Bologna may not be as well known as some of Italy's other famous cities, but it is definitely the best place in Italy for food and one of my favorite culinary destinations. As the capitol of the Emilia Romagna region, Bologna has earned several nicknames throughout history - La Dotta ('the learned one' - for its university - the oldest in the world), La Rossa ('the red one' - for the terra cotta ...

Pete and I visited Kitzbuhel, Austria, last fall for the Social Travel Summit conference and afterwards spent some time in the mountains for an Austrian Alps farm house stay. The surrounding Alps were the perfect setting for a such a meeting of minds — a physical manifestation of getting a birds eye view on life…
Wales might be shadowed by the more frequently visited England and Scotland, but for travelers with an appreciation for food, culture, and epic landscapes, Wales is a must-visit. It’s the land of dragons and castles, rolling green hills dotted with sheep, and a fun celtic language of double L’s and tongue-twisting W’s as vowels. The people of…
