goals

Cultural Etiquette:
The conflicts from 1992-1996 were difficult for everyone here, so it is a good
idea for foreigners to avoid weighing in on these topics.
Palestine
Palestine: dont refrain from visiting this destination in spite what you have
heard. It is safe, people are friendly and are eager to welcome visitors
despite what youve heard in the media.
Israel
Kids are kids
wherever they
are..it seems
they could
care less about
the heavy
political issues
that divide a
city so beloved
and so
controversial
Jerusalem,
Jerusalem
So many
crossroads of
faith culture
and economy,
everything
seems to be
happening at
the same time,
that is part of
the beauty of
Israel.
Macau
Cities to See:
Varna
Bansko
Sofia
Bulgaria is full of untapped wilderness. From the slopes
of Mount Vitosha which envelope the capital, to the
Black Sea shores and our personal favorite, the
affordable and untouched ski destination of Bansko:
North Cyprus
Romania
Hearty
Romanian
food, elegant
surroundings
and live
classical music
make Cara Cul
Bere the most
memorable
restaurant in
Bucharest.
Bahamas
China
China is already a new experience in itself, but Shanghai and Beijing are
just the beginning. Weve seen deserts, plains, forests, mountains and
even the Southernmost tropical shores which you see here: Sanya, home
to luxury hotels, golf courses and tropical holidays.
Do you
associate
China with
pollution? Not
in Dalian, this
sparkling gem
of the
Northeast
offers
beautiful
coastal views
and urban
loveliness.
Hangzhou is a city
of surreal beauty.
Just a few hours
inland from
Shanghai you find
a massive city
build around a
scenic lake with
captivating
nature. China has
taught us that
theres always
another surprise
to find no matter
how often we go.
Colombia
This land of
magical realism
is a place where
the vibrant
colors of nature
and society
reflect an inner
happiness and
levity towards
life that people
share. Colombia
always feels like
coming home to
good friends.
The lovely Baltics of Northern Europe are small countries and capitals that have
unique personalities and customs. Riga is a fascinating city whose cultural
identity can be seen in the cuisine, social life, proud heritage and love of music
and art
Kazakhstan
This
mountainous
and massive
country has
remained quite
distant from
travel
itineraries. We
found a society
with strong
traditions and
major
developments
in industry,
luxuries and
lifestyle.
A view of the
impressive
mountains
which
surround the
largest city in
the country:
Almaty
The Ritz
Carlton tower
and nearby
shopping
center offer
some of the
citys top
luxury
experiences.
Egypt
Alexandria
with its scenic
harbor and
impressive
history is the
gateway to the
Mediterranean
Brazil
Brazil is a fascinating and huge country, it can open your eyes to live life more fully.
Brazilians love the simple things, conversation, food, their bodies, nature, but all of these
things are best when shared, social interaction is not a burden but a joy here.
Croatia
Traveling in
Croatia teaches
you to slow down
and enjoy life.
The intense
natural beauty is
surrounded
everywhere by
equally
fascinating
towns, harbors
and vineyards.
Each Croatian
town is like a
temple of stone,
it gives a sense
of protection
and intimacy
while showing
the great skill
and civilization
that has been
present here for
Millennia. We
marveled at the
history most of
all in Croatia
Morocco
This heartland of the Caucasus impressed us mostly for its raw beauty, strong spa
culture, impressive wine collection and thousands of years of civilization.
Vietnam
Vietnam is so much
more than jungle
treks. We found
colonial history,
proud traditions,
modern cities and
truly genuine and
friendly locals who
are proud of their
country and its
constantly growing
economy.
Panama
The name Dubai evokes a sense of a futuristic city and a modern day marvel. This
was certainly our introduction to the UAE and we found so much more waiting
for us. After having explored all seven of the Emirates, we can say they are as
diverse and unique as any collection of individuals. Abu Dhabi is the up and
coming attraction. Ras Al Khaimah is the quiet luxury escape, Sharjah is a lesser
known but equally beautiful member. The UAE is a place of hospitality, diversity
and vision.
The Waldorf Astoria in
Ras Al Khaimah is an
example of the UAEs
booming and trend setting
hospitality and tourism
industry.
Maldives is so remote
and so luxurious it
seemed as if traveling
there would always be
just a dream. Good
planning, hard work
and an unwillingness
to quit made getting
here a reality for us.
The Most Serene Republic of San Marino is one of the worlds smallest
countries. Completely encircled by Italy it shares many customs and
traditions, but the magic of the place is distinctive and the history fascinating.
Our ascent to the mountain fortress was enlightening and breathtaking.
Standing as a republic since the year 301 C.E. this unique corner of Europe has
fascinating museums, defining customs, food and a very established identity
which is a wonder for travelers.
South Africa
The
immensity
of land and
the
diversity of
two oceans
makes
South
Africa a
place
where we
redefined
our sense of
panorama.
The
country
could take
a lifetime
to explore
and thats
what makes
it so
appealing,
new people,
new places
and new
experiences
every time
Costa Rica
When we encountered nature in a pure and vivid form in Costa Rica, we were
changed by it. From the lush jungles, to the ever friendly population to the fresh
ingredients in every meal, the country is a symphony of life and it allowed us to be
more grateful and conscious of personal health and wellbeing.
Cartago, Costa Rica
Montenegro
Montenegro
Tunisia brings
the wonders of
North Africa, the
history of
civilizations and
the beauty of the
Mediterranean
all into one
place. This short
jump from
Europe showed
us you dont
have to go far to
see a whole new
world.
Malta
The island is a
place of
extremes, so
much packed
in a small
territory, from
extreme
religiosity to
some of the
most vibrant
night life
scenes of
Europe.
