Top 3 San Diego Fishing Spots for First Time Visitors

March 23, 2018 by Teresa BonhamLeave a Comment

If you happen to visit the “birthplace of California”, make sure to head out and wet your line to get the real taste of this sunny metropolis. San Diego fishing is excellent for the better part of the year and the game fishing in the summer months is as fine as the city itself. From tuna, wahoo, halibut, and bass to amberjacks, there’s so much to catch here. You can chase bottom dwellers or head out to take on massive game fish – you name it, … [Read more...]

Celebrating The Broadmoor’s 100th Anniversary

March 15, 2018 by Steve MirskyLeave a Comment

How exactly do you celebrate the centennial of an iconic hotel built back in 1918 by real estate and gold mining baron Spencer Penrose who in his free time sped up hairpin turns in his “Yellow Devil” Pierce Arrow race car on a dirt road all the way to the summit of Pike's Peak's? You start with fireworks, champagne, special packages, and themed events scheduled throughout the year but fully immersing yourself in all The Broadmoor has to offer is … [Read more...]

Sarah Dandashy, Founder Ask A Concierge

February 16, 2018 by DaveLeave a Comment

I first discovered Sarah's Ask a Concierge website when reviewing the list of speakers at the annual Los Angeles Travel and Adventure Show (held every February).

She is a prolific writer, creates entertaining travel videos and is a well-regarded concierge. In 2015 Les Clefs d'Or named her "The World's Most … [Read more...]

Dreaming of My Own Private Island in Aruba

February 7, 2018 by Allison TibaldiLeave a Comment

Aruba is a Caribbean gem. The white sand beaches and crystal-clear blue water make it a legitimate standout. If you thought the Caribbean was all lush tropical foliage, you’re in for a surprise when you see Aruba’s desert landscape. Aruba is arid, but it’s loaded with stunning floral eye candy. Its famed Divi Divi trees act like a natural compass, dipping graciously in a southwesterly direction, given a push by Aruba’s steady trade winds. … [Read more...]

The Oltrepo Pavese – Milan’s Secret Wine Region

January 10, 2018 by Stef Smulders2 Comments

oltrepo pavese wine region

Though frequently called the Tuscany of the North of Italy, the Oltrepò Pavese in Lombardy, only 40 miles south of Milan, is fairly unknown abroad. Tourists pass the area closely when travelling to the real Tuscany, to Umbria or further south. This is a pity as the Oltrepò really offers something worthwhile for almost every tourist, especially food and wine lovers. The area offers smooth hills, medieval villages and castles, panoramic views, … [Read more...]

Adventure Travel in Quebec – Part II

December 19, 2017 by Abdul RastagarLeave a Comment

“Blessed are the curious, for they shall have adventure.” When I last left you on my week-long adventure trip to Quebec's Saguenay-Lac St. Jean region, I had just finished two days of aerial challenges: an exhausting a treetop obstacle course, followed by an even more obscene climb along the 250-meter high Via Ferrata. What was next on the agenda around Saguenay fjord, I wondered? Sea kayaking in the fjord Turns out, that next stop … [Read more...]

Looking Cool, Feeling Lonely

December 15, 2017 by Juliana Lyons1 Comment

After my first year of college, I was dying to do something by myself. Freshman year was filled with group outings, constantly noisy dorms, and very little personal space. I arrogantly prided myself in being an introvert, and thought I was so cool for being brave enough to travel through Europe by myself. This two-week solo trip was my chance to establish my independence over the summer, and prove that I was an adult. But it turns out that I was … [Read more...]
