Visiting Vegas: The home of the casino

While you may think a visit to Las Vegas is all about heading into a casino and gambling for the entirety of your trip, you'd be mistaken. Sin City is full of wonder and is packed with an incredible array of things to do, as well as having a flutter on the spin of a roulette wheel. The common misconception when it comes to this awe-inspiring city is that it's all about drinking and gambling - Vegas is actually a many-layered and wondrous … [Read more...]

Highlights of the Spanish Andalusia Region

August 10, 2019 by Madhusree DasLeave a Comment

Highlights of the Spanish Andalusia Region

The enduring appeal of Andalusia is easy to understand. It’s a region that has almost every single Spanish cliché from barrel-aged sherry to flamboyant flamenco dancing and vibrant fiestas. Andalusia is home to the sun-baked patios of Seville, the gorge-poised city of Ronda, and the red-tinged Alhambra in Granada. On top of the tourist-rich highlights, dig a little deeper to find blissfully quiet and crowd-free, off-the-beaten track hidden gems … [Read more...]

CicLAvia – When LA Ditches the Car

Pity Angelinos, the unhappy residents of the City of Angels Automobiles. Few cities in the world are as car-centric as theirs. From the world’s first freeway (Pasadena Freeway) to the world’s busiest interchange (I-105 and I-110), Los Angeles was developed in the early decades of the 20th century as a marvel of modern transportation, the ultimate exemplar of mobility in a spectacular new era. Street cars, subways and light rails of east coast … [Read more...]

Five Reasons to Visit Medellin

Lonely Planet named Colombia 2nd best country to visit in 2017. I first visited Colombia a few years ago, when I set foot into the walled city of Cartagena. I had just finished reading Colombian author Gabriel Garcia Marquez’ Love in the Time of Cholera, and as I moved through the old town in Cartagena, pages of his novel came to life, setting the tone for that trip. I discovered a colorful, romantic city where Latin music and dancing greeted me … [Read more...]

10 Days of Greece Holidays – 1Girl, 1Guy, 1Crazy Adventure

Recently I visited Greece for a 10 day holiday. Before planning our travels, I had some questions: - What are the best islands to visit in Greece? - Where to stay? - What to do? We had only 10 days and wanted this to be a dream trip. So we carefully chose to visit Santorini island, Mykonos island and Vikos Gorge in Zagoria. Although we had multiple flights through Athens, we did not really explore the city. Here are our favorite places … [Read more...]

Celebrating The Broadmoor’s 100th Anniversary

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...]
