I visited Munich, Germany on the start of a journey with a good friend and it was just at the end of Octoberfest, so there was still a great deal of drinking to be done. Visiting some of the beer gardens was a fun adventure. It is a nice city but not as beautiful or…
Lisbon Portugal is a seaside city and one of my favorite places on earth. The city has a gorgeous old town, historical buildings and very friendly people. I have been there a few times now and love the old town and especially traveling to some of the gorgeous beaches there.
Bar Waikiki, Lisbon Portugal is one of those treats you find by luck. Just a short distance from Lisbon, you catch a cute train that runs along many of the beaches here in Lisbon. You can get a lounge for $5 a day and service is excellent. Be warned the water in the beaches of…
Flying into Geneva, Switzerland is one of the best arrivals one can think of with its mountain range kissing the flanks of the aircraft. Geneva is a beautiful city situated on lake Geneva, it is probably one of the most expensive cities in Europe, so a short stay is advised for those on a budget.
Athens, Greece is one of my favorite cities and at night it is just as spectacular. A real treat is walking up close to the mountain that dominates the city and having a great meal on the steps. Be sure to be ready to walk a lot as there is so much to see by…
Istanbul, Turkey is one of the most amazing cities of the world. It is a melting pot of religions for the most part living in harmony and at the moment a looking glass into how other Middle Eastern Countries should be. I hope the current President doesn’t ruin it. I was there during the riots…
Riga, Latvia is an amazing old city with a pretty dark past. The old town is quite small but the city is big enough for a full weeks travel. Make sure you visit the ghettos and parks in and around Riga, Latvia. I took the ghetto bike tour and it was fantastic!
Tallin, Estonia is one of those Medieval Cities and absolutely gorgeous. The old town especially is wonderful and the castles forts and checkered history (always being invaded) makes for wonderful storytelling! Again a bike tour is a must!
Frankfurt, Germany is one of those cities that you cannot avoid when traveling to Europe as it is a major hub. I suggest a few days in Frankfurt as it is a beautiful city right on a gorgeous river. The old town mixed with modern architecture is a treat!
Singapore is one of the most modern Asian cities, it has some remarkable architecture and a lot of fun things to do. As it is a very large city, probably the best start to your trip is on one of the buses. I prefer Asian cities that are a little bit behind and have their…
