Adventures

In the small town of Watkins Glen in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York with a downtown of literally a few blocks, the last thing I expected to find was Graft Wine and Cider Bar with fine dining in a relaxed casual charming environment.

The ancient walled city of Pingyao in Shanxi Province China, a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site is an architectural wonder and worth of a visit.

My horseback riding adventure with Painted Bar Stables through the trails of Finger Lakes National Forest in upstate New York is full of fond memories, wishes, natural landscapes and Scotch.

On the very top of my bucket list is Kakslauttanen, Finland where you can sleep in a glass igloo. If you can’t see the Aurora Borealis first hand, the next best thing is to enjoy things that are reminiscent of them at home such as a cocktail made from this bottle of Crystal Head Aurora Vodka.

When it comes to celebrating the holidays, cruise ships do it right. It’s a great stress-free holiday at sea for everyone and no one has to do dishes!

Radio Social Rochester NY is part Middle Eastern restaurant, part bar, and part bowling alley but it’s all fun. On a recent trip to the city east of Buffalo NY, I had the opportunity to try all of the above for a casual, relaxed evening out with a friend.

Deciding where to eat in Thailand is an adventure in itself. The freshest of fruits, vegetables, and seafood available in the markets set the stage for tantalizing street eats, local deliciousness, and upscale gastronomic affairs. Get ready, because Bangkok offers lots of options!

Read our guide on how to enjoy the black sand of Shipwreck Beach St. Kitts. Unspoiled and no frills it’s a Gilligan’s Island experience with rustic charm.

I look back on my trip to Hong Kong with a strong dose of nostalgia. I recall fondly the nightly laser light shows at the Victoria Harbour, browsing the antique markets on Temple Street, exploring one of the best history museums in all of Asia, and climbing the 268 steps to meet the Big Buddha on Lantau Island. My favourite memory is diving into Hong Kong’s culinary universe with Hong Kong Foodie Tours.
