If you’re looking for a magnificent view on the ground and from the air, these flight routes will provide you with the … [Read more...]

Q. I love your “Everyday People” column, it literally reminds me of the lyrics from the Sly & The Family Stone's classic “Everyday People” – “I am no better and neither are you, we’re all the same, whatever we do, You love me, you hate me. You know me and then. You can't figure out the bag I'm in”. What inspired you to start that interview project and what have you learned through these interviews with random people? Firstly, thanks so … [Read more...]

Hands-on Ecuadorian Artisans Are Hands-Down Amazing

August 18, 2020 by Tom Bentley2 Comments

Photo by Alice Bourget When I was around 10, I tagged along to my brother’s Boy Scout meeting, where one activity was making art projects.
