Flowers Everywhere! Southern California’s Springtime Bloom

April 15, 2019 by Dave29 Comments

Driving out in the morning from Mission Viejo to Lake Elsinore mid week, I thought for sure I would have the poppy fields all to myself. I could not have been more wrong. Pulling off the 15 on Lake Street and heading onto Walker Canyon Road I soon found myself in a 'zoo'. Seemingly all of Los Angeles and Orange County had made the trek out this Wednesday morning - traffic officers were directing cars, cars were backed up all the way into Walker … [Read more...]

New York State's Hudson Valley is filled with artisan food producers, bucolic scenery, and a wide array of historic inns and bed & breakfasts.

This 125-mile-long chain of islands is a natural wonderland that begins just south of Miami.

Why skiing in Turkey is an Awesome Experience

April 1, 2019 by Abdul RastagarLeave a Comment

“One-third of the world’s population lives within a 4-hour flight from here. That’s why we call it the nearest ski resort in the world.” The winds of change are finally drifting across Turkey. The country is not exactly the first place that comes to mind when we think of skiing. Less than 1% of the country participates, and its international reputation for the winter sport is non-existent.

Five Reasons to Visit Medellin

March 28, 2019 by Preethi ChandrasekharLeave a Comment

I had just finished reading Colombian author Gabriel Garcia Marquez’ Love in the Time of Cholera, and as I moved through the old town in Cartagena, pages of his novel came to life, setting the tone for that trip. I discovered a colorful, romantic city where Latin music and dancing greeted me … [Read more...]

6 Rules of Dealing with Injury and Illness Abroad

March 27, 2019 by Danica MLeave a Comment

When you go off on a trip, you think more about the good stuff that might happen and less about the bad stuff. However, accidents and illnesses can occur at all times – and it does not care whether you are on a vacation or not. This is even more troublesome if you are abroad in an unfamiliar country, one that is far more costly than where you came from. Plus, there’s a high chance that you won’t even be treated – simply because you don’t have … [Read more...]
