Cafe des Artistes Luxembourg City is one of those cool nostalgic places you sort of stumble into out of the blue. In our case we stumbled into it with a friend, at night...out of the dark. Its a small piano bar located in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg. This is one of those intimate and romantic places that appeals to groups of all ages. It is not large, merely two rooms with a small bar. The drink of choice here is most definitely beer. This is the … [Read more...]
Rick’s Cafe, Negril – Jamaica – August 2010
Ricks Cafe Negil Jamaica is located in the popular tourism town of Negril.

For this very reason this is "the place" to be for watching the sun go down. In addition, Ricks is also home to the cliff jumpers, a group of daring young men who jump from trees … [Read more...]
Colca Canyon, Peru – July 2010

An introduction video is shown explaining the history that led up to the event as well as … [Read more...]
Visit Bangladesh – January 2010
Visit Bangladesh is certainly not a country you typically see in the tour brochures and magazines. Its not the current "hot spot" for travel and you would be hard pressed to find people who could quickly point out its exact location on a world map. However it is a country that has not been "polluted" with the bad side effects of tourism and this is uniquely refreshing in this increasingly "smaller" world where you can jump on a jet and be in most … [Read more...]
