Es el laboratorio de ideas de Nueva York. Donde la contracultura se desparrama por las calles.Donde lo transgresor y lo divertido se unen. Donde las corrientes artísticas surgen. Donde caminan los coolhunters en busca del Street style del momento. Así es Williamsburg, dentro de Brooklyn, separado del Lower East Side de Manhattan por un puente que no es demasiado bonito pero tiene su encanto industrial. El barrio se puso de moda cuando jóvenes artistas se vieron obligados a a

Ohh, are you new to this very concept called yacht charter trip? Is it? Then we ought to start our discussion right from the beginning.

While it needs a great deal of discussion to make you understand, in simple words, yacht charter trip is where you will spend your vacation amidst the huge ocean in a boat or a yacht or a gulet. Awesome isn’t it? Definitely!

But since you are on a holiday and that too in the middle of a giant ocean, it is wise that you follow certain safety travel trips. Though it

Price does matter—for nuance. 

I have found many wines under $20 a bottle that I enjoy, but, when it comes to that WOW bottle, price, within reason, can pay off.  You really do, often, get what you pay for.  But, like many things—it only matters to a point—a wine that is just over the line may well satisfy more than an incrementally more expensive bottle.

Raised in exceptional locales, sometimes cooled by ocean fogs, other times baking in the sun, exceptional handcrafted wines always

When Massi Devoto used to guide small groups around Costa Rica, he noticed that out of all of the experiences the tourists shared, the ones they enjoyed and talked about the most were the simplest. Buying tropical fruits at a roadside stand. Watching a monkey in a tree. Meeting friendly folk in a rural town. Walking through the rainforest.

The realization led him to start his own tour company in 1999 with his associate, Ronald Bottger, with the goal to combine adventure and the natural attraction

 Old Parish Church Cemetery in Whitby, England

My obsession to travel to every site related to either the fictional Count Dracula or his real historical counterpart, Prince Vlad Dracula the Impaler, grew out of a visit to Whitby, England, where part of the novel Dracula takes place.  I stood on the cemetery hill (top) where, in Bram Stoker's Dracula Lucy Westenra and Mina Murray spent hour after hour sitting on their "favourite seat" (a bench placed over a suicide's grave near the edge of the c

Where can you get a varied, perfectly seasoned, five course rustic Italian meal with great wines and original cocktails in San Diego?  Pizzeria Mozza fits that bill.           

Pizzeria Mozza, sits on the western end of San Diego’s Headquarter’s, a rebirth of the historic San Diego Police Department Headquarters, built in 1939.  After 28 years in limbo, it is now on the national registry of historic places, with buildings and an open air plaza at the entrance to Seaport Village.  The Headquarters

4 Game Drive, Pick up Nairobi and Drop off Nairobi. Stop over at Riftvalley Viewpoint for breathe-taking photographs of the great riftvalley Picnic lunch at the Mara River seeing the crocodiles and hippos.

Day 1: Nairobi - Masai Mara Game Reserve
This morning we drive through the dramatic Great Rift Valley to the Masai Mara National Reserve. This enormous reserve is actually part of the vast Serengeti plains famously known for its spectacular great wildebeest’s migration and is home of the Big Fiv

Here, heritage lives. It is revered and celebrated. It embodies not just the culture and the traditions of the land, but epitomises a way of life. It is a source of pride and forms the crux of many conversations. The grandeur takes you by surprise, the intricacy holds you in awe and the legends leave you spellbound. This is heritage country, Nepal.

Nepal, with more than 60 linguistic groups, has always nurtured the reputation of being a country of contrasts, where gods and mortals live together.

When we picture the Rhine, we see castles and vine-covered hills. However, the river is more than that; it’s an “urban lifeline” passing through the high-quality-of-life state of North Rhine-Westphalia, and connecting the towns of Bonn, Cologne and Düsseldorf. Impressively, Dusseldorf ranked No. 6 on a list of high-quality places to live. See what these these hidden gems have to offer.

This is probably one of the nicest 3-star hotels in the area. The hotel is a small, traditional property but cosy and of very good standards, situated in the heart of London. The bedrooms are small but functional and in good condition. They are decorated in blues and creams, with classic light wood furniture. The bathrooms are also in good condition. The restaurant is a key feature of this hotel, having plenty of ornate period features, large windows and in superb decorative condition. The unusu

Mount Kenya is Africa’s second highest mountain at 5,199m and the highest of all Kenya Mountains. Mount Kenya is roughly circular, about 60km across at the 200mm contour, where the steep font hills rise out of the gentler slopes of the centered highlands.

Walking through the Costa Rica rainforest in rainy season is the time to hear frogs: calling, croaking, barking, whistling, tinkling, trilling and making all manner of loud sounds.

Why are they so noisy? The quick answer is to attract a mate, and to defend a territory – especially in breeding season. In an evergreen rainforest, newly formed ponds, puddles and pools erupt into a cacophony of several species of frogs all calling and competing at the same time for mates.

The tropics hold many such na
