We love Christmas in Strasbourg.

You can peruse France’s oldest Christmas market with its 300 wooden chalets, spread around different squares in the city.  As the sun sets at this time of the year, the Alsatian capital gets lit up with thousands of Christmas lights and decorations creating a magical festive atmosphere.

I was born in Deauville, so Normandy means a lot to me. I like to breath the flavor of the sea, to wander in the countryside and contemplate the color of the fields, to visit the small villages and rummage through the markets and the art galleries, to sit at a terrace with the view and eat cheese…

Until recently, vacationing in Hawaii had never been an option, having grown up on the East Coast with family in Europe. I’d always thought of the rainbow state as an extension of the US, a few hours beyond California. I did not realize how exotic Hawaii is for us “mainlanders”.

LA, the City of Angels, is a big and daunting place, often disappointing to visitors who expect a paradise of palm trees and star-filled streets.

From the days of antiquity: from warlords to emperors to kingdoms, these lands have lived through destinies of dynasties – each with its own cultural & historic significance. Its mystical ancient splendor mixed with the vibrant modernity of its key urban centers gives China an energy and complexity that is unrivaled by any travel destination.

For me, San Francisco is one of the few cities where it was love at first sight. There are so many cities I have grown to love, but with San Francisco, I didn’t need to grow into it, I loved it immediately.

With the breathtaking views of city by the bay at nearly ever hilltop, charming neighborhoods filled with boutiques and delicious restaurants, parks, San Francisco just hits the spot every time.

As winter settles in, the first snowfalls will make anyone dream of an escape to the mountains. Ski resorts vary a lot between America’s East and West. It can be hard to choose, but finding a ski resort in the Rockies is more enticing for the experienced skier.
