Now is the best time to start planning a quick getaway in sunny Portugal. June is already the beginning of the high season, but still not plagued with the crowds of July and August, making it the perfect time for an escapade in southern lands. And least you should think that there's nothing more to be found in this lovely country other than beautiful beaches, let me prove you wrong.

Connecting poverty eradication and environmental sustainability is the "make or break" for the world's future, according to the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). In this realm, small countries such as Costa Rica can rise to be world leaders.

Visitors to Costa Rica’s northwest Guanacaste region probably don’t realize the area was once a thriving community for the indigenous Chorotega tribe. Indigenous history and traditions maintain a low profile in the Central American country, yet if you look closely they are all around you.
Spreading across Costa Rica’s entire northern Pacific zone, Guanacaste, for instance, is called the “Chorotega region” after its original inhabitants. The Nicoya Peninsula is named for a Chorotega chief who rule

I love my husband and we are truly best friends but when we get into one of our arguments about something meaningless in a “drive me crazy” kind of way; I need to head for the hills.
Let me clarify:
I need a “Marriage Travel Time Out”.
I need to take a trip somewhere far and away from everything that relates to my routine life and get to know myself a little better as one instead of two.
Many of our friends have split up and it’s confusing and complicated. It’s hurtful and it’s life changing and th

Would you be happier living in a greener area?
A UK study says you would. New research from the University of Exeter Medical School and the European Centre for Environment & Human Health in England has found that "people living in urban areas with more green space tend to report greater well-being than city dwellers that don't have parks, gardens, or other green space nearby." The research, led by Dr. Mathew White, was published in the journal Psychological Science.
One of my favorite ways to get the lay of the land while traveling is to go walking and one of the things I love about San Francisco is that it is a great walking town. There are so many places you can reach without ever getting into a car. It is a great place to get in your daily exercise without resorting to the hotel's workout facility just by sightseeing.
Here are a couple of my favorite running/walking routes. Whether you are staying in the Union Square area or south of Market (where most
