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

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.
And then there there’s a subset of avgeeks who not only follow the industry avidly but who also spend as much of their free time as possible “on the hunt,” hunkered down for
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

If you’re a traveler, you know what the hardest thing about traveling is—choosing the destination! With so many amazing places all around the world, how can you just pick one? If money’s not a problem, you don’t have to choose, but most of us can only do one destination per trip, so picking wisely is important. So, if you’re stuck somewhere between Montreal and New York, here’s a little guide that might help you make your choice.

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
Perhaps best known as the venue of the annual Nobel Peace Prize (awarded each December 10), this gracious, attractive city (pop. 942,000/metro 1.7 million) has been voted one of the world’s most “liveable”, with a marvelous menu of historic/cultural sites, dining, and more. But today’s Norwegians in my experience tend to be mellow and not much prone to tooting their own Viking horns. What that means for visitors is a delightfully low-key but high-reward experience without the crowds you expect
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.

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
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
Over the past year, I've visited 8 different countries, half of which I paid for my flights using airmiles. Here are a few useful tips for building up your air mileage for free.
There are many ways to earn air miles for free, and some of the best ways don’t require you to change your buying habits at all. So let’s start off with the most lucrative option, credit cards.

The quickest way to build a massive portfolio of air miles is to open credit cards that offer an airmiles b
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
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
Call it fresh, celebratory wine or phony, immature “cookie dough” (as one critic nicely put it), there’s no doubt the young Beaujolais Nouveau has become one of the wine world’s most successful stories.
Last Thursday, precisely at one minute past midnight, thousands of barrels were festively breached with the traditional cry: Le Beaujolais nouveau est arrivé! Revelers across the globe gathered in bars and restaurants to celebrate the wine’s 60th anniversary. Before 1951, France didn’t allowed tIn February 2009, Martinique and its sister island Guadeloupe took an unaccustomed turn in the world's headlines with heated general strikes over inequality and the cost of living, resulting in the first ever cancellation of Martinique's Carnival. The poobahs in Paris responded by raising salaries and other concessions, President Nicholas Sarkozy paid a conciliatory visit last summer, and things pretty much returned to normal.
So when I headed down to check things out a couple of weeks ago, I f
At the western end of the great Asian high-mountains system, the Karakorum, Hindukush and Himalaya ranges all coverage in a landscape of truly breathtaking scale. Mountains typically rise above 6000m, with more than 160 summits higher than 7000m. In the Karakorum alone, 30 peaks reach higher than 7500m.
