Gstaad – come up, slow down. The moment we set foot in this charming Swiss village that Julie Andrews has called “the last paradise in a crazy world,” the meaning of Gstaad’s slogan was immediately clear. Pine chalets topped with snow like icing on a cake, spectacular alpine views, and nary a sound but soft […]
Tips for Surviving Acqua Alta in Venice
Acqua Alta, which literally translates to high water, typically occurs in the winter months in Venice.

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 […]

Afternoon Tea at The Langham
Few things are more quintessentially British than afternoon tea, which dates back more than 150 years. It was, after all, Anna the 7th Duchess of Bedford that introduced afternoon tea.
