What makes Oregon’s coast special – very, very special actually – is that all 363 miles of it is public and protected so by law. There’s no span of private ownership, so every beach is open to the public, every city and town perched on this lovely stretch of ocean allows locals and visitors to [...]

Last year I actually made a visit to the city of Seattle, before I ended up living there. After my trip, I wrote up a list of classic but must-do Seattle Sightseeing Favorites. As most locals would I think agree, it was a great list, but very downtown focused. And if you’re visiting Seattle, downtown [...]

Earlier in the week I was singing the praises of Innsbruck, one of Austria’s timelessly charming cities. And I briefly mentioned daytrips from Innsbruck, but wanted to take a moment and highlight the small mountain village of Seefeld. I’m calling Seefeld a destination “12 months of awesome” because literally in ever season there are hundreds [...]

Last month I made a return visit to Innsbruck, Austria. It’s been about 15 years, but I remember the place so clearly… the color on the houses. The stark contrast of mountain cliffs behind the city, and snow capped peaks, even though it was a hot summer. As cities go, you’re hard pressed to find [...]

The city of Seattle tends to hog the spotlight in terms of Washington tourism, but there’s more to the state than the Emerald City. I had the wonderful opportunity to pop down to Tacoma for a long weekend of exploring this city’s long heritage of glassblowing. Tacoma is less than 1 hour away by bus [...]

Recently I got to spend a few days visiting friends in Balitmore, Maryland. It’s a nice city, with a ever-changing reputation. I only really knew Baltimore as the backdrop for the famous Broadway musical Hairspray, though I’m constantly hearing more and more about Balitmore being a foodie destination. I’ll have to visit again to further [...]

When I told people my sister and I were vacationing in Phoenix in July, everyone asked the same question: “Why?” Why visit one of the hottest parts of the country during one of the record hottest summers of the year? The answer was simple, because we were broke but still very much in need of [...]

Translated, ho’i hou ke aloha loosely means ‘let us fall in love all over again.’ What a great sentiment to echo especially when in the presence of such beauty in the breathtaking islands of Hawai’i. Personally, I think Hawai’i is the perfect place to fall in love all over again. Engulfed by a fresh ocean [...]

In case you hadn’t heard the news, here it is: Providence, Rhode Island is on the way up. It’s a city with a storied past, and in the past 20 years, has changed dramatically. The city literally ripped out a freeway downtown, replaced it with parks and gardens, spurring a building spree of hotels, shops, [...]

Charleston is one of America’s oldest cities, and has loads of history and culture within the city centre. But what about exploring further afield? One of the more interesting attractions in the area are the Plantations in Charleston – establishments which brought great wealth to the city and no doubt changed the course of its [...]
