Food is an integral part of culture. But what happens when cultures change, and change rapidly, as is the case with Macau?

Most of the time if you ask me what type of room I like to stay in at a hotel I’m really not too fussy. Once I’m in the right hotel you can give me a diddy one with a pleasant view and a comfy bed and I’m just as happy. But sometimes I want to feel like a rock star…

Today I’d like to introduce you to the most delicious cocktail I’ve ever managed to create. It’s sweet, tangy and refreshing and best enjoyed by the poolside while the sun is beating down on you.

The lovely Eccleston Square Hotel in London Located in the sought-after Eccleston Square, in London’s Pimlico neighbourhood, this little gem of a hotel – the Eccleston Square Hotel, was a very nice surprise.

This post was sponsored by KAYAK but as usual, all opinions are my own. I love living in Austin, TX. With a vibrant economy, a young population and a skyline that’s as beautiful as the nature surrounding it, it’s the quintessential 21st-century American city—I wouldn’t live anywhere else. Well, except for one little problem: Austin is seriously lacking in nonstop…

Germany attracts repeat visitors through an intoxicating mix of sweet gingerbread and beer. Sizzling sausages (some protected by law,) fairytale castles and snow-laden chalets with glühwein on tap take the chill off the history of the Berlin Wall and the shadows from the well documented World Wars. LOOKING FOR THE UNUSUAL But what if you’re looking for more unusual things to do in Germany? Well, you’ve come to the right place, so you have. Here are 7 unusual things to do in Germany, all tested with my own fair hand. (And if you’re looking for …
1Dad1Kid.com October in Scotland is usually met with rain, cold, and wind. Yesterday, though, we walked in beautiful sunshine along the shores of Loch Lomond occasionally passing through woods in a park. Some of the trees showed evidence of autumn, and I imagined what the sight would be when the leaves were yellow, orange, and red. Feeling elated by the wonderful scene and experience, I turned to Tigger and said, “THIS is why I don’t want to move to Mexico.” No, I’m still not…
Categories: Best OfTravelingBody: Fall is a time for corn mazes, apple picking, pumpkin carving, seeing the colors change, and eating fresh, seasonal food. It’s also a great time to travel to do all these things, so as to expand said fall activities. So imagine my great joy at finding a scavenger hunt for fall in Stratford, Ontario. Now, I already love Stratford for so many things – plenty of art, an incredible …
Greetings, I’ve just finished a great day exploring a city that I knew nothing about until earlier this morning. The name of the city is Subotica which is the most northern city in Serbia and the fifth largest. It’s a trilingual place where Serbian, Hungarian and Croatian are all spoken and it was one of if not the largest city in the area until the late 19th century. Today it’s a bit sleepier but quite beautiful and a…
Exploring the Land of Fire and Ice I remember a time, not so long ago, when Iceland was easily overlooked as a travel destination. Given it’s name and remote location in the North Atlantic Ocean, many North Americans viewed Iceland as an icy tundra unsuitable for a vacation. But that was the Iceland of the past. These days, Iceland has skyrocketed to the top of list when it comes to adventure travel. From dramatic volcanic landscapes to powerful glaciers and raging waterfalls, the Land…
Bronco Buster statue in Civic Center Park.America’s cities are not always the easiest to navigate without a car. They’re spread out and the public transportation isn’t always that great. But we only had a weekend for our trip to Denver and it felt unnecessary to have a rental car for such a short trip. We decided to …
I did a double take at Google Maps when it estimated an hour until I reached my goal. I had already made the long drive from Edmonton to the front gate of Jasper National Park and then the not-so-short drive from there to Jasper Park Lodge.

In the Palestinian Territories, artists are finally breaking their years of silence. The growing art scene in the West Bank is a testament to how the Palestinians are using street art as a form of expression. Politics, a subject you can’t avoid in Palestine, is of course the main theme. Activists have sprawled their works of art and messages across the West Bank’s streets and walls. Expressions like “Free Palestine” and “Don’t forget the struggle” are commonly seen on the walls and in the streets of Bethlehem and Ramallah…
