Located in the southern region by the Osa Peninsula, the 31-mile-long (50 km) gulf of Golfo Dulce is recognized by National Geographic as one of only four tropical fjords in the world, and it is the tenth deepest.

Not all that long ago, Colombia’s second largest metro area was sadly synonymous with rampant drug-related violence, the notorious narco-lord Pablo Escobar, and the Medellín Cartel. This new century, though, has seen a remarkable renaissance – noted throughout the world - that has left all that a receding memory (except maybe for a few tours that focus on the sites and stories of the bad old days). These days, as I have discovered on three visits – I truly can’t seem to get e

How do you find out about all the hidden neighborhoods and history of a city? Three of us writers had a short time in the city of Milwaukee and wanted to savor as much as we could of the ethnic neighborhoods, architecture, and history.  We contacted Theresa Nemetz of Milwaukee Food and City Tours, who offered us a flavor of what one of their many tours showcased of the city.

Since our time was so limited, she suggested a brief tour of Brady Street, one of the oldest neighborhoods, original

Like migratory birds, more than 70 eminent authors and thinkers from across the globe just gathered in London this past May 20-21 for what has become an annual fixture, the Jaipur Literature Festival. The venue was different this year, because its traditional base at the Southbank centre had been taken over by the Karachi Literary Festival in what looked like a case of one-upmanship. So this year's gathering took place at the British Library, which was certainly an appropriate alternative venue

Legendary Jerusalem! The ancient city holy to Christians, Jews and Muslims alike is also an irresistible magnet for history, archaeology, and culture vultures the world over. Furthermore, it’s a fascinating and highly photogenic mix of ancient, merely old, and cutting-edge, with world-class hotels, myriad dining options and life-changing sights and experiences around every corner.

The first step in exploring Jerusalem is a visit to the Old City, where the Western

New Hampshire is synonymous with classic country inns, each reflecting their distinct personalities shaped by topography, property history, and innkeepers. Adair Country Inn & Restaurant, situated within the borders of White Mountain National Park in Bethlehem, is a perfect example surrounded by its very own 200-plus acres of meadow and forest land interlaced with a network of old carriage roads and hiking trails.

The magnificent, three-story Georgian Revival home you see today was built in 1927

In school, U.S. kids still learn the patriotic poem connected to the battle of Concord and Lexington, Massachusetts that begins, “Listen, my children, and you shall hear, of the midnight ride of Paul Revere...” And on this long weekend of their country’s Independence Day, today, many of their families are taking the opportunity to explore their country’s founding by including in their holiday plans this and other of the sites of key events in its War of Independence from Great Brit

It’s summer - time to be outside enjoying everything nature has to offer! Time for a vacation where you can disconnect in nature and slow down from the fast pace of daily life.

“Nature offers one of the most reliable boosts to your mental and physical well-being,” reports Business Insider.

Hey, can you by any chance name a Danish city outside of Copenhagen? Most likely not. Your loss, really, because Denmark's second largest, for example, is a truly charming bit of business called Aarhus, (pop. 265,000, larger metro area 330,000), on the coast of the Jutland peninsula a three-hour drive (or three-and-a-half-hour train ride) from the capital. So charming - and cultured, in fact - that it's been named a European Capital of Culture for 2017.

One of the world’s most romantic and dramatic ancient archaeological sites, Peru’s spectacularly sited “lost city of the Incas” (though in reality an elaborate estate of 15th-century Incan emperor Pachacutec) up in the Andes a three-hour train ride from Cuzco, has become so popular that in effect it’s being loved to death. With an average of more than 3,300 visitors per day in recent years, its hundreds of terraces, pathways, plazas, and buildings spread over 125 square miles (325

As I unpacked my bags in my well-appointed room at the luxurious CasaMagna Marriott Puerto Vallarta & Spa, my eyes wandered towards the view of lush landscape and rolling waves of the Pacific. My thoughts were of all the experiences awaiting me for the next five days.

My trip proved to be amazing, and I want to share some of the exciting adventures I had.

Greece witnessed its biggest tourist season ever in 2015, with more than 25 million tourists proving, that this southern European country remains a welcoming and safe place to enjoy a sailing holiday.

The best way to experience Greece is on a sailing holiday, exploring ancient ruins and sampling traditional meze at waterside tavernas. With over 8,000 miles of Mediterranean coastline and more than 2,000 islands to explore, what better way to do this than by taking the helm of a beautiful Greek b

There’s evidence of this stealing of mountains all over Snowdonia National Park in northwest Wales. Where they haven’t carved the mountain out, and exported it all over the world, the slopes are littered with the stuff they didn’t want.

After Europe and the USA, significant chunks of Latin America have seen, despite the traditionally conservative nature of Latin society, the greatest world advancement in LGBTQ acceptance and rights – even including the freedom to marry in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, and Uruguay.

A top beach town on Malaysia's Langkawi Peninsula, Pantai Tengah has many restaurants, clubs and resorts, but does not boast many shopping opportunities apart from a small complex which houses a number of souvenir outlets situated along the beach strip. While duty-free shops in Langkawi are well-frequented for their cheap chocolates, cosmetics, and liquor, handmade souvenirs, Knick knacks and handicrafts still remain relatively pricey.

Traveling in Malaysia is quite convenient since it has some
