A Guide to: Argentina
Known for its tango, meat, soccer and few icons in arts & sports (Mercedes Sosa, Piazzolla, Maradona, to name a few), Argentina has attractions for all types of tourists - from the party-all-the-time youngster to the socialite, or the outdoor hikers to the intelectual geek.

A Guide to: Annapolis, MD
I just came back from my first - and certainly not last! - trip to Annapolis, capital of Maryland. The city is absolutely adorable, I was really impressed. The buildings, the US Naval Academy campus, the harbor, restaurants and stores seem to all complete each other to create this beautiful and live city.
DreamTown – Munich
(...) the capital of the state of Bavaria is one of Europe’s leading centers of art and culture (with 58 theaters and 45 museums) and has an extraordinary public transportation system. München, as the Germans call it, was founded as a town in 1158, and residents are proud of their history.
A Guide to: Waikiki, Honolulu & Oahu
The minute you step in Honolulu's airport, you can already feel it, it's a whole different world. You see flowers everywhere, people relaxed and smiling and greeting you even if you've never met, and the air is just different. Only there you can understand what people mean when they talk about the spirit of Aloha.

I found out about airfarewatchdog a couple of years ago when I was searching for airfare deals, and since then I became a huge fan of these guys. Their search engine is not really that different from many others I typically use, though their fare alerts typically show unadvertised deals, based on the departure airport(s) and destination you choose in...

Booking Your Train Trip in China
As you will read in many guidebooks, train tickets are only sold at rail stations, and typically 10 days before the day of departure. Being used to planning my entire trip in advance and booking everything online, this became a big inconvenience for me, for two reasons: 1. the best trains / seats are generally sold out on the day of the trip; 2. I need... [Read more of this review]

Out of the Ordinary Lodging in Italy
I just came back from Sicily in Italy, a great trip and different from the usual, thanks to the hotel we stayed at. Granary was basically a farmhouse, but with stylish decoration – almost like a boutique hotel. The owners grow olives in their several acres of land, and we could also taste their home made wine along with the gourmet meals they... [Read more of this review]
