Why Choose the Lap of Luxury: Four Seasons Resort in Maui

by

Four Seasons Pools in Maui Hawaii

Traveling is a necessity to living fully, to expanding your horizons and partaking in life, if ever so briefly, beyond your immediate surroundings and perhaps beyond your own country and continent.

Traveling away from home and to new places can change your thoughts, sharpen your senses, introduce you to wonderful people and places, and create a remarkable experience in the process.

If you ask me, which you haven’t but I’ll say it anyway, it is imperative that you travel. And once in a while, staying in the lap of luxury in your far away destinations will make all the difference. [Read more…] about Why Choose the Lap of Luxury: Four Seasons Resort in Maui

From One Unforgettable Tenor to 3 Sublime Operas

by

Our experiences are not only made up of what we have lived through. Sometimes, experience stems from that which we did not do.

Pavarotti wax statue at Madame Tussaud

I never had the chance to watch Luciano Pavarottiperform live. I regret that bitterly. The immaculate voice of this opera tenor was a gift to this world and who knows when, if ever, another one like him will raise our spirits and touch our senses as deeply, as easily, and as unforgettably as the phenomenal Pavarotti. It is through this regret, this missed opportunity for not knowing how much time I had with to see the unforgettable tenor live someday, that my appreciation and curiosity for the opera has stemmed.

8 Brilliant Ways to Immerse in London’s Arts and History

by

The bleak of winter can be a heavy burden on the soul. The sunless skies, the freezing rain, the brutal wind, the scenery of naked trees stripped of all life until the warmer seasons. However do we make it to spring year after year without losing heart?

For me, it is taking refuge in the richness of the arts, the mystique of history and the warmth of theater in the city. It is travel to a city far more frigid and sunless than home to find the warmth of soul for these winter months. A city where even on a second visit, the abundance of history and the wealth of arts and theater is simply astounding. A city so blessed with rich museums, grand cathedrals and flabbergasting talent in the theaters that you indeed forget about the weather, the traffic, the noise and perhaps even your problems at home for just a little while. The timeless city of London, England.

Buenos Aires: 17 ways to delight in Argentina’s capital

by

Tango dancers in San Telmo ArgentinaSometimes we put off some of the most obvious things on our bucket list for an unusually long time. We cannot explain it beyond the excuse that we just haven’t come around to doing them. Over 8 years ago, in a small Mexican restaurant that has since shut down, Argentine tango found me. I say it found me because I was just looking to learn a few dance steps for my upcoming wedding, not pursuing a life-long passion, a dance with which I have had a sweet relationship, and just as relationships go, it has evolved through many ups and downs, highs and lows for nearly a decade. Even so, one thing always remained certain: Someday, we were going to see and experience Buenos Aires, the city that gave us the dance and the music we love.

Classical Music infused with Comedy by the remarkable Igudesman & Joo

by

Igudesman-and-Joo

I fell in love with classical music when I watched the unforgettable Igudesman and Joo in a small theater in North Carolina on a Thursday night in summer 2009. Alexander Pope once wrote that the theater aspires to wake the soul by gentle strokes of art – to raise the genius and to mend the heart. And this, the remarkable duo achieved unequivocally well that night. [Read more…] about Classical Music infused with Comedy by the remarkable Igudesman & Joo
