You know, the nation-state of Indonesia that’s: · 87% Muslim · 100% brown outside of a tiny smattering of (presumably Nazi) expats · 6,700 miles from Berlin · In the southern hemisphere But whatever.

Trekking to Annapurna Base Camp By Sunita Khadka The alarm went off at 4:30 AM, waking me up from a restless sleep 3,700 meters above sea level. My head hurt a little, which was a sign that the air here doesn’t have as much oxygen as I’m used to. But when I unzipped my sleeping bag in the cold, dark teahouse, the thrill of it all made any discomfort go away. I would finally get to Annapurna Base Camp today, after six days of hiking. When I first saw the […]

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 ones I will always love. Every reader should put them on […]

I caught a red eye from California to JFK in New York but before I left, our flight was delayed 90 minutes due to crew who had not yet arrived at the airport. This and other delays have plagued nearly most of my flights this year – although this wasn’t as bad as sitting on the tarmac in Germany earlier in the year for nearly 6 hours for maintenance issues and then having to go back to the gate because the flight was ultimately canceled. And having to catch another […]

Introduction Amsterdam was not meant to change everything. For most business travellers and expats, it is just another European city on the itinerary—a convenient spot for meetings, conferences, or short-term projects. The plan is always simple: arrive, work, explore a little, and leave with some nice memories and a few photos. But Amsterdam has different ideas. Beneath the picture-perfect canals and tourist-friendly surface lies something more powerful: a place where temporary visitors accidentally discover what they’ve been missing. It’s not the museums or nightlife that hooks them—it’s the morning bike […]
