Whether heading back to the classroom or back to a digital device this fall, it is important to be prepared. Get your children set up for academic success with the following resources and gear:
All mountains are beautiful, but there’s something extra magical about the Dolomites in northern Italy. Their sheer rock faces, towering pinnacles and jagged limestone peaks give them a look like no other. Although considered part of the Alps, the Dolomites are shaped differently.
Surrounded by the frigid waters of the North Sea, Atlantic Ocean, English Channel and Irish Sea, the beaches in the U.K. aren’t quite as warm as those in the sun-drenched Mediterranean. However, there are plenty of stunning gems to be found, particularly along the eastern coastline.
From ziplining to zoos, there’s no shortage of things to do along the German Wine Road, a glorious stretch of wine country in southeastern Rhineland-Palatinate.
Steeped in medieval lore and forever immortalized by Geoffrey Chaucer, the incredible market town of Canterbury is nothing short of mesmerizing. Travel 90 minutes outside of London and you’ll be whisked away into another realm.
Traveling solo, especially when lucky enough to live overseas, is a dream shared by many. Getting lost in Tuscany among the hilly vineyards, strolling through London’s bustling markets or just catching some sun along the Mediterranean coastline can be cause for daydreaming wanderlust.
The list of European travel destination hotspots goes on and on. From Rome, Paris and London to Madrid, Budapest and Lisbon, there isn’t much mention of the delightful country of Liechtenstein. However, you shouldn’t rule out this beautiful place!
The New Year ushers in goals and resolutions. If yours included getting in shape and exploring Europe a bit more, why not combine the two? The continent is brimming with hiking trails crisscrossing between countries.
You’ve visited Europe’s most impressive landmarks and conquered several of its stunning capital cities, which is exactly as it should be. Now that you’re familiar with Europe's cultural side, could it be time to explore some of the continent’s natural wonders?
That classic combination of wine and hiking can be yours if you’re up for the trek to Schriesheim, an appealing town along the Bergstrasse on Feb. 2. This low-lying range of mountains is found just north of Heidelberg.
For many, Transylvania conjures up images of vampires, werewolves and other creatures of the night. I have survived Halloween in Transylvania and discovered that the real Romania is far more fascinating, and spookier, than the folklore.
Land of legends
When I was a little girl, I looked forward to curling up next to my sister most Sunday evenings to watch the weekly showing of “The Magical World of Disney” on my parents’ small, staticky, pre-HD television.
Looking for the perfect day trip without breaking the bank? Nestled between the banks of the Rhine River and the Hochstein Mountains is a picturesque village that seems to be pulled right from a Grimm Brothers’ fairy tale.
When I was little, I loved celebrating two New Years – the more well-known version on Jan. 1 and the lesser-known Chinese New Year sometime between mid-January and early February.
