Paris Walks

They say it can take anywhere from four to nine months to visit the entire art collection at the Louvre.

And that’s just one museum!

But don’t let that get you down.  Even if you don’t have months to tackle all the museums and historic landmarks in Paris, you can still see most of it in on a Paris walking tour.

And the best part…

Most landmarks are outside… so you can glimpse down a courtyard, gate, or unassuming alley to discover Paris’s best kept secrets.

On this Paris walking tour, you’ll discover Paris’s best highlights and neighborhoods…

Hiking in Liechtenstein

Hiking in Liechtenstein

Liechtenstein is one of those rare countries in the world that you could pass right through it without even noticing.  But not because it isn’t beautiful.  It’s actually a country with incredible and unspoiled alpine scenery.  Yet, it doesn’t have a noticeable border and it’s tiny.

So small you could walk across it in several hours. Which is exactly what you should do.Continue

Weekend in the Mullerthal Region, Luxemburg

By Leave a Comment
Mullerthal Region, Luxemburg

Luxemburg is impossibly beautiful. Starting in the capital city and radiating out in all directions, it gives the visitor a feeling of being in a fantasy world where river nymphs and fairies can found not far from where cupid and his well aimed arrows are waiting in the trees.

Nowhere is this feeling more prevalent than in the Mullerthal Region, a place they call “Little Switzerland,” and a spot that is just magic. Continue

Luxembourg City, Luxembourg

It’s wealth is so subtle you would never know it. There are no high-rise buildings and no massive development. Yet, leave no doubt, Luxembourg is a patrician amongst aristocrats. What you find in her city is the very definition of charm and modesty.

Clean streets, flawlessly manicured lawns, castles that retain their antiqueness yet are in perfect condition and a feeling that it was all done effortlessly. Luxembourg is a wonder to behold. Continue

Walk the Great Wall; China

Imagine stepping foot on 2,000 year old crumbling ramparts that stretch 5,000 miles (8,000 km) into the distance. Taking a walk on the Great Wall of China features high on most people’s list of 1,001 things to do before they die.

Summer of Salt; Salt Lake City, Utah

By Leave a Comment
Salt Lake City, Utah

It’s like the surface of Venus, barren and haunting.

Even the most resilient plants and animals can’t live there. It’s a snow white wasteland of salt and sky covering a vast area of northwestern Utah.  Adding to the eerie atmosphere is the utterly flat and smooth landscape, so flat that they say you can see the Earth’s curvature.

Is it true?

You will have to see for yourself…Continue

Nara, Japan

To find an iconic image of Japan one needn’t look any further than the cherry blossom.  Every spring the pink petals of this treasured flower announce to us the passing of winter and the arrival of spring.  With a short blooming season, it takes a well-timed trip to Japan to capture the blossoms in their resplendent state.

While cherry blossoms can be found throughout Japan and beyond borders internationally, one of the best places to witness these national treasures is in Nara.

Europe’s Secret Gem; San Marino

By Leave a Comment
San Marino

It’s a country within a country. A tiny enclave on a hill surrounded on all sides by the historical and cultural might of Italy. Although it is less than a tenth of the size of New York City, The Republic of San Marino packs a big punch.

History of San Marino

San Marino is the oldest republic in Europe, having been established as an autonomous state in 301AD. Located in central Italy, it is the third smallest country in Europe after the Vatican and Monaco, with a total land area of 23 square miles (61 sq km). Though less than 30,000 people live in the country, it receives more than 3.5 million visitors per year.

Museum Tour; San Francisco, California

There is no city on Earth like it. The city by the bay has fascinated travelers for more than 200 years, lauded for its natural beauty, pioneering mentality, liberal views and ethnic tolerance. The mass waves of immigration, the beat generation, the hippie revolution, the Summer of Love, gay rights and the dot-com boom also gave birth to an artistic movement that can be seen in the myriad museums around the city.

From fine art to multimedia, the city’s rich collection of world-class museums give visitors to San Francisco a taste of its history, culture and the essence of a city. It’s the perfect way to spend a foggy day.Continue

Sacred Monasteries; Meteoras, Greece

Sacred Monasteries; Meteoras, Greece

To lay eyes upon them for the first time is surreal. Even after you squint and rub your eyes, you’ll still question if you’re seeing things properly.

The Meteoras, which translates to “suspended in the air,” are astounding pillars of towering sandstone rock that resemble an arm punching through the flat plains, as if reaching for the heavens. And to top it off (literally),  daring monks chose to build their monasteries at the tip-pity top, as if suspended in thin air. Continue

A Walking Tour of the City of Montreal

By Leave a Comment
Montreal, Canada

Sure, Ottawa might be the capital… but for many Montreal remains the liveliest, most exciting city in Canada. It’s a first-rate city with a notable list of seconds: Montreal is the second largest city in the second largest country in the world and is the second largest French-speaking city in the world (behind Paris).

But make no mistake: Montreal is first in many Canadians – and foreigners – hearts.

For many, Vieux Montreal (aka Old Montreal) is what people come here for: cobblestone streets, small Parisian style cafes, 17th century architecture, art galleries, museums and the waterfront. Street performers, artists, a thriving gay scene and some of Canada’s finest cuisine make Old Montreal a great place to eat, drink, explore and dance. Continue

Sailing the Isles, Faroe Islands

Sailing the Isles, Faroe Islands

The Faroe Islands are a place where you might see a goat chewing the grass off the roof of a local house while the owner is lazily talking on the cell phone. The contrast between modern and traditional life there is stark. The remote location, severe weather and extreme living conditions have left the Faroes wild and natural.

Nowhere is this wild nature more apparent than on the coasts, where walls of towering cliffs surge toward the skies while waves crash against the rocks and birds cling to ledges. That rough and windswept environment is best seen from the deck of a boat.Continue

Smorgasbord in Stockholm, Sweden

Smorgasbord in Stockholm, Sweden

In some countries, food is a stylized art form.

In others, like those in the frozen north, it’s a matter of survival. This doesn’t mean a country like Sweden is without taste. On the contrary, it’s bursting with culinary innovation. When you only have a small harvest window, you need to be creative.

Without doubt, Sweden is a meat-and-potatoes culture, but the story does not end there. The smorgåsbord alone is a telling of the rich and diverse offering of the Swedish table.Continue

Huang Shan; Anhui, China

Imagine standing above the clouds with a deep chasm below and 100 million year old granite peaks and ancient crooked pine trees surrounding you. Straight out of a Chinese scroll painting, the scenery up the Huang Shun mountain range in eastern China’s Anhui Province is exhilarating.
