In the late 1990's a "kiwi" named Bottles was traveling overland through Africa and came across the Zambezi River. He never left. Today Bottles runs Jet Extreme, a totally self made business which caters to adventurers looking to experience the fast moving Zambezi River in an even faster way - on a jet boat. We rolled out in Bottles' canopy covered people mover - through the Mukuni Village where the well educated chief used to run marketing … [Read more...]
A Perfect Day in Santa Fe
When people think of Santa Fe, they usually conjure up images of adobe buildings or art. While art and architecture are intrinsic parts of Santa Fe's identity, there's a whole lot more going on in the City Different. Unofficially, we're the funny bumper sticker capital of America. The city is also extremely old, as Santa Fe was founded thirteen years before the Pilgrims made it to Plymouth Rock. If you only have one day to visit, here's how to … [Read more...]
Moon San Miguel de Allende
Moon San Miguel de Allende by Julie Doherty Meade has just released their guide to San Miguel de Allende in Central Mexico.

A Bicycle Built for Two
While I was house-sitting a 15th-century farmhouse in historical Gascony, with a backyard view of the snow-capped Pyrennees, I decided one bracing morning over a cafe du lait to hire a bike and make a pilgrimage to one of France's oddest pilgrimage sites: "NOTRE DAME DES CYCLISTES." Looking decidedly uncool in my fuzzy Patagonia jacket, Tintin T-shirt, Gap shorts, white athletic socks, and Rockport walking shoes, I pedaled like a madman, … [Read more...]
The Currywurst. A True Berlin Institution
I would lie if I would claim that I would find this a little odd, but the German cuisine is internationally widely known for its sausages. The Germans have many different kinds of it. Usually there are not being served at the table in apartments in Berlin. It is much more common that they are being sold as a quick bite on the go to which the Germans refer to as Imbiss at Imbissbuden, snack carts etc. One of the most popular and widely … [Read more...]

Budapest: City of Change
There is a lilting quality to Budapest that changes to crashing crescendos as one visits different parts of this medieval city. Budapest has been prey to many conquerors...the Mongols, the Turks and more recently - the Germans and then the Russians. Now it has been restored to its own people, the Hungarians who arrived to create their first settlement early in the 9th century. This beautiful city straddling the Danube has much to offer to … [Read more...]
Contemporary Art in Rome
At the sound of the term "contemporary art" Rome is probably one of the last things that come to mind. Yes, of course there is plenty of art to be found in Rome, but artists like Caravaggio or Michelangelo don't exactly stand for futuristic video installations or performance art. Up until recently the contemporary art scene in Rome was said to be either dead or none-existent. But during the last couple of years efforts have been made to make room … [Read more...]
