Marseille, France: European Capital of Culture

July 13, 2015 by Catherine Sweeney3 Comments

Arrived in Marseille! Beautiful backdrop of Marseille's Eiffel Tower, Basilica Notre Dame de la Garde from the steps of the InterContinental Marseille Hôtel Dieu

As someone who lives in Marseille told me, “Marseille is a way of life”. It’s the playing of pétanque (similar to bocce), the imbibing of pastis (an anise liqueur developed in Marseille as a substitute for the banned absinthe in 1915), the savoring of Bouillabaisse (for which Marseille is famous), and a certain "joie de vivre".

As it so happens, I went with my mom; she was my travel buddy in Montreal. I had been dying … [Read more...]

Three Fabulous Colonial Cities in Mexico

July 8, 2015 by Claudia Tavani2 Comments

Mexico is a huge country, that well deserves a visit. I have been there 3 times and for as much as I try to explore a bit more every time, I am never quite done with it. It is one among the few countries I keep going back to, like Peru or Cuba, because it just has everything I can possibly look for when I travel. Amazing archeological sites, lush nature, beautiful beaches, deserts, interesting indigenous communities, delicious food and gorgeous … [Read more...]

Dolphin Reef Spa in Eilat, Israel

June 8, 2015 by Jacki UengLeave a Comment

Those who have visited Israel, or watched the satirical movie "Don't Mess with Zohan", will recognize another side of Israelis - one that is not so apparent unless you have befriended them or come in contact with them. Deep inside, they are a bunch of fun-loving hippies and love life like there's no tomorrow. It's all about the Work Hard, Play Hard mentality. That is one of the many reasons I love Israel so much. My third visit to the country was … [Read more...]
