Toretto’s Barbershop, Frankfurt Germany – November 2022

November 1, 2022 by DaveLeave a Comment

Toretto's Barbershop, Frankfurt Germany is as old school as it gets and within a short time is already one of the world's great barbershops. A bit edgy, definitely more then a bit OG, yet the vibe here is decidedly youthful. Founded and run by Alex Torreto whose window onto the world situated next to chair number 1. Alex is Greek but was born and raised in Germany. Barbershops are not a 'thing' in Germany and according to Alex, his shop is … [Read more...]

A Visit to Muckross House and Killarney National Park, Ireland

January 29, 2021 by DaveLeave a Comment

My first trip to Ireland was somewhat of a blur. I stayed in Dublin recalling that most of my time was spent hanging out in pubs and drinking - because that is what one does when visiting this city! However, my most recent trip to Ireland was a bit was not about 'drinking' tourism, rather more about heritage and exploration away from the bigger cities. My travel buddy and I landed in Cork (the southern part of Ireland); we were immediately … [Read more...]

A Visit to the World’s Greatest Barbershop

July 1, 2020 by Dave4 Comments

About 60 mostly bearded fellows were lined up already - a count by our own estimate. And according to front man, chair number one and owner Alex Torreto, a slow day by his account. They often start lining up two hours before the shop even opens he said. I must digress. Central Frankfurt has a real lack of barbers, simply put - places where one can walk in the door and just get a damn haircut. Prior to my visit to Torreto, I stopped by 7 other … [Read more...]

The End of the Road: “I’ve finally made it around the world.”

December 8, 2018 by Pete Martin2 Comments

I’m tired this morning. It feels like the end of a very long journey. I sleep in, listening to the sounds of Parisian life outside my hotel. While it will be the end of this journey around the world with the last leg from Paris back to Frankfurt tomorrow, perhaps it’s the start of something else. I want to believe that my days of living and working with people who do not share my values are over (or at least I will be conscious of the … [Read more...]

Lutherhaus Schmalkalden

In the footsteps of  500 Years of Reformation October 31st, 2017 will mark the 500th Anniversary of the world changing event when religious reformer Martin Luther nailed his arguments against the practices of the Catholic Church, his “95 Theses” to a church door in Wittenberg, Germany beginning the Protestant Reformation.

Italy Is Always A Good Idea

August 1, 2017 by Julie StevensLeave a Comment

I know this title normally refers to Paris, but for me, Italy has been on my mind and in my dreams since I first saw the movie "Only You" with Robert Downey Jr. & Marisa Tomei. The music, the cobblestone streets, the pasta, the lilt that accompanies each Italian word, and the romance. Bellisima! (Try to picture my thumb and fingers together waving in the air while I say this). There is so much to say about our trip to Italy, so you can expect … [Read more...]
