Lyon, France’s third largest city, is a sprawling city at the confluence of the Rhône and the Saône rivers. Made up of nine arrondissements (neighborhoods), it’s a city that is really worthy of at least a few days on your France itinerary to explore. But if you only have one day there on your Criver […]

The Ancient Ritual of Panevin
Christmas may be over in most of the rest of the world, but the Christmas season in Italy doesn’t officially end until the Epiphany on January 6th. Here it’s not Santa Claus (Babbo Natale in Italian) that brings gifts on Christmas Eve; instead it’s an old witch called La Befana who arrives on her broomstick […]
Poffabro Presepi: An Italian Christmas Tradition
Nestled in the Val Colvera in the foothills of the Carnian Alps lies a charming little hamlet called Poffabro. A hamlet this small with its population of just 181 wouldn’t normally register on most visitors to the Friuli Venezia Giulia‘s itinerary, but for one month each Christmas seasons people come from far and wide.

Exploring Iceland’s Westfjords
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.

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 […]
