Rapa Nui (Easter Island) is the most remote place in the world. Located a whopping 3,700 km ( 2,300 miles) west of Chile. The journey to the mystical island is part of the experience.

The streets of Copenhagen are full of Michelin Stars (19 stars were awarded to 15 restaurants in 2018), hot dog vendors and bicycles…. any one of these delights is worth the trip to the City of Spires. Copenhagen is the ninth most densely populated European city, yet has more bicycles (650,000+) than residents (602,504). The city also has more bikes than cars...

FYI: I had a $400 credit from United Airlines and I found an $880 flight from YYZ to SYD with a layover in LAX, thus the flight only cost me $440. I had gold status with United Airlines...

Israel has one of the most modern and cosmopolitan cities in the world – Tel Aviv- yet surrounding it are some of the most historical sites of the Christian, Islamic and Jewish religions. Then there is Palestine a place that feels as ancient as the olive trees growing amongst...
Kraków My second trip to Poland included the historic city of Kraków, Wrocław – the second largest city in Western Poland, and the tiny village of Piechowice – hometown of my wife, Edyta.
