If you’ve been to Rome, you’ve probably tossed a coin into the Trevi Fountain like thousands of other visitors do every single day. The tradition gained popularity after it was the theme of the 1954 romantic comedy Three Coins in the Fountain, but it started long before the movie. Originally, it was said that a […]
Castelvecchio: The Friuli Winery That Was Once a WWI Battleground
We seemingly find ourselves at a lot of wineries steeped in history, like Faust Wine Cellar in the vast labyrinth system beneath Buda Castle that served as escape routes in the middle ages. But World War I and World War II history feels like current history and Azienda Agricola Castelvecchio Winery served as a glorious […]
Schiopetto Leads the Italian Whites
We drove up the winding road through rolling green hills and vineyards stretching as far as the eye could see to Azienda Agricola Mario Schiopetto, one of the Friuli Venezia Giulia’s leading wineries. Located in the Capriva del Friuli, Schiopetto is also one of the Collio’s historical wineries. Mario Schiopetto started producing highly controversial wines […]

Wine Wednesday: Dutch Wine
As wine lovers, one of our favorite things to do is seek out unique wines or wine-related experiences. So imagine my excitement when I learned that The Netherlands produces Dutch wine! There are actually over 200 vineyards in The Netherlands, though most producers are very small and make wine as a hobby. I visited Wijnhoeve […]
Flying High at the Sinsheim Car and Technology Museum
I was driving back to Italy last week and drove by a museum in Sinsheim, Germany and was immediately interested when they had a Concorde on the roof of it. It just happened I was headed back to Germany the next week, so I made a point to plan my drive up so I could […]
A Humbling Visit to Dachau Concentration Camp
We’ve driven by the sign for Dachau Concentration Camp numerous time over the four years we’ve lived in Europe. Usually we are on the way to and from somewhere when the camp is closed. Well, I made a point this trip to plan my day so I could visit Dachau. All was going well this […]
The Best Little Swedish Village You Never Heard Of
In Lapland, the Torne River divides (or in the winter, unites) Finland and Sweden. The villages of Kukkola lay on both sides of the Tome River: Kukkola, Finland and Kukkolaforsen, Sweden.
