Sadly, I´ve not yet been to Senegal, but I have had the pleasure of enjoying its cuisine on various occasions during my visits to Paris, home to dozens of Senegalese restaurants like the highly rated Chez Zeyna, Le Khelkom, Les Marmites de Fa, and Le Sunugal.

La cuisine sénégalaise is considered West Africa’s most refined and influential food traditions, fueled by fresh local ingredients and balancing bold seasoning with comforting, slow-cooked depth.

The cuisine relies heavily on

Planespotters Are a Dedicated Tribe Apart

9881788652?profile=RESIZE_710xencrier

 

Aviation geeks (more punchily known as avgeeks) are of course folks who are obsessed with aircraft – commercial, military, and otherwise – and who can to a greater or lesser extent quote you chapter and verse on many aspects of mechanical flight, especially when it comes to commercial airlines.

My 3 Favorite Things to Visit in Milan

798px-Milan_Cathedral_from_Piazza_del_Duomo.jpg?profile=RESIZE_710xJiuguang Wang

Italy's business capital is also famously one of the world's top three fashion hubs. But for non-fashionista visitors, Milan may be less of a tourist magnet than the likes of Rome, Florence, or Venice, but still impresses with its culture, its dining, its nightlife, its shopping (of course), and a number of wonderful landmarks and attractions - several unique to the city. So I'm offering up three of my favorite spots to really get a sense of the history of Milan and its surrounding

3 Cool Things to Do in Missouri

main-street-lake-cruises.jpg?profile=RESIZE_710x


A Midwestern state between Kansas and Kentucky, Missouri is covered in grassy levels that go for miles that comparison versus the high tops of the Ozark Mountains. A number of cities populate Missouri and are full of fantastic attractions, like the National World War I Museum in Kansas City, or the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. Nevertheless, there is plenty of nature to balance out the city bustle, such as stunning state parks and other hideaways among the many things to do in Missouri. Here are t

Discovering Fascinating Havana, Cuba

L2F-June-15-Cuba-Havana-Morro-Malec%C3%B3n-old-car-lazyllama-shutterstock_279160181.jpg?width=1000

For those of you who haven’t visited this city of just over two million residents, I highly recommend you put it on your bucket list, because it’s an experience like no other in the world. 

Once known as the “Paris of the Caribbean” thanks to its impressive architecture, culture, and general atmosphere, Havana today still remains one of a kind in the entire world, its urban allures mixing with an earthy, informal vibe as well as a vibrant arts and music scene. And thanks to an almost total ab

Who would have thought when I moved from Portland, Oregon, (home of amazing Pinot Noirs) to Southern California, I would be sitting in the backyard of a Cape Cod next to a pool at a long, umbrella-covered table in the quaint Floral Park neighborhood of Orange County's Santa Ana at the beginning of December sampling Oregon Pinot Noirs. Life couldn’t get much better.

A group of writers with IFWTWA (International Food, Wine & Travel Writers Association) were guests at the Southern California home

Navigating London’s 'Theatreland'

Even though many people who come to London take in a show, many more forget "Theatreland" is there. Don't believe me?

Those on a business trip to London don’t consider it, yet a night at the theatre is a great way to spend a spare evening on your own or entertaining a business customer that you may not know too well.

Newlyweds don't think about it, but what can be more romantic than seeing a top West End show with your beautiful new wife or handsome husband?

And budget travellers don't but surprisi

Rhum, the Spirit of Guadeloupe

9008884060?profile=original
Somewhere in the Caribbean between Puerto Rico and St Lucia is the archipelago of Guadeloupe (pronounce gwa-day-LOOP). The French West Indies or French Caribbean are currently comprised of two territories (St Barthélemy aka St Barth and St Martin) and two overseas states -“départements” in French (Guadeloupe along with Martinique). The French West Indies have always looked towards the old continent rather towards their Caribbean neighbors. Flying from the USA, a long journey and a couple of con

Creating Unique Forms of Tourism

People travel for many reasons. Some travel for business, others travel for a sense of adventure or for relaxation.  Leisure travel only succeeds if it provides two essential elements (1) the travel experience must offer something that the visitor cannot obtain at home and (2) the travel experience must provide memories. In fact, we can postulate that the travel and tourism business sells memories. Globalization has done many wonderful things not only for people in general but also for the trave

De 'Traboules' por Lyon

Traboule-Lyon.jpg?width=640

Muerte al GPS. Al igual que en las medinas de las ciudades árabes, lo mejor que le puede pasar en Lyon es que se pierda. Si se desorienta y aunque mire el mapa no sabe dónde se encuentra, no se preocupe. Eche a caminar y dará con rincones especiales de esos que no vienen en las guías. La tercera ciudad más poblada de Francia está repleta de callejones, como los famosos traboules, pasadizos que conectan una calle con otra a través de los patios de los edificios. Uno de los más famosos es el de la

Come to Hanoi

Before being named “Hanoi” as present, the capital had had several names throughout history. In 1010, Ly Thai To, the first ruler of the Ly Dynasty, moved the capital of Đại Việt (the Great Viet) to the site of the Đại La Citadel. Claiming to have seen a dragon ascending the Red River, he renamed it Thăng Long (Ascending Dragon) - a name still used poetically to this day with the belief that this was good omen of the country’s future. It remained the capital of Vietnam until 1397, when the capit

Protecting Tourism 'Soft Targets'

With the onset of the summer travel season in much of the world June is a good time to ask ourselves how well we are protecting our tourism sites.  Airlines and other forms of transportation have the advantage that they received government security.  Most other forms of tourism, such as hotels, restaurants, shopping centers, and major attractions such as theme parks receive little or no government security or protection.  In most cases, the tourism industry can depend on no one but itself.

Vienna Travel: ‘I am trying to convince a group of friends to visit Vienna Austria. We are planning our annual city trip. My friends love the good things in life and like culture. Which tips would win them over for a Vienna city break?’, my ex boss recently asked an unusually simple question.

I can actually write a book about the answer. Here are my key winning arguments that will provide the final kick to any culture traveler for visiting my hometown.

A random drive along First Neck Lane in fabled Southampton, Long Island, New York brings you very close to gorgeous homes with endless driveways,  selling for 20 to 80 million dollars, and that's in a depressed housing  market.

But a few feet away is the Southampton Inn  an attractive, Tudor Style complex that happens to be a very family friendly place with subdued class.

William and Kate’s Guide to London

Prince-William-%2526-Kate-Middl.jpg
Prince Charles and Lady Diana’s wedding in 1981 was as much of a landmark event as the Moon Landing, everyone remembers where they were when the shy young girl married the stiff heir to the British throne (and whether or not they thought the union would last).
This year, it’s their elder son’s turn down the aisle, as the most eligible royal bachelor in the world—Prince William, marries his long-term girlfriend, “Waity” Kate Middleton, at Westminster Abbey on April 29. British tourism chiefs expec
