March 17, 2020 by Olivia LivengLeave a Comment

One of the joys of being a travel writer is that I get to fulfill my quench for knowledge and adventure daily.

Amongst the passport stamps and customs checkpoints, it remains important to me to explore my roots. And that is why every year I … [Read more...]

Cheesecake in the Vineyard

August 12, 2019 by Wendy VanHattenLeave a Comment

To say food inspired me on a trip to Italy sounds trite and a little too rehearsed. After all, there are lots of people who have been inspired by Italian food. Right? I’m telling you...this was different. Maybe it was because this was our first trip to Italy. Or, maybe it was because it was before GPS, and we had to rely on maps, road signs, and our basic sense of direction to get to our food. Some meals were more of an adventure than … [Read more...]

Destination Guide to Uzbekistan

July 31, 2019 by Preethi Chandrasekhar8 Comments

When I told people I was traveling to Uzbekistan, they exclaimed "Uzbekiwhere?!" and then followed that up by "Is it safe?!"  Uzbekistan IS bordered by Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan and Turkmenistan, countries that are not very well known in the West. So I suppose the "safe" question was fair enough! I'm here to give you the 411 on this destination and hopefully … [Read more...]

Incomparable and Magnificent Istanbul

February 12, 2019 by Abdul RastagarLeave a Comment

“If a blind man should gaze upon the world but one day, he should gaze upon Istanbul.” – Alphonse de Lamartine Few places elicit the “It's the most beautiful city I have ever seen!” reaction as frequently as Istanbul. Those were also my exact sentiments the first time I visited back in 2004. Today, 15 years later, as I stroll the empty streets of downtown Istanbul in the middle of the night, I remember why I have ever since felt this way. I … [Read more...]
