El estrés no va con Nueva Orleáns. Tampoco las hamburguesas XXL. Y no se utiliza el coche para ir a la esquina. The Big Easy, como la llaman los lugareños, tiene poco que ver con esas mega ciudades americanas enmarañadas en autopistas. Aquí se camina, se baila y se come marisco. Casi nada, ¿eh? Ubicada en el estado de Louisiana, en el llamado Deep South, acoge un centro histórico delicioso: el barrio francés, con balcones de hierro.
Muchas de las calles tienen letreros e

Melodious bubbling of the river below combines with the metallic “clink” of Common Tink Frogs and the hum of crickets to lull me to sleep. My soft, cushy bed in my modern, comfortable bungalow is just steps from the wild Costa Rican rainforest. I make out the dark outline of large vine-covered trees out the window, and sweet fragrances of night-blooming flowers drift through the room. This is jungle living!
I spent a recent weekend at Portasol Rainforest and Ocean View Community on Costa Rica’s C
Will Google harness its awesome search capacity, plus its Youtube, plus social indicators from a person's searches to make travel suggestions and shape travel experiences? And book travel too.
We say, yes. It says "yes," too.
It's widely accepted that travelers are seriously unhappy with online travel agents (OTA's) - the big-box airline ticket aggregators like Expedia and Priceline.
The reasons are obvious: OTA's are complex, complicated and have no flexibility to address a traveler's speci

| Happy Earth Day! While it goes without saying that we should engage in environmentally sound practices every single day of the year, April 22nd is a good day to pause and evaluate our habits, and consider how our daily activities - and our vacations - affect the planet. |  (click to enlarge) |
When it comes to travel, there's sometime a tendency to step away from our normal practices: to use more disposable items, to forget about recycling, to leave a bit larger footprint behind. And yet while we're tr |

Traveling to discover - the essence of adventure - is what I seek to capture with this idea.
It all started when I first learned, six years ago, that chilies were from South America, not, as I always assumed, Asia.
After I accepted that fact, which shook my worldview, I searched long and hard for a book that would tell this story. I wanted to know HOW this was possible. After all, there are similar books for Salt, Potatoes, Chocolate, even Apples, all of which I've now read.

Sierra Nevada represents the highest massif in Europe after the Alps, with Mulhacen at 3482m is the highest peak in the Iberian peninsular.

There is no shortage of niche travel labels out there – ecotourism, responsible travel, sustainable travel, ethical travel, experiential travel, mindful travel, real travel, good travel, pro-poor travel, community-based tourism, local travel etc. I suspect, though, that more than just a few of them are either meaningless or confusing to travel consumers. And we know that some of these labels have lost their potency as a result of unscrupulous entrepreneurs' false application of the terms (common
