Berlin, Germany is full of history blended with stunning architecture, landmarks, and its art scene. And since its start, the nation has become an iconic city found in history books. The capital of Germany peeps reminders of its rough past, including the Holocaust and Berlin Wall along with its Cold War divide. With a rich history comes many stories that are found through architecture all over Berlin. Looking to explore this city and all it … [Read more...]

Enjoy a European Geo Thermal Spa Experience in the heart of Southern California

November 15, 2024 by Joanne and Tony TravelsLeave a Comment

Murrieta Hot Springs, California,  Geothermal Resort Review I first discovered the benefits of thermal springs as a young bride living in Southern Germany.  My life there included visits to picturesque towns which evoked scenes right out of the “Sound of Music.”  But nothing quite surpassed the rejuvenation and relaxation I felt after a dip in one of the many thermal pools that dotted the Bavarian countryside. I had the pleasure of … [Read more...]

Discovering Art, Crafts, and Culture in Puerto Vallarta’s Zona Romantica

November 10, 2024 by Kathy AndersonLeave a Comment

Puerto Vallarta has long been a favorite travel destination of mine, a city where tropical beauty meets rich tradition. Nestled along the sparkling blue waters of Banderas Bay and framed by lush green mountains, this vibrant port town bursts with charm, art, and a rhythm all its own. After more than 30 years of visiting, both by land and sea, I always find something new that stirs my heart. Located in the Mexican state of Jalisco, Puerto … [Read more...]

A short stay in Hampshire (just isn’t enough!)

November 5, 2024 by Amanda ChalmersLeave a Comment

While visiting family in Hampshire, I decided to make a weekend of it and accept an invitation to make our base the newly rebranded voco® Winchester Hotel & Spa. Previously part of the Holiday Inn group of hotels, we were lucky enough to be among the first to have the voco® experience as the wraps came off a £2m refurbishment. The contemporary hotel, which was first built in 2010, is located on the edge of the beautiful South Downs … [Read more...]

The Heidelberg Project, Detroit – November 2024

November 1, 2024 by DaveLeave a Comment

The Heidelberg Project is located in Detroit's McDougall Hunt neighborhood, only about a 10 minute drive from downtown Detroit. It encompasses a long block of street art. Its name comes from one of its bordering streets, Heidelberg Street. While often referred to as eclectic art, and it is, however art is truly defined by the eye of the viewer. And in this case, this community art is created by building pieces and forms from common items used … [Read more...]

Where in the World Am I Now?

November 1, 2024 by Dave2 Comments

Driving from Mumbai to Nashik we passed road construction chaos. If I had to guess I would say completion on this project will be sometime between 550 and 750 years from now. It had the appearance of having been worked on for decades with little progress to show for the effort. What appeared to be total chaos for kilometers included piles of rotting garbage, lengthy sections of broken pavement, stones everywhere, partially paved sections covered … [Read more...]

Beyond the Vines: Paso Robles’ Playground of Lights, Bites, and Delights

October 26, 2024 by Tom BentleyLeave a Comment

Paso Robles, you know it: that quaint, semi-rustic town you stop at for a bite and a glass of wine on your drives between LA and San Francisco. Well, in between drives, Paso Robles has grown up, and in the best of ways. These days, Paso is more of a first (though less expensive) cousin of Napa’s St. Helena—you’ll definitely want a second glass of wine. And you’ll want to stay a spell. The town retains its California Western feel, but now … [Read more...]

Why Now is the Right Time to Visit Zimbabwe

October 10, 2024 by Abdul Rastagar2 Comments

When people think of a holiday in Africa, chances are Zimbabwe hasn’t been top of mind for most. But my recent return trip to this beautiful southern African nation refreshed my perspective.  I was last here twenty years ago as a backpacker, and I often think back fondly of that adventurous trip. And while the country has come a long way, it’s also kept many of the things that make it such a neat experience. There’s far too much to see for … [Read more...]
