This is one of the more picturesque towns along Western Sweden – located about a 90 minutes drive north of Gothenburg. Colorful buildings line the harbor – and on a clear and warm day this is the perfect spot to enjoy an ice cream or duck into any of a number of specialty shops here.

HISTORY is integral to the story of the tiny village of Edgehill in Warwickshire, the scene of the bloodiest battle in The English Civil War. Today, the din of muskets and cannons are, thankfully, confined to those history books and the battlefields instead offer idyllic views from one of the most impressive vantage points in the country, The Castle pub. Perched on the summit overlooking the infamous battlefields, The Castle at Edgehill is also renowned for its exceptional hospitality. With award-winning food, four-star accommodation and now, a brand new gin […]

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 island specialty rum based elixirs. Once you’ve chilled in the sand […]

Lyon is considered France’s capital of gastronomy. And with good reason. With the highest concentration of restaurants per capita in the country, Lyon lies in an enviable position. Literally.

Bresse chicken and Charolais beef from the north (with Bresse chicken dubbed as “the Rolls Royce of chickens” by Anthony Bourdain). Charcuterie from livestock farms in the Lyonnais mountains on […]

We started our 3-week stay in Australia with 3 days on Kangaroo Island. The appeal of Australia was without surprise its rich and unique wildlife. Kangaroo Island seems to encompass many of what we looked for. Why Kangaroo Island? The third largest island in Australia with 155 km long and 55 km wide (96 miles by 34 miles), Kangaroo Island is not on the tourist trail and has stayed untouched from the big tourism. Indeed, a third of the island has been set aside as a Natural or Conservation Park, […]

“There is an elephant holocaust going on in Africa today,” says Paul Maritz, the last gentleman adventurer. “Up to this point elephant counts have been done by error-prone Mark 1 Eyeballs, and nobody believes the numbers. You really can’t motivate people to take needed drastic actions unless they are convinced you have the facts. And so we need to get the facts.” Rhodesia born Paul and his brother David have created a flying machine they think can do the job: the BushCat, a lightweight, low- and slow-winged vehicle, designed for […]

An American backpacker cannot decide whether street food or budget restaurants offer the best (read: safest) fetish of freshness until he visits one of Thailand’s signature Floating Night Markets… As someone used to eating Thai food in New York City, with restaurants with babytalk names like “Yum Yum” and “Tastee Thai,” I was blown away when I tasted real Siamese fare for the first time in Bangkok’s Banglamphu district, an area filled with cheap guesthouses and runaway restaurants. “Un, HOT!” I managed to spit out a lump of Masaman curry.
