Things to See and Do in Blackpool
A weekend in Blackpool is certainly worth consideration when searching for short breaks this year. From famous attractions such as Blackpool Tower to amazing museums and top-quality theatrical performances in the evening, you may be hard pressed to fit everything there is on offer in a single break! And while the seaside town attracts more visitors during the summer – when the weather tends to be best – there is plenty for you to see and do here over the course of a weekend whatever time of year you visit. Perhaps the most famous iconic attraction is Blackpool Tower, which stands at 518 ft tall and can be seen for miles around.

Thanksgiving in Sicily. Top Story - November 2022.
Heavenly aromas filled the air of our Sicilian townhouse with such density you could almost taste them. Conversation hummed in the air, a strange, beautiful medley of Italian and English from our Italian and American guests that was as familiar to me as breathing. After thirteen years in Sicily, I understood both, but I didn't have time to listen much, rushing around as I helped my parents with the finishing touches of the meal.

An Innocent Abroad
Nursing my kanelsnagle (cinnamon bun) at Zaggis on Frederiksboroggade and watching young Danes cycle past on their way to work, I have to admit I was feeling pretty chill. The Scandinavian word for contentment, hygge, came to mind and while its common to both Norway and Denmark, each country interprets it differently. The Norwegians think of hygge as simply a word meaning cozy. The Danes, on the other hand, take it one step further, incorporating hygge in the broad sense, into their national identity. The Danes are very, very chill.

How Spain changed my life
As a child, I had always hoped that one day I would get to travel the world. I have seen about half of the states in the US, and my wanderlust often drives me nuts. I'm talking about the feeling we get we see a plane soaring across the sky and taking its passangers to some unknown destination. That feeling of intense longing.
