When most people think of going to the Alps they immediately think of taking winter holidays, going skiing, enjoying the cold and the snow and seeing all of the beauty of the region in the wintertime. While it is true that this is a fantastic spot to visit in the winter for winter sports or just to visit, the summertime in the Alps opens up a whole host of other opportunities for you. There is just as much beauty in the region in the summertime and the outdoor adventure does not end in the winte

Lower-priced hotels have long been associated with worn and torn furniture, muzak-filled floors and an insecure environment. Smartly done-up rooms? Free Wi-Fi? Hot breakfast? In-room coffee-maker? All these were a big no-no until a few years back.

Now the budget motel business has entered a new era. Walk into a revamped property in Alamosa and what you find is smart accommodation. Less is more is what they promote. Of course, they dont have plush interiors, luxury settings but one thing that th

The whole purpose of a railway is to reduce the friction of the wheels, to enable a heavier load to be carried for the same amount of power. That lack of friction works against the train if it has a steep slope to climb or descend. The usual way is to tunnel through the hill, avoiding the slope altogether.

This, though, is very expensive, and, when they built the railway westward from Sydney in the 1860s, Engineer-in-Chief John Whitton did not have the money available to him to tunnel through A

When I stay at Pranamar Oceanfront Villas & Yoga Retreat in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, one of my favorite things to do is to swim in the giant tide pool down the beach about five minutes from the hotel.

The larger-than-Olympic-sized shallow sea water swimming pool is one of the best-kept secrets of the area. It is located between Pranamar Villas and “El Peñón,” or the big rock, where Santa Teresa Beach turns into Hermosa Beach – better known as “Playa Hermosa”. Since Santa Teresa and Playa Herm

Whether it be for business or for pleasure, or better yet, combining business and pleasure. I've always found that travel inspires me more than anything else in life. Nothing excites me more than to travel for business, only to discover new sightings that quickly turn into personal encounters. Evidence of the languages, cultures, scenery, food, style, design sensibilities that I discover all over the world can be found in every business venture that I have set out upon.

I always bring home a pi
