Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the north and the Caribbean Sea to the south, the Dominican Republic’s 18,704 sq. miles consist of rain forest, savannah and highlands.

Petit St. Vincent: A Caribbean Gourmet Getaway

December 30, 2016 by Allison Tibaldi2 Comments

The Grenadines are a chain of Caribbean islands that have been only lightly touched by mass tourism. For water enthusiasts, it’s a treasure chest of crystalline seas, undisturbed coral reefs and top-notch diving. I’ve visited a number of Instagram-worthy Caribbean Islands but the Grenadines are my numero uno. Time spent in this part of the world is an instant elixir to my stress-filled urban existence. As a foodie, no vacation is complete if … [Read more...]

Between the Traditional and the Modern, there Lies Ulaanbaatar

December 2, 2016 by Abdul Rastagar4 Comments

Somewhere between the modern and the traditional, there lies Ulaanbaatar. Mongolia’s fascinating capital is a city evolving before our very eyes. Its population is rapidly trading its ancestral, nomadic ways for a more modern life while still trying to retain the uniqueness of its rich culture. Ulaanbaatar is a city in transition, moved by dynamics bigger than itself. It lies at the intersection of globalization, capitalism, the legacy of … [Read more...]

Eating Essentials in New Haven, CT

November 22, 2016 by Marianne Ruane2 Comments

I’m not a big fan of pizza. I like it well enough, but I had never had a pizza that I thought was extraordinary. There is one exception - I’m originally from Northeastern Pennsylvania and pizza from the town of Old Forge really is delicious. But with square cuts from a big rectangular crust, thick tomato sauce, and an American cheese blend, Old Forge pizza always seemed outside the realm of ordinary pizza, in its own category, at least in my … [Read more...]

The Delightful Mai Samui

November 2, 2016 by Anthony Jury3 Comments

The calmness of the sea and the towering palm trees full of coconuts alerts you to a paradise awaiting inside the Mai Samui Beach Resort and Spa. Upon arrival, you are greeted with a smile and an ice-cold drink. But you are distracted by what’s around you. The rooms tower above and border the swimming pools below. Your eyes are spoiled at the sight and you know from the beginning that your stay at Mai Samui will be a vacation that you’ll never … [Read more...]

Backpacking in Venezuela

October 31, 2016 by Stingy Nomads2 Comments

Waterfall in Jasper Canyon - Gran Sabana, Venezuela,

Venezuela must be one of the most unique countries I have ever been to. Since so few people travel here, most of what we heard, from its beauty to its dangerous reputation is a combination of myth and mystery. It is a country that has never been on my travel radar; Alya however has been talking about visiting the amazing Mount Roraima for a while. THE REPUTATION When we started to investigate we heard so much nonsense, it seemed like … [Read more...]

Northern Galicia Coast: Rinlo and Cathedral Beach

October 29, 2016 by Brooke Heron1 Comment

I ended up visiting Cathedral Beach in Galicia by chance. My boyfriend and I had planned a weekend in Galicia (we're currently living in Madrid short-term for his job, but he's from Galicia) and we decided to simply look for a casa rural (a rurally located Spanish B&B) that was a good price, and that was in a good location. Where, didn't matter all that much. I had wanted to explore Galicia long before I met my boyfriend so when we met, … [Read more...]

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines – Experience the Pop Up!

October 23, 2016 by Preethi Chandrasekhar2 Comments

I'm your typical eggs and bacon breakfast gal, maybe even a slice of toast and butter if I'm feeling adventurous! Recently I had a fantastic opportunity to visit the KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Pop Up in Union Square, San Francisco at 9:00am in the morning and got to partake in the traditional Dutch Stroopwafels for breakfast! These are lovely chewy caramel cookies and are delicious with a morning coffee or heck just as a tasty snack anytime!  A … [Read more...]
