On her 30th birthday, one writer decides to turn the tables on Mom – with a trekking trip in the Andes. Rain fell in gentle sheets as I carefully ascended a path of slick cobblestone steps toward Dead Woman’s Pass. At 13,779ft, it’s the highest point along Peru’s Inca Trail, and after two days of

Big food companies like to tout their efficiency, but these consolidated supply chains don’t necessarily create less
New York City evokes both high-rise luxury and savvy deals. And the best offer in town? The number of free attractions the Big Apple has to enjoy. Read on for our roundup of some of our favorite concerts, museums, tours and much more to take in, all of which are always (rather than only occasionally) free.

We headed to Awash with Rania Sheikh to learn more about the importance of injera within the Ethiopian community.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited national park in the United States, and traffic is heavy in its gateway towns of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, especially in the summer and on autumn weekends, when the leaves in the Smoky Mountains change color. Travelers driving to and from the park funnel through downtown Gatlinburg on Parkway/US 441,
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love the flavors of Mexican Street Corn. Buttery grilled corn-on-the-cob, mayo, salty Mexican cheese, fresh lime, garlic and powdered chile spice. It’s one of my favorite summer indulgences and a few years ago, I created a grilled corn “salad” side-dish with all those flavors plus some smoky bacon. It

Flight VS3 was around 40 minutes into the journey on Monday when a “rostering error” emerged, leading to the flight returning to London, an
Remember those two-week holidays when you wished you could’ve stayed longer? When you dreamt of spending days on end getting lost in the streets of a new city, returning to a favourite café until you’re counted as one of the locals, or having more time for day trips further afield? It seems retired travellers are
There’s a lot to love about Dear Bella Creamery—their pink scoop shop in Los Angeles, their unique plant-based ice creams, the fact that they just launched nationwide shipping so that people outside of LA can also try their sweet creations (more on that later)—but the thing that jumps out at me having interviewed the passionate
Few cities provoke as many confusing stereotypes and preconceptions as Marseille, a city that spent decades slumbering in the shadows as a “dirty, dangerous port city” and the “black sheep” of France. Yet contemporary Marseille sparkles. The ancient Greek harbor still retains that edgy, hedonistic mix of grit and grandeur, but with a dynamic cultural

(CNN) — There’s chocolate, and then there’s gianduiotto chocolate. An ancestor of Nutella, the melt-in-the-mouth treat is as rare as it is delicious. Like most renowned Italian artisan chocolate, gianduiotto originates from Piedmont, Italy, where it’s considered the “king of Italian chocolate.” Made of a rich paste consisting of fine cocoa mixed with the premium
Once mainly visited by volunteers, aid workers and backpackers on a budget, Guatemala has now made it onto the radar of trendsetters and Hollywood stars.

After the pandemic slowed down a bit, Paris Baguette, the global bakery chain, saw its sales in the U.S. rise and started an ambitious franchising effort.

(CNN) — Like many teenagers, Hannah Yeardley, a 17-year-old living in Dunedin, New Zealand, babysits in her spare time. The only difference is that it’s not children she’s looking after, it’s sea lion pups. From December through February, during the breeding season and while the newborns are at their most vulnerable, Yeardley wanders down the
