Vienna’s Josefstadt and Neubau Explored
Vienna's Josefstadt and Neubau, by native Barbara Cacao, Vienna Unwrapped The local radio news sounded through the drugstore, where I was searching for toothpaste: A record number of tourists had been flocking to Vienna in 2016. The Vienna Tourism Office was at pains to promote new tourist attractions outside the city center to disperse the number of travellers huddling in the historic city centre. I was in my old neighbourhood Josefstadt: … [Read more...]
Israel, The Holy Land
There is a magical land located in the Middle East; it is but a relatively small dot on the map, but has played an enormous role politically and religiously throughout recorded history.

Nine Reasons to Visit the Azores Now
Name the group of nine European islands merely four-and-a-half hours from Boston Logan Airport. Stumped? You are not alone. Most of America has never heard of the Azores, couldn't locate them on a map, and wouldn't know what part of Europe claims them as countrymen.

Valencia: The BEST Paella
It’s hard for me not to be emotional when writing about my time in Valencia. I’m not sure exactly what is was about the city but it seems to have enchanted me.

Greetings from the Jordanian Desert
This was part of an epic mid summer trek from Dana Biosphere Reserve to Petra - via Little Petra.

After an hour of our estimated 6-hour trek I had already consumed 1/2 of my water allotment. … [Read more...]
