I recently had the opportunity to visit Vall de Nuria in the Girona Pyrenees, a lovely natural setting with lots of fun outdoor activities and warm hospitality. As I ascended the Pyrenees via rack railway on my way to Vall de Nuria, majestic mountain valleys featuring waterfalls and walking trails gave way to a heavenly [...]
Cesky Krumlov in the Czech Republic is a picturesque medieval town that dates back to the 13th century and is straight out of a fairytale. Its name means ‘crooked meadow’ which is befitting as the town is nestled in a sharp bend of the Vltava River. It also comes complete with a castle on a [...]
I have seen some very unique signs throughout my travels, some of which were entertaining and funny, some of which freaked me out and some of which were just down right strange and perhaps more distracting than helpful. During my travels around South Africa, I captured some interesting travel photos of quite a few unique [...]
Recently, I stumbled upon the fact that October 25 is World Pasta Day: a day to celebrate one of the world’s favorite foods. Pasta is convenient and easy to make, yet it can be so varied. Not only can pasta be accompanied by many different sauces, but the pasta itself can vary greatly in shape [...]
Over the years, the area around Champs-Elysées in Paris has gained the reputation of being a tourist trap. It even seems as though true Parisians look down upon this part of town and avoid going anywhere near it. Au Contraire, Mon Frère! In recent years, a couple of nice places have opened in this area [...]

Casanova or the Bridge of Sighs (Ponte dei Sospiri) adds to the mystic and romantic reputation of Venice. To this [...]
One of my first stops during a recent trip to the Girona Pyrenees was in the small, captivating town of Puigcerda in Cerdanya. Located in the eastern Pyrenees, which is divided between France and Spain, Puigcerda is approximately a two hour drive from Barcelona. Inviting and colorful outdoor cafes line parts of Santa Maria Square [...]
The Spanish enclave of Llivia is unique in many ways, not least being that it is part of Catalonia yet completely surrounded by France. One of Llivia’s most unique residents is Fabian Martin, a former world class boxer whose Taller Pizzeria has revolutionized the traditional concept of pizza. Fabian Martin’s entrance into the pizza world [...]
Without even mentioning the innumerable sights and monuments of Rome, most people already consider the Eternal City to be a true cultural treasure chest. Of course, the appeal of these treasures is one of the major reasons visitors opt to stay in Rome apartments. It can be argued that the downside of a vacation filled [...]
This past week, while in Cerdanya (a region of the eastern Pyrenees which is divided between France and Spain), I had the opportunity to head up in a small plane for a spectacular scenic look at the beautiful landscape of the Cadi mountain range and the Pyrenees. My flight from La Cerdanya Aerodrome took me [...]
After awaking at the crack of dawn, I walked outside my hotel on a crisp, clear morning and saw the stars shining as bright as I have ever seen them shine. I could not get the song ‘Up, Up and Away’ by The 5th Dimension out of my head. As a kid, I remember hearing [...]
After making the decision to live in another country, I started to think about where I would like to live if I were to move to Germany. Berlin was definitely among my top choices. The dynamic of the city is great and is constantly evolving. Some close friends of mine live in Berlin, so I [...]
