I have done some rather "radical" activities lately ... and I point out this fact because I am a very fearful person. A while ago, I wrote a post here on the blog about my experience doing a trapeze class here in New York -…
Sometimes I wonder how technology has dramatically improved the way we plan and how we enjoy our travels. Of course that everybody had fun years ago, when the internet didn't exist and the resources we had were limited to paper maps, magazines, and travel guides.…
When the winter is saying goodbye and temperatures begin to rise, the season that I love starts: the picnic season! Here in New York, this practice is very, very common and I confess I love it! Few simple things in life are as great as sitting…
Manhattan is surrounded by two rivers - Hudson River and East River. In addition, New York is located on the east coast, very close to the Atlantic Ocean - we have beaches in Queens and Brooklyn, as well as Long Island (Hamptons). Boat tourism is…
