Food Obsession: Halloumi

Artisans of Leisure

Whenever we travel, we’re on the lookout for halloumi: a salty Cypriot cheese often griddled or grilled until crispy and golden brown. Halloumi can be very difficult to find in the United States, but it’s wildly popular in some of our favorite travel destinations: Greece, Turkey and Lebanon, especially, but also cities like London, Berlin and Dublin, where it has become an integral part of the culinary landscape. Both vegetarians and omnivores love it tucked into a pita sandwich as a quick lunch during a…

Golf for men, spa for women

Small Luxury Hotels of the World

It’s terrible to adhere to clichés and stereotypes isn’t it? Especially if in the past you’ve been mildly outraged when someone else is guilty of doing exactly the same thing. Last week I was invited on a corporate day out you see. These invitations don’t come along very often so I tend to leap on them immediately when they do. But this one annoyed me a tiny bit. It was a golf and spa day. Golf for men and …

The Most Majestic Architecture in Europe

thehipmunk

This article was posted by thehipmunk on Hipmunk’s Tailwind blog on October 6, 2015 Traveling through Europe is a great way to experience not only some of the world’s best food, art, and culture, but also some of its best architecture. Architecture in Europe seamlessly blends the ancient with the modern to create a landscape that honors history, while also being innovative and forward-thinking. Though nearly every European city offers up an array of beautiful museums and storied cathedrals, there are a few with magnificent architecture that set them above the rest. Valencia, Spain Popular for its sunny beaches along…

When Making Decisions is Tough

Talon Windwalker

1Dad1Kid.com Like with anything in life, long-term travel has its own set of stressors and challenging moments. It can be really hard making decisions that seem so easy for others. My first step for dealing with tough choices is to apply the regrets test—Will we regret it if we do/don’t . . .  If the answer is yes, that makes the decision much easier. Fortunately, most decisions can be easily made after this test. But, occasionally, the potential outcome is much harder. When we were in Ecuador, I was offered a…

10 Things to Do at the Grand Canyon

admin

The Grand Canyon in Arizona is one of the seven natural wonders of the world and a World Heritage Site. This geological wonder is one mile deep, 18 miles wide, and 277 river miles long.

But there is so much more to see and so many things to do at the Grand Canyon you can easily spend a few days there if not even…

How the Overview Effect Could Change Your Life

Jon Killpack

We reside inside our own worlds, full of boundaries. Some of those boundaries are real. Most are constructed. Stepping out of that world is one of the healthiest activities you can practice. There is a phenomenon experienced by astronauts called the “Overview Effect.” It is a shift in awareness when one leaves the Earth’s atmosphere and looks back at the Earth from a distance.
