Five Reasons to Visit Medellin

March 28, 2019 by Preethi ChandrasekharLeave a Comment

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 discovered a colorful, romantic city where Latin music and dancing greeted me … [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...]

Luxury Travel Reinvented

February 6, 2019 by Stefanie Nissen1 Comment

Introduction to Havana

November 22, 2018 by Dave14 Comments

I learned that it takes a few days to warm to Cuba - but when you do, its alluring embrace grabs you with all it has and doesn't let go. The colorfully dressed person in front of me boarded the plane without any shoes and left the plane without any shoes. Never seen that before. Following a very quick wait in customs, I then caught a taxi to Havana for 30 CUC, the Cuban currency (the airport is about 30-45 minutes from the center of the city). … [Read more...]
