How low can you go to go big?
Biltmore? How can this be even built more?? There are the rich, and then there are the rich. Some people just have a knack. George Washington Vanderbilt II was one of them. Vanderbilt was an art collector and member of the prominent Vanderbilt family, which amassed a huge fortune through steamboats, railroads,…
Germany is certainly at the front of European power, drive and energy. An economic and social powerhouse itself, it stands as one of Europe's shining stars when it comes to making things happen. And this dynamo of a country is looking for smart, energetic workers.
Germany is doubling down on plans to attract skilled workers from…
We're going to keep this one simple. Here's a post about Rome, specifically around the Trevi Fountain. You know the place - you've likely been once or twice - and you're sure to agree that it is one of that magical city's most memorable and romantic locations. You'll also know that it…
What once was old, is new. And new often gets old, even before it gets old. Get it? The long and short of this, is that something never get old, and one of those is MCM. What is MCM, you may ask? It stands for Mid-Century Modern. Mid-century modern…

After living in lockdown for the best part of two years, the idea of packing a bag and moving to the other side of the world is very tempting - especially as the cost of living crisis bites. So, are you aching for something new and exciting?
Surely you'll know that Brazil is an…
It can't be surprise that, when we fall out of bed every morning, we know that getting older is not optional. But, hey, we've known that all along. That doesn't stop many of us, as it's easier now to stay in shape, eat well and live your best life. But it's not…
Mother nature has provided so many mind-blowing spectacles for us humans to explore and desire. So much so that we will likely not see them all. But that doesn't stop us from trying, especially when some of them are so accessible and "special" in the true sense of the word.
Portugal is (to us) a…
The Ochre City of Marrakech presents a tale of two cities. Vibrant arts and culture, world class golf courses and fashionable night life, juxtaposed with spiritual mystique, beautiful gardens, Andalusian architecture and traditional souks.
And, the sumptuous Royal Villa at the Oberoi Marrakech Resort (our affiliate friends) has finally reopened after a two-year closure.

When one thinks of the Lord of the Rings, it's usually singing the praises of those diminutive characters that fill the timeless stories and our ever-present appetites to see the films again, visit the locations where the films were created, and praying to the Pharoahs that Peter Jackson might gift us with more of his…

Naturism is a lifestyle of practising non-sexual social nudity in private and in public; the word also refers to the cultural movement which advocates and defends that lifestyle. Both may alternatively be called nudism. Though the two terms are broadly interchangeable, nudism emphasizes…
Nothing like walking along a beach and then - hey presto! - finding out that it's for nudists. That happened to us here in Vancouver, of all places. Luckily, our sunglasses were in place and covered our eyes even if they didn't hide our embarassment. We're not prudes, by any stretch -…
Just like we say "where would we be without GPS?", we also wonder where would we be without our smart phones. I think I need a smartphone just to find my smartphone, somewhere in the house.
But, some of us start to resent our phones: we can't live with them, we can't live…
As we march forward in time, lots of things change. Trends, likes / dislikes, outlooks and . . . most noticably, our tolerance for stuff. Much of that manifests itself of wanting to live here, and not there. You know, too much snow / not enough snow.
But, a large proportion of snowbirds turn into sunbirds. …
We don't know about you, but every so often - measured in decades - we get the urge to "pick up sticks" as they say, and simply move to another place. It can be for a a few weeks or months - or in our case - years. There is something hard to describe in…
It won't be surprise if we say that Japan is one of the happiest and most welcoming countries in the world. Its residents strive every day find happiness in even the little things. But, some of the quiet islands take that ethos even further. Okinawa, Japan has highest congregation of people over 100 years of…
