This Copenhagen guide is written by a native who has lived in New York for the past ten years, meaning, this is more a story of re-locating and not so much the do’s and don’ts of visiting. I know this city and grew up here and yet my point of references seem to be [...]

The section between Cusco and Lima is called The Gringo Trail. I questioned Randy, our trip leader, about the name and he gave me a very simple answer, “That is where all the gringos go.” Peru is the most touristy of all the countries and gringos go to Puno to see Lake Titicaca, [...]

San Francisco…when you get there, do all the usual suspects: Golden Gate Bridge, fresh crab in Fisherman’s Wharf, shopping on Maiden Lane, burritos in the Mission District, “water pipes” in Upper Haight.
Then do some other things that you might have never done here before.
1. Stay at the newly re-opened Hotel Vertigo. It’s in the midst [...]

I grew up in the LA. I went to all the clubs and the Hollywood spots and beaches well before I could legally drive. So, it’s hard to have a new experience whenever I visit. I don’t see the novelty of palm tress and paparazzi, of shopping and freeways. I see a place recycled over [...]

Summer in New York City certainly has its charms: concerts in the park, dining in the garden at the back of the restaurant, dark and cool movie theaters. But sometimes, you just have to get out of town. We decided to forgo the standard Manhattan summer jaunt [...]

A friend of mine remarked to me a few months ago that “if you can’t be bothered with a plane ride to New York, Melbourne is definitely the next best thing,” which is a rather big call. However like New York, Melbourne is a vibrant, thriving city with a style and a modus operandi all [...]

Ok, so my first trip to Sweden I was envisioning lots’ of vodka, Ikea stores on every corner and loads of beautiful people. Well, 1 out of 3 isn’t bad; it was the beautiful people on every corner that I got right.
Arriving at the beginning of summer (the end of May), we were blessed with [...]
