Itching to get away for the weekend, I desperately needed some beach time. I was contemplating flying to Miami for the weekend, but somehow stumbled over the idea of visiting San Juan, Puerto Rico which is just three and a half hours from NYC and located in the Caribbean. I couldn’t decide originally whether to [...]

Buenos Aires often gets lazily labelled the ‘Paris of the South’, yet BA is very much its own city. While you sometimes need to check Paris for a pulse, it’s hard to get Porteños (BA residents) to have a good lie down. When they do, it’s probably because they’re [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
