Iceland is hardly off-the-beaten-path these days. Eyjafjallajökull‘s 2010 air-traffic-halting eruption may have wreaked havoc, but it also put Iceland on the map and on most travelers’ bucket lists. These days Iceland is more accessible than ever with the near constant addition of new routes and the Icelandair Stopover program makes it hard to resit exploring […]
Eating Our Way Around Ljubljana on a Ljubljananjam Food Tour
There’s are always two things I’m rather adamant about when traveling. First, when Tim and I are on the hunt for a restaurant, I’m always saying we need to go over at least one street from the main tourist drags. Second, food tours are an excellent way of discovering a city and I mean both […]
Poveglia: The Haunted Island in the Venetian Lagoon
You can’t live in Venice, or as close to Venice as we do, without hearing the tall tales of the island Italians claim is the most haunted in the world. Poveglia, a island that can be compared to the size of the Sheep’s Meadow in Central Park or half of Navy Pier in Chicago, is […]
The River Cruise for Wine Lovers
I didn’t love the ocean cruise we’ve been on, but when Viking River Cruises invited me to explore Bordeaux on their Chateaux, Rivers and Wine cruise, the allure of all the French Bordeaux wine I’d no doubt be sipping convinced me to give river cruising a try. The verdict? I absolutely loved my Bordeaux Viking […]
How To Travel Like James Bond
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 […]
Skiing at Austria’s Stubai Glacier
With so many ski resorts to choose from in Austria, why choose Stubai? The Stubai Glacier is the largest glacier ski resort in Austria and it has one of the longest open seasons in all of Europe, with guaranteed snow from late October until June. If you’re planning a ski trip early in the season, […]
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, […]
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 […]
