11 Safety Tips for Solo Female Travelers in Korea

January 10, 2026 by Minjung SeoLeave a Comment

Korean Girl Explains_Seoul at night

Is Korea safe for a solo female traveler? For the most part, yes! Korea is a generally a great destination for female travelers, until you want some authentic Korean food or KBBQ. Some restaurants might not accommodate solo diners. But it's not because of your nationality. Their minimum order usually starts at a two-person portion, so they would refuse to serve me as well. Back to safety, it's always better to be safe than … [Read more...]

The Insider’s Itinerary: How to Find the Real Hunter Valley (Beyond the Big Names)

January 5, 2026 by David HenryLeave a Comment

The Hunter Valley is a bit of a legend in Australia. As our oldest wine region, it carries a certain weight. But for a first-time visitor, it can be... overwhelming. On my first trip years ago, I made the classic mistake: I bounced between the three giant, famous wineries you see on every billboard, tasted the same two styles of wine, and left feeling like I’d missed something. I had. The real soul of the Hunter isn't on the main road. It's … [Read more...]

Five Wine Regions That Changed How I See the World

December 20, 2025 by Ian Cauble2 Comments

Wine has a way of turning geography into memory. Not just places on a map, but moments burned into your senses—the smell of hot stone, the scrape of gravel underfoot, the way a long lunch quietly becomes dinner. Over the past 25 years, including the formative years spent training to pass the Master Sommelier exam, these experiences have shaped how I understand wine and the world around it. These are the places I return to in my memory—and the … [Read more...]

Las Vegas Dating Beyond The Strip

December 11, 2025 by DaveLeave a Comment

Too many queer people know what it's like to feel see-through. Friends and family look at you but they don't really see your person and its a devastating kind of heartbreak. Las Vegas' rapid pace and massive population takes that feeling and more than kicks it up a notch. In sin city where you can feel surrounded by thousands yet still invisible, having someone who truly sees you is its own form of safety. Relationships become a place to … [Read more...]

December 10, 2025 by Dave3 Comments

I have spent nearly 6 months in Australia over the past 20 years of traveling in this part of that world. I keep returning because of its geographic landscape, history, food, wine scene, and incredible diversity of experiences. And the fact that it never feels over crowded.
