Do you remember the famous Eastern aphorism "Be careful with your wishes–sometimes they come true"? That is how I was going to entitle this story. However, today we will speak about sailing in Croatia, Croatian cities, islands, and people.

For some time, my dearest served in the navy. From time to time, he told me romantic stories about the sea, dolphins, sailing, and the wind blowing in your face. So, what would you give such a man on his birthday–yet another wrist watch or new mobi

While in Mexico City on business, my partner and I were looking for a little badly needed R&R, and interested in an out-of-town excursion that was interesting but not too obvious or a cliché, so we asked our local employees their opinion, and they were in pretty much unanimous agreement: Tepoztlán. A little town in the dusty hills of the state of Morelos about an hour outside the capital, it has cobblestone streets, colonial-era churches, and even a modest set of ancient ruins atop the steep mou

When searching for hotel accommodation in Bangalore, one needs to consider factors like distance from the airport, the kind of place that can help take care of official meets as well as give a homely feeling to sit back and relax. Boutique Hotels in Bangalore offer just the right mix of convenience and comfort where one can enjoy a stay in a garden villa away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The hotels offer an old world charm complemented by a unique beauty. Some of the rooms have saree

Wildlife in India is truly amazing. In fact, there are a good range of tiger reserves in the country which are incorporated with different sorts of tiger breeds.

Ranthambore Tiger Reserve, Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve and Periyar Tiger Reserve are the most prized wildlife destinations in this subcontinent. Wildlife Tours

Admit it. It is tough to visualize an elephant orphanage.  Visions of elephants in shorts like Oliver Twist asking “please sir may I have another” were short lived in my great expectations, however they were not replaced with anything very clear.

Originally set up by the government to care for abandoned or orphaned elephants it has now turned into a major tourist attraction and seems to be the economic cornerstone of a small village outside of Kandy named Pinnewala.

It has its critics. The critics

1. The People: The people of this old realm are a mixture of above 80 ethnic groups speaking above 70 different languages; they don’t seem so though, for they understand each other in almost every aspect of their lives.  To appreciate what diversity and living in peace with all the difference anyone might have, Ethiopia is the best choice. Having three thousand years of experience the people of this land has come to be unusually very kind for strangers and travellers. Once you are in their land

You reach Surajkund even before you can say ‘Surajkund Mela’. You are there even before you realise that you are in the outskirts of Delhi. For Delhi-ites used to getting into Gurgaon or Noida for work or shopping, the drive to the annual gala-mela is hardly a drive. Then, it is not exactly supposed to be one either. This little village in Haryan

Esta tierra húmeda es ultra cosmopolita desde el siglo XIX. No muchos lugares del mundo pueden proclamar eso a los cuatro vientos, pero La Boca, el sugerente barrio de Buenos Aires, guarda los sedimentos de italianos, polacos, rusos, españoles, franceses… Este barrio, mezcla fascinante de orígenes, historias y nostalgias, fue fundado en el siglo XVI por Pedro de Mendoza y durante muchos siglos fue un arrabal portuario construido con los sueños de los emigrantes y la madera y la pintura que sobra

After a near panic-attack—or maybe it was claustrophobia, I’m not sure—from being in rooms without windows for six days straight, I get on the bus from Baguio to Sagada resolving to do better.  I even find banana bread.  That’s a good sign.  “You ever have before?” the lady behind the smile asks.  I smile back.  Does a hippie live in the woods?  “I’ve had it all my life.” 

That’s probably the first thing I ever cooked. 

The Philippines really are nice; they just respond better to an old-fashioned

We had saved the day for the historic and hilly town of Grasse, the world capital of perfume, located about ten miles up the hills of the Maritime Alps behind Cannes. The small town of Grasse still accounts for two thirds of France’s production of perfume essence and food flavorings. The hills around Grasse are full of fields of flowers, in particular jasmine and roses, which form the core of that production.

Our first stop in Grasse was the Musee International de la Parfumerie,  a multi-story la
