Our favorite international spy is back in the 24th Bond movie and while the ladies love to swoon over Daniel Craig in all his sexy Bondness, it’s the jet setting across the globe that makes me go weak at the knees. There’s hardly another character as well-traveled as James Bond. But you don’t have to […]
36 Hours in Regensburg
It’s funny how you end up places sometimes. I’d never heard of Regensburg until several friends sent me pictures of a restaurant called Dombrowski. It was located in a charming square in Regensburg, Germany. I knew nothing else beyond that some town in Germany had a restaurant with the same name as my last name, […]
The Todd English Food Hall at The Plaza
I’m no stranger to food halls. Europe has fantastic ones like Galerie Lafayette in Paris, Stockmann’s in Helsinki, KaDeWe in Berlin and Harrods in London. They are like an upscale cafeteria with gourmet eats and I like that you can quench your cravings with a variety of small plates from around the world. So I […]
Dürkheimer Wurstmarkt: The World’s Largest Wine Festival
Time for a confession. Drinking liter after liter of beer while sitting around in a tent with 7500 of my closest friends has about the same appeal to me as eating fried tarantulas in Cambodia. I did it once – the drinking beer, not eating fried tarantulas – and while I’m glad to have experienced […]
Unexpected Luxembourg: Fine Wine and Fabulous Food
Fine wine? Until I received an invitation from the Grand Duchy to come on a wine themed weekend trip, I must admit that I had no idea that Luxembourg even grew wine. And much to my relief, or at least that’s what the Luxembourgers told me, very little of the rest of Europe knows it […]
Iceland Road Trip Around the Snæfellsnes Peninsula
Iceland is a country filled with take-your-breath-away landscapes that vary from massive blue glaciers to black sand beaches and colorful moss-covered lava fields to misty waterfalls. Since our first trip to Iceland four years ago, it’s become a country easily accessible to travelers with many of them taking advantage of Icelandair’s free stopover. Most explore […]
The Perfect Parisian Boutique Hotel
If ever there were a city that evokes romantic thoughts of strolling hand-in-hand and just being in love, Paris is it. Perhaps that’s why we’ve been to the City of Light a few times now. And when we go, I always like to stay in the 8th arrondissement. It is, after all, one of the […]
Adventure and Wine on the Rheinsteig Trail
The Rheinsteig Trail runs for 320 kilometers from Bonn to Wiesbaden, passing by castles and through vineyards on the east bank of the Rhine River. The perfect combination of adventure and wine, the German National Tourist Office invited me to hike part of the long distance trail to celebrate the Rheinsteig’s 10-year anniversary. Tim is […]
Maratea: A Hidden Gem in Italy’s Basilicata
When I planned my 2000 kilometer road trip from Venice to the bottom of the boot and back, it all started with an invitation to Hotel Santavenere, a 5-star luxury hotel and spa in Maratea. It’s a town in Italy I’d make a bet you’ve never heard of. I certainly hadn’t. Maratea is a hidden […]
Ferrara Street Dinner
I received an intriguing invitation. Attire: all white. Location: a mystery only to be revealed by text message during the event. What: a culinary adventure as the charming town of Ferrara turned in to an open air pop-up restaurant for one night only for the annual Street Dinner event. I wasn’t entirely sure what to […]
