We called a tiny town just north of Venice home for over seven years, yet we hardly ever wrote about the place we came to know like the back of our hands. For travel writers like us, it’s easy to forget that what is in your own backyard is sometimes a place people save up […]
The Perfect 3-Days in Creuse, France
The Creuse is a region we’d be willing to bet you’ve not heard of. Located almost as though you dropped a pin in the very center of France, it’s nearly an equal distance from Bordeaux, Paris and Lyon. With a population of more cows than people, France’s Creuse is the perfect destination to get outdoors […]
Bordeaux in 365 Bottles: March – July 2020
I’ve almost hit publish on this post every month since the beginning of April, only to feel scared people would think I was whining. So I’d just save it in the drafts and revisit as the next month rolled around, before continuing to remain silent. Now here we are as August arrived. COVID-19 is still […]
A Local’s Guide to the Top Things to Do in Bordeaux
The fact that Bordeaux is like Mecca for wine lovers is certainly what drew us to come visit this city and worship at the altar of some of the world’s best wines. But Bordeaux is more than just sipping Grand Cru Classé at châteaux; it’s a beautiful and compact city who’s been getting a shiny […]
The Best Places to Stay in Bordeaux
Bordeaux. If you’ve ever even so much as browsed the wine aisle at a grocery store, you no doubt know of Bordeaux wine. Bordeaux is also a city and as we’ve {surprisingly} learned since we moved here more than two years ago, one that many people don’t even know exists. We say surprisingly, but one […]
Le Lockdown: Living Through the Coronavirus Lockdown in France
What is there even to say? The world feels like its gone mad. China, Italy, Spain, now France – and many more to come – are in states of lockdown. Residents cannot leave their homes except for necessities like food and medicine. The phrase “social distancing” will no doubt be in Google’s annual Year in […]
Live Virtual Wine Tasting Experience
In Bordeaux, wine is a way of life. You don’t even have to be a wine drinker. This city was built on the wine trade and wine remains, to this day, an integral part of life in Bordeaux. Naturally, one of the things we miss most living in Bordeaux during this weird period of time […]
The Best Travel Books: True Stories to Armchair Travel Around the World
Some say that people travel to escape life. Well, I say those people are idiots. Travel is about living life. When I do want to escape, I pick up a book (technically I pick up my Kindle Paperwhite loaded with my library of eBooks, but you get the point). Books transport us to another time, […]
Longyearbyen: The World’s Northern Most City
Located at the top of the world, the Spitsbergen Archipelago situated between 74° and 81° north is truly a bucket list destination for adventurers. Somewhere between Norway and the North Pole, these islands are the epitome of raw, unspoiled wilderness. Snow-capped mountains give way to deep fjords. Massive ice sheets are home to the King […]
Loisaba Conservancy: The Kenya Wildlife Park That Needs to Be on Your Radar
Picture it. In the heart of Kenya just eight luxe tents sit perched on an escarpment overlooking the vast Laikipia plains in the shadow of snow-capped Mount Kenya. Down below, wart hogs chase each other around the watering hole. Giraffes munch on the leaves of thorny acacia trees. Elephant trumpets echo up to our tent […]
