Croatia: Istria

Dolphin-spotting, truffle hunting and face-stuffing in Croatia’s foodie heartland.

Hungary: Pecs

My favorite city in Hungary is all class and no crowds.

Hungary: Budapest

Fun, food and unexpected terror in Europe’s most flamboyant cities.

UAE: The Empty Quarter

A most unusual beauty competition and a magnificent sandcastle in one of the most remote places on earth.

UAE: Al Ain

Camels, forts and…gender inequality? We were amazed in Al Ain, but not always for the right reasons.

UAE: Hatta

More excitement than we can handle in the adventure capital of Arabia.
