There’s Something About Riga

by

Look skyward while walking around Riga and you will be rewarded with glimpses of fanciful architectural flourishes. Roughly 40 percent of the buildings in this port city were built in the Art Nouveau style. Some of these stately stunners—constructed primarily at the turn of the 20th century, during the height of Riga’s wealth, and clustered in the city’s historic city center—have seen better days. This fact, along with the blustery weather that accompanied my visit, lent an air of Baltic melancholy to the streets. Still, there is a quiet but palpable spirit of renewal in Riga, demonstrated by… [Read More]

Why we love Morocco in the autumn

by

Whether you’re hiking the Atlas Mountains with a sure-footed Berber or sipping mint tea in a Marrakech riad, autumn might be the best time of year to visit Morocco.

On Safari in North America

Scary Slovenian Folk Traditions

by

The man behind the counter at Ptuj Castle suggested I begin my tour at a display of costumes and masks from Slovenian folk traditions and tales. “But I have to warn you,” he said. “Just the other day a man told me it was the scariest thing he’d ever seen.” He shook his head when I laughed. “I’m not kidding. The guy was practically shaking when he left.” Costumes and masks from Slovenian folk traditions and tales are… [Read More]

Hôtel Thoumieux, Paris: Hotel of the week

by

We agree with Sabrina:Paris is always a good idea; especially if checking in to Left Bank stay Hôtel Thoumieux. We’re eager to try its recently re-styled restaurant, and India Mahdavi-made-over boudoirs send us into reveries of waking up to warm croissants, hitting full-on flâneur mode, then popping a cork on a bottle of the bar’s Loire Valley’s finest before snuggling up under a leopard-print blanket. Ah, c’est bon… STYLE HANDSOME PRINTS… [Read More]

The Macau Peninsula has long been influenced by the Portuguese, who established a trading port there in the mid-16th century. In fact, it was a proper colony from 1887 up until 1999, when the Europeans transferred sovereignty back to … [Read More]
