    June 9, 2026 / No Comments

    Every cuisine in the world has its own signature dish, one that even those who have never visited the country can recognize. It’s like fast payout online pokies Australia with $10 – information about something that’s both profitable and high-quality reaches far beyond the usual audience. However, today we suggest digging a little deeper and getting to know not the popular dishes, but the true gems of international cuisine. This isn’t what’s advertised to tourists, but what gives us the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the vibe of another culture.

    Local Dishes That Surprise Travelers

    August 25, 2025 / No Comments

    It starts with that first whiff drifting through a market or a noisy street corner the stuff you think you know, then something wild in the mix that raises an eyebrow. Familiar signposts like Italian pizza or Texas barbecue? Sure, you’ll hunt those down. And yet, almost without fail, it’s the curveball eats that wedge themselves into your memory. The side-street specialties, the odd old-home favorites with ingredients you need Google just to identify those are the stories that hitch a ride all the way home. Vacations blur together, but the moment you bravely tasted something you couldn’t pronounce or named the animal only from context? That stuff lingers, with…

    The Sunday Brunch You Shouldn’t Miss In Bangkok At Plaza Athenee

    April 5, 2015 / 2 Comments

    First of all, I absolutely love Sunday brunch. I’ve been to quite a few, but I’ve never been to a better Sunday brunch than the one I went to at the Rain Tree Cafe at the Plaza Athenee in Bangkok. Is it hedonistic and over-the-top lavish? Why, yes. Yes, it is. So make sure you arrive hungry and with your palate ready for tasting. There are so many choices that the brunch buffet takes up three rooms. My favorite station was the seafood station which offered sashimi, King crab, prawns, scallops, and more. But, before I could even start, a Maine lobster tail was brought to my table, and my waiting glass…

    Where To Get Happy Pizza In Cambodia

    February 24, 2015 / 8 Comments

    In Cambodia, “happy” is the slang word for high, so know what you are getting into before ordering a happy pizza in Cambodia. Marijuana use is traditional in Cambodia, but is usually used by the locals as a spice for soups and not as something to be smoked. It’s not legal, but the use of marijuana is not something that is enforced by police. In fact, Cambodia has been named as one of the top ten weed-friendly countries. The shops that sell happy pizza in Cambodia usually get away with bribing the police a few dollars, and that is the end of it. photo credit:via photopin (license) You can also…

About Me

I am always looking for the perfect escape, the perfect paradise, the kind of place that tosses your cares into the sea. Fortunately, I have discovered many! I created this site to show you where to go and how to get there. My goal is to show you that Paradise is only a plane ticket (or boat ride) away. I have inspired many others to travel and to create a better life. I am available for inspirational speaking, coaching, writing, travel planning, and photography.
