The worst thing about going on holiday is, well, the going – traffic jams, suitcase slaloms, queues, more queues, other people. What if you could get that shoulder-loosening Smith-hotel feeling as soon as you left home? We tried Heathrow‘s star treatment… Let’s face it, until you do that victory face-plant onto your hotel bed, your holiday hasn’t begun. If you’re anything like me, the build-up usually involves playing Tube Tetris with your luggage, enacting full-body pat-downs every half …
Even on an overcast day, it’s a beautiful drive from San Francisco to the Monterey Bay coast, inland through Hecker Pass and into Capitola. Recently my husband and I did the drive and made a visit to via JustLuxe.com
Our Wednesday began at 8.30am where we met our fellow adventurers in the lobby and together, we headed on a 15 minute drive to Downtown Edmonton.

Downtown Mobile/Tad Denson, MyShotz Mobile, Alabama was established in 1702 as the first capital of colonial French Louisiana. The city, only two hours and 20 minutes east of New Orleans, has much in common with The Big Easy — but also boasts a unique heritage of their own. Along with their French connection and the same explorer-founders, both Mobile and New Orleans are port cities with a similar military and maritime history, late-night drinking establishments, and a long and proud Mardi Gras history. But the delta, the bay, and the proximity to the Gulf of Mexico have as …
A Little Secret Can I let you in on a secret? I’m a little scared of clowns. Don’t ask me to explain the whys, wherefores and what-have-yous. There’s just something about them that leaves me uneasy. So, too, with street performers, (many of whom are, of course, clowns.) From the ones that grab your hand and don’t let go to those others who call out names while you’re not looking, it’s all one big gag reel with yours truly at the …

A few weeks ago, I had the chance to briefly drive through a favorite region of mine, Banff and Lake Louise in Alberta Canada. The only other time I had been there was a couple of years ago in the middle of winter. My snowy experience in this famed winter destination was fun and well worth the adventure of traveling out there, but I was curious what the summer version of this beautiful part of the world would be like. While my experiences were very different, I learned that the answer to this question is truly a matter …
Nikk? T?sh?-g? Nikko Tosho-gu is a beautiful shrine, tucked away within a luscious, green forest.

The guide team monitored weather conditions throughout the night, only to find snow and poor visibility each time we looked out of our tent.
The days blend into each other in the High Arctic, where working nights under the 2 a.m. sun or working days is guided not by an internal clock or by the necessary stillness that comes with darkness, but by the cycles of the whales, which seem to be guided by the tides.
A vast sea of mosses, brown pools, and lakes spread out before me. Besides my guide and I, there is no one else in sight. From this top of the watch tower, I can see the Kemeri bog running for miles on end, fringed by green pine tree forests in the far distance. The sun sparkles from beyond, lighting up the entire bog in shades of gold. I’m in the heart of Kemeri National Park, Latvia’s most accessible wilderness just 50km from the capital…
The other day my mom asked me if I liked traveling alone. My immediate answer was a very loud YES. As an introvert, traveling by myself is the ultimate deal. I’m on my own schedule, there’s no need for small talk, and there’s absolutely no pressure to watch a show that involves audience participation. I have had to do all of these things while on family trips, and it was horrible. However, though I love the independence …

If you’ve ever seen any video footage from the Red Bull Rampage, you know that it is a mountain biking course that is incredibly scary to ride. The 2015 edition of the race is set to take place this weekend in Utah, and in preparation for the event, we get this video from rider Claudio Caluori that gives us a preview of what the competitors will be facing. As usual, it is insane. But Caludio… [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

One thing I love about the growth of our business is that we have more space in our life to support charities we care about. I hate saying that it’s only a reality for us now, but when you’re facing your own money struggles it’s hard to think about supporting charities financially, even though you really should. It’s one of the best ways you can tap into that stream of abundance, as you are operating from a giving place. But, as I said, I know it’s hard. So if you are in …
If you have trouble viewing this video click here: https://youtu.be/K2aK9zd8Vas So far in Poland we’ve been enjoying hearty meals typically rich in portions of meat and potatoes. Continuing with this theme we tried Bigos, after a recommendation from a Polish born man now living in the US, which is known as Hunter’s Stew consisting of fermented cabbage, sauerkraut (known locally as kapusta kiszona), Polish sausage (kielbasa) and various other kinds of vegetables and meats. Upon first glance it is not the …
