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 [...]

When you’re in Japan, eat Japanese and only Japanese. And for the real deal the best place I’ve ever been in Japan is Toufuya Ukai. Traditional private dining rooms all open up onto beautiful gardens that are quite magical to walk through before and after dinner. It’s a sensational place for lunch or [...]

Last year I had the pleasure of meeting Bruce Kleyer, a New Zealander who lives in the once industrial but now hip suburb of Montreuil, a short Metro ride just outside of Paris. Bruce runs a woodworking and steam bending workshop together with Peter Steitzner.

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, [...]
