We don’t typically play favorites when it comes to UNESCO World Heritage Sites; they’re all import and culturally significant. But to be completely honest, sometimes they’re also a bit boring and museum-like. And if you’re a regular reader here, you know that standing behind a rope just to have a look-see typically isn’t our thing. […]
15 Reasons to Go to Friuli Venezia Giulia Right Now
Everyone knows any Italy itinerary should include visits Rome, Florence, and Venice. You might even know some of Italy’s “off-the-beaten-path” (that really aren’t so off-the-beaten-path anymore) destinations like San Gimignano, Bologna, and Cinque Terre.

Massif des Aravis Ski Getaway
A secret the French have long kept to themselves, the four linked villages that make up Massif des Aravis are destined to be discovered. The pretty, rustic French villages of the Haute-Savoie where the velvety Reblochon cheese has been produced for centuries seep charm and one ski pass covers some 150 pistes no more than […]
France’s Ardeche is for Adventurers
Mention the South of France and I know I immediately picture the yachts moored at the most exclusive beach clubs in St. Tropez and haute couture on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival. But the South of France isn’t all yacht parties and champagne until the wee hours. The Ardeche has a decidedly […]
Why Abisko is the Best Place in Europe to See Northern Lights
We frequently receive emails, to the tune of several each week, asking where the best place in Europe to see Northern Lights is.
