Know how to eat? It sounds like a rudimentary task that we are born knowing. So why do you need to travel to Mexico to learn it? As a food and travel writer, I’ve spent more than two decades training my palate. I can identify spices in a curry, tell you whether a croissant was […]
When I signed up for a chimpanzee trek in Uganda’s Kibale National Park, I expected an adventure tracking primates through dense forest and a challenging hike. I expected to learn about primates, conservation, and perhaps a few interesting facts about our closest living relatives. What I did not expect was to come away questioning everything […]
When you book an African safari, you’re probably thinking about seeing lions in the Serengeti, elephants wandering beneath ancient baobab trees, and fiery sunsets that seem to stretch across the entire horizon. But what if your trip could do more than create memories? What if it could help a child stay in school, restore a […]
Twelve years ago, when I traveled to Greenland and later wrote Beato Goes To Greenland, people asked me the same question: “Why Greenland?” Back then, it wasn’t on bucket lists. There were no viral reels of glowing icebergs. No nonstop flights from the United States. No trending Arctic cruise routes. Just a massive white landmass on […]
Women’s Small Group Trip to Greece (September 2026): A Curated Cultural Journey Beyond the Tourist Trail Greece has always been a place where stories unfold over long meals, where culture lives in everyday rituals, and where travel feels deeply personal. This September, I’m inviting you to experience it with me— not as a tourist, but […]
If you had asked me a decade ago whether I’d feel comfortable traveling through Saudi Arabia alone as a woman, my answer would have been complicated. Back then, the country felt like a place you heard about more than you visited, and if you did go, it came with a mental checklist of rules: escorts for women, separate “family” areas […]
A First-Person Guide That Busts Myths, Challenges Media Narratives, and Celebrates Modern China If you’ve been paying attention to the headlines, you might think traveling to China right now is complicated, restrictive, or even intimidating.

From altitude scares to visa surprises, here’s what I wish I knew before my trip to Bolivia. Traveling to Bolivia is one of the most rewarding experiences a traveler can have—otherworldly landscapes, Indigenous cultures that have remained beautifully intact, and a level of authenticity you rarely find in today’s global tourism circuit. But it’s also […]
As the season of giving approaches, more people are realizing that the best gifts don’t just bring joy to the receiver—they also make a difference in the world.

After trekking for four days through the Salkantay Pass to Machu Picchu, trading mountain mist for rainforest humidity felt like stepping into another world. My body was ready for rest, but my curiosity had other plans. So, I set off for a different kind of adventure, one that promised not ruins or relics, but unfiltered […]
Haida Gwaii—literally “Islands of the People” in the Haida language—is an archipelago of islands off the northern Pacific coast of British Columbia, Canada, positioned like a torch beneath Alaska’s panhandle. Though formerly known as the Queen Charlotte Islands, it was officially reverted in 2010 to honor the Haida Nation’s enduring presence for over 14,000 years. […]
Accra, Ghana’s vibrant coastal capital, is the kind of city that makes you want to slow down, listen closely, and take it all in. In just two days here, I discovered that Accra is more than a gateway to West Africa — it’s a living tapestry of history, culture, and flavor that leaves you feeling […]
When you picture Italy, you probably imagine bowls of steaming pasta, lively piazzas, and the kind of food memories that stick long after the trip ends. For me, one of the most unforgettable ways to experience an Italian culinary journey wasn’t in a restaurant at all — it was at someone’s dining table, thanks to Cesarine, […]
When you think of bucket‑list wildlife encounters, few experiences rival locking eyes with a polar bear in its natural habitat.

Their commitment to conservation, Indigenous cultures and creature comforts […]
