We might be a little biased since we do call Bordeaux home, but we think it’s one of the best places to visit in France. There’s no where else in France like it. You can combine a vibrant city, beautiful vineyards making some of the world’s most famous wine, a charming medieval UNESCO listed village […]
Best Power Banks for Charging Up Your Phone on the Go
These days our smartphones are practically an extension of us. And when it comes to traveling, they serve as mobile boarding passes, guidebooks, GPS navigation systems and cameras. There’s almost nothing worse than watching your smartphone hit the dreaded 20% battery indicator and then drain down as you pray it guides you to your next […]
Château La Dominique: Saint-Émilion’s Architectural Wonder
On the border of the Pomerol and Saint-Émilion appellations, Château La Dominique quite literally stands out among some of Bordeaux’s most famous châteaux.

The Perfect 3-Day Weekend in North Wales
North Wales is a weirdly wonderful area encompassing both dramatic coastline and soaring mountains stretching from Angelsey to Gwynedd. It’s got its own language and culture, a plethora of quirky attractions from the smallest house in Great Britain to the world’s largest underground zip-line, a lengthy list of outdoor adventure activities (when the weather cooperates) […]
How to Sample Iceland’s Most Famous Food: The Hot Dog
The hot dog is to Iceland what pizza is to Italy. If your mind jumped to the ballpark frank fished out of steamy water and slapped on a bun with some ketchup and mustard, think again. The Icelandic hot dog, officially called a pylsa, is – dare I say – the world’s best hot dog. […]

Les Cordeliers: The Bordeaux Sparkling Wine Made in the Champagne Method
There’s a magical place inside the medieval walls of Saint-Émilion. A place where vines climb the 14th century walls of a partially ruined cloister. A place that is more than meets the eye, with a labyrinth of underground tunnels stretching for 3 kilometers in the bowels of Saint-Émilion. It’s Les Cordeliers and that labyrinth beneath […]
The Perfect 3-Day Weekend in Oman’s Jebel Akhdar
In November 1986 a helicopter landed in the untouched wilderness of Jebel Akhdar, Oman. That helicopter delivered Diana, Princess of Wales and Prince Charles to an area of Oman that, at that time, was only accessible by donkey or foot. The royal couple spent six hours there with Prince Charles painting the canyon scene in […]
5 Musicals to See on Your Next Trip to London
Seeing a show on Broadway is a bucket list item for many, but London’s Theatreland (or West End) can definitely give the Big Apple a run for its money. And London’s relationship with theater stretches back far before the United States even became a country, to when the first permanent public playhouse was built in […]
The Best Places to Stay in Biarritz and Pays Basque
The Pays Basque, or French Basque Country, is hardly a secret. The French and Spanish have long known appeal of this little heart shaped piece of land nestled between the sea and the mountains. But it’s not on the radar of most Americans…yet. We’ve only recently had the pleasure of discovering it ourselves as we […]
