Wat Rong Khun, known outside of Thailand simply as The White Temple, is a strangely beautiful place. Built by the famous Thai Buddhist painter-turned-architecht and millionaire Chalermchai Kositpipat, the temple is completely funded by Kositpipat’s own money in order to bring his vision to life. Construction began in 1996 and still continues, though Kositpipat will […]
The Long Neck Karen Hill Tribe
The Long Neck Karen are a tribe of women that are refugees from Burma living in the northern Thai hills. Mistreated in their own country, they fled to Thailand where they earn an income from tourism and an education for their children in Thai schools. Some say it is unethical to visit these hill tribes […]
Elephant Encounters at Anantara Golden Triangle
Located in the lush jungle, Anantara Golden Triangle is perched on a hill overlooking the Mekong River and the mountains where Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos converge. You won’t hear the honking of motorbikes and tuk tuks here; instead, the jungle is filled with the sounds of elephants trumpeting, birds singing, and geckos chirping. The trumpeting […]

Central Park Under Snow
Snowfall in NYC is rare. The city has an average of just two days of snowfall in December and four in January. Actual accumulation is even more rare. While the storm that hit the East Coast disrupted air travel, I was already safely on the ground in Manhattan and enjoying not one, but two days […]
The Legend of the Saks Yeti
Each December Manhattan’s biggest department stores reveal their unique holiday window displays. After checking out the holiday window displays at all the biggies from Bloomies to Macy’s, I’m officially declaring my favorite of 2013 is Saks Fifth Avenue! The Legend of the Saks Yeti is told through six animated display windows and a 3D light […]
Romantic Rothenburg’s Reiterlesmarkt
Red-tiled roofs on crooked half-timbered houses. Horse carriages that clippity-clop over the cobblestone streets. Stone walls studded with 42 towers. This is Rothenburg ob der Tauber, a Medieval town that looks like it could be straight out of a movie. I imagine that the town is enchanting any time of the year, but with Christmas […]
