2010-03-09T06:23:35Z

The island of Puerto Rico isn't techically a foreign country, but it is a world away from the typical weekend vacation to Florida. The main city on this great island is San Juan, which is a heady mix of heat, food, rum and Latin beats.

Irish Brogue and American Hospitality in Boston

2010-03-03T04:16:38Z

Boston is the home of Irish America and proudly shares its roots with visitors. This year's St Patrick's Day Parade is the best chance to share a little of the spirit of the Old Country. Boston is also a strong base of American art and culture, and has more than its share of off-the-beaten-path attractions in which to rub shoulders with the locals.

Going a Little Renaissance in Florence, Italy

2010-02-25T02:53:49Z

Covered in cohesive art and architecture, Florence, Italy may be one of the most idyllic cities in all of the country. Rusty red and creamy yellow cover every street in the city. With very few modern touches, Florence, for the most part, has remained just as it did when the Medici roamed its cobblestone streets during the Renaissance era.

Thanks to the construction of Disneyland, the once sleepy farming community of Anaheim, CA has become a kind of Mecca for the world's kids.

2010-02-17T07:13:51Z

Austin, Texas is locally known as The Live Music Capital of the world. Although this title is ambitious (not mention arguable), there's no doubt that the city offers up a wide array of styles and venues for music-lovers, as well as big serves of artery-hardening Texan fare.

Red is Far from Dead in Moscow

2010-02-11T10:41:17Z

Unlike its slightly friendlier sister city St Petersburg, Moscow is still very much the stronghold of political and military Russia. The most impressive sight in the city is Red Square. The name is not as many think, a reference to communism, but is instead a more poetic play on the double meaning of the Russian word for red, which can also mean 'beautiful'.

A Hundred Cultures and Bells in Montreal

2010-02-06T03:41:22Z

As well as being the 'City of a Hundred Church Bells' Montreal is also known as 'The City of a Hundred Cultures.' It is these two characteristics (noise and variety) that keep this city humming with the vibrancy that makes it so popular with residents and visitors alike.

A Year is Not Enough in Delhi, India

2010-02-03T01:57:07Z

Delhi is the distillation of all that is India. Full of contrasts, colors, aromas, and the heaving masses of ever-present humanity, a visitor could spend years here and still not even scratch the surface of everything the city has to offer.
