How to Tell if House Sitting is Right for You

February 9, 2019 by Vanessa PalmerLeave a Comment

In the past six months, I lived in a land-locked nation where Mercedes and BMWs rank in the top five most popular cars, enjoyed endless sunny days on golden sandy beaches along the sparkling Atlantic Ocean, and for a week called a tiny New York apartment home. Digital nomads, retirees with free time, and travelers hoping to live like a local have embraced the house sitting lifestyle. Despite this trend, it remains a generally untapped … [Read more...]

Luxury Travel Reinvented

February 6, 2019 by Stefanie Nissen1 Comment

Luxury is no longer a thing of the past. As Samantha Shankman stated “Luxury is in the midst of a metamorphosis. While luxury once meant the most expensive or most well-known product or experience, today it’s become a way of being or moving throughout the world.” Luxury travel, fashion and technology go hand-in-hand and these areas are constantly evolving because our expectations of certain experiences are changing at a more rapid pace.

Cruising the Fjords of Patagonia

February 4, 2019 by Abdul Rastagar2 Comments

Few places around the world evoke as much myth and awe as Chile’s Patagonia region. The mere name conjures imagery of pristine wilderness and raw nature, of stunning scenery and awe-inspiring mountains. This is where land meets sea, where ocean currents are funneled through narrow gorges opening to cavernous bays, where innumerable fjords and glaciers carve through rocky massifs. Surrounded by only water for thousands of kilometers in three … [Read more...]

Sandy Island, Anguilla – February 2019

February 1, 2019 by DaveLeave a Comment

This tiny strip of sand is a getaway from your getaway! The island features merely 0.6 of an acre of silky smooth white sand in an elongated shape tinged with the occasional colorful umbrella and the obligatory white beach chairs. From Sandy Ground Wharf it is only about a 12 minute power boat ride to the island. Once you arrive, you will be treated to a small restaurant that stays busy serving a variety of tropical drinks including some … [Read more...]

A Layover Trip to Athens

February 1, 2019 by Steve Long5 Comments

It’s not everyday that I get to feel like I’m living in history, but that’s exactly how I felt looking at the rolling hills of Athens from the top of the Acropolis, images from 300 flashing in and out of my head (I know I know 300 is Sparta not Athens). I was on my way to Iceland from Singapore after attending a trade show on the island nation. There were no direct flights available; what’s more, there wasn’t even a simple connecting … [Read more...]

Street Art of Bogota

January 27, 2019 by Abdul Rastagar2 Comments

“See that hummingbird? They appear frequently in murals because we have over 100 different types of them here in Colombia,” says Jay, my tour guide. Bogota would probably not come to most people's minds right away when thinking of the world’s great street art traditions. Yet, here I am, standing in the middle of the colorful La Candelaria district, surrounded by mural-covered walls everywhere I look. It is a veritable 360-degree immersive … [Read more...]

January 25, 2019 by Pranaya Baniya8 Comments

Trekking to the mountains is a passion of many adventure lovers. It begins with a single step and slowly and gradually as we put one foot in front of the other, we push our body and our mind to reach places that very few people have ever been to.
