Bonnaroo

They say you can never be young again, but I’d like to differ. It took attending this year’s Bonnaroo festival to feel like I was thirteen years old again with headlining acts like Pearl Jam, Robert Plant, and Metallica.
Bonnaroo is held every year in June in Manchester, TN. [...]

Modern Art… Off the Beaten Path

PaperPlane | July 5th, 2008

Words by Carli Philips
Modern art museums are meant to be in the centre of town, right? A saunter over to the Tate Modern, an easy subway ride to MOMA, a short stroll to the Pompidou. Read the map, mark the route, follow the signs…wham bam thank you ma’am.
Contrary to contemporary tourist lore however, some [...]

Brooklyn, Ravings of a Middle Aged Man

Words and Photos by Hugh Stewart
Manhattan has changed over the past 10 years. It is not the same place I first arrived at in 1983 and still continue to come and go from. When I first lived there Manhattan was a diverse, vibrant exciting place. Drag queens and drug addicts mixed with artists, musicians, [...]

A New York State of Mind

Jamie McLellan | May 29th, 2008

On my first trip to New York, I was a bit busy leaving London and foolishly thought I’d be ok to organise accomodation upon landing at JFK. How wrong I was. The only place anywhere close to where I thought was central turned out to be the smelliest, dirtiest place I have ever slept in [...]

Royal Flush

PaperPlane | May 23rd, 2008

Words by Wilfred Brandt
As any seasoned traveller will tell you, there’s nothing exciting about waking up in ‘another room in another city’. You want to visit places that are full of character, and stay in hotels that reflect a city’s own unique personality and charm. One such city is Portland Oregon in the [...]

Deep in the Heart of Texas

Texas is a gem in America that I have always been curious about. From the ten gallon cowboy hats to The Alamo, to rodeos and that ultra glam 80’s drama ‘Dallas’, I’ve always been intrigued by what Texas has to offer. This spring, I decided to mosey my way down to [...]

While the focus of American politics these days follows the state-to-state contests of the primaries, it’s a perfect time to visit a relatively calm Washington DC.
You can feel like a politico, though, if you stay at the Hay-Adams, the stately, classic hotel just across Lafayette Park from [...]

Bahamas

Valery Gherman | April 11th, 2008

Harbour Island lies off the northern end of Eleuthera, one of the many islands which make up the Bahamas. The only access to Harbour Island is by water taxi which makes the island the perfect exclusive escape without the hordes of tourists, casinos, and golf crowd, which is why the islands perfect pink sand beaches [...]

The Quilotoa Loop, Ecuador, holds many unexpected treasures for those adventurous enough to take the road less traveled. Two hours South of Quito, the loop begins at Latacunga on a dusty, bumpy road that goes from bad to worse to worser to worsest at which point it’s only [...]

Camping in the Catskills

Valery Gherman | February 24th, 2008

The best part of camping in New York is that you can camp free in any state park as long as you are 150 feet from any road, trail, spring or stream.
The Sundown Campsites, near Pheonicia in the Catskills, offers some the best free camping. Either make, or use an existing fire pit from previous [...]
