If you want to tell people you have seen Rio de Janeiro, there are a few “not to miss” attractions and one of them is the Pão de Açucar (Sugar Loaf). Most people go to the summit of Sugar Loaf the normal way: by cable trolley. Few people know that there are alternative, more adventurous ways to get there. One of them is a walk to the top (referred to as “costão”), a three hour walk which involves a little rock climbing, but nothing too difficult. I did it with no prior climbing experience and w

9008806891?profile=originalLike the lion or the tiger, the jaguar is the "king of the jungle" in the Americas. It is the largest feline in the Americas and the third largest in the world, notes Wikipedia. With a range extending from Southwestern United States and Mexico across much of Central America and south to Paraguay and northern Argentina, there are only an estimated 15,000 jaguars left in the wild, according to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).

"The jaguar is still an abundant species, but is threatened by habitat loss

How Study Abroad Changed My Life

They call it growing up for a reason, of course. And when you add “safe” first-hand exposure to the wide world beyond your own country's borders - as a (relatively) independent young person, still curious, full of energy, and trying to figure it all out, yet at the same time supported and protected by parents (from afar) and teachers (nearer at hand) - all this inevitably has a powerful effect on your personality, and in many cases your future course in life. Everyone's story is completely diffe

The south Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica somehow seems almost greener, more lush and a Cahuita-11-300x241.jpg?width=300more “tropical rainforest experience” than its highly-popular sunny cousin, the Pacific Coast.

Maybe it is the abundant rain, brought in by the trade winds, which keeps the jungle thick and vibrant right to the shoreline. Maybe it is the bright aqua, crystal-clear Caribbean Sea that sparkles like a precious jewel in the tropical sun. Or maybe it is the Afro-Caribbean vibe with its reggae music, Creole patois lan

The Tropicana Casino and Nightclub opened in a lush garden in Havana on December 30, 1939. The 2nd World War swept Europe, “Gone With the Wind” had just been released in the United States and a young rebel named Fidel Castro was 13 years old.

In its early days Celia Cruz, Liberace, Carmen Miranda, Yma Sumac, Paul Robeson and Orfelia Fox came to the stage. On many of nights the guests were equally famous, such as Marlon Brando, Sammy Davis Jr., Greta Garbo and other Hollywood stars. The Tropicana

Place Pins Pushes Pinterest Into Travel


It’s pretty amazing that Pinterest is valued at 3.8 billion dollars, even though it has no revenue. 
But that hasn’t stopped the popular image-driven site from expanding its reach into travel.  

The company, started in 2009, has more traffic from its mobile applications than its website, and co- founder Evan Sharp went so far as to say Pinterest is "probably the last big website...the last start up to become high-profile on the web.”



With the company's recent roll out of Place Pins, the more th

Knowing a little something about a country’s cultural and social nuances before you travel there could mean the difference between having a fun or a frustrating vacation.

Cultural-Awareness-150x150.jpg?width=150You’d want the same for a visitor in your own country, so why not make cultural awareness just as important as what you pack when planning an international trip. The more information you gather before traveling to a foreign country, the more open you can be to new experiences and the better memories you will take home with you.

The USA's 10 Worst States For Roads

Every spring after all the snow melts, cities, towns and states make plans to remedy the devastation snowplows and chained tires generate on their roads. As road-repair budgets are weighed by cash strapped states, we decided take a closer look at data compiled by others and determine who had the worst roads in the country.

Four metrics were analyzed to do this.  Each state was ranked on each indicator and the results pooled to generate a cumulative ranking for all 50 states. Washington, D.C. was

Costa Rica's south Caribbean Coast is a magical place. South of Limon, the southern Caribbean beach towns of Cahuita, Puerto Viejo and Manzanillo are ideal destinations for a Costa Rica vacation.

San Telmo, Buenos Aires' Historic Heart

10997977256?profile=RESIZE_930x
by Asli Pelit


The oldest neighborhood in Argentina‘s capital, San Telmo is a barrio founded in the 16th century, where history – romantic cobblestone streets, colonial buildings, cafés, churches, and its tango culture — happily coexists with today’s fashionista edge and Montmartre-like buzz. It became a bastion of the upper class in the 1800s, declined after the cholera epidemic of 1871, and has been reviving since the country’s economic crisis in 2002, luring (mostly European) investors and b

Anatomy of a Twitter Suspension

So it begins innocently enough.

I Try to send a Tweet from an active, important  account I manage. The Tweet doesn’t send.

Error Message: “There was an error sending…please select the Social Network and try again.”

So  I try,  and try again.

Then it slowly dawns on me:  There’s more here than meets the eye.
I sign into the account, and there it is: “Your Account Has Been Suspended.”

Caution light flashes: The suspension occurred the day after I published a mildly critic

Berlín - Disney Para Modernos



Hay quien lo llama el Disneyland para modernos. En la capital de Alemania parece que todo el mundo tiene cierto aire hipster, trendy, sabe hacer algo que se sale de lo normal o se gana la vida con un curro de lo más interesante. Son las sensaciones de una ciudad con una cultura urbana alternativa, con un ritmo trepidante y enérgico, que se mueve en bici, que toma salchichas en las calles, que acude a una obra de teatro en una nave industrial o se tuesta al sol veraniego en la orilla del Spree.
