Travelers flock to Central America for its beaches, and Honduras, spanning the isthmus from the Caribbean Sea to the Pacific Ocean, has some of the best, spread along over 800km (500miles) of coastline...

While housing was once the prime real estate of peer-to-peer rental services, there’s no shortage of Airbnb-style apps that provide access to everything from RVs and jet skis to a family’s worth of well-vetted camping equipment. Since anyone can host on these sharing platforms, it opens the doors for more options for your family vacation...

Looking to venture outside the popular tourist bubble? Honduras is a country with so much to see – you can hike through tropical rainforests, cloud forests and mountains, paddle around mangrove swamps, rivers and lakes or visit Mayan archaeological sites overflowing with ancient secrets...

Summer is nearly here, which means it's the ideal time to relax with a spritz cocktail. Your basic spritz recipe includes sparkling wine, soda water, and an amaro — a bitter liqueur. It’s that last ingredient that varies depending on your taste and style, from the sweet elderberry flavor of Saint Germain to the bitter red hue of Campari...

With the return of warmer weather comes the need to cool down and chill outside—preferably with a nice, cold beer. Camping is one pastime that’s always better with a beverage, however, with the beating sun and the lack of air conditioning, you’ll need some help keeping your brews cold. The solution? A proper camping beer growler...

Everybody needs a little spice in their lives, whether it be a squirt of Cholula on a taco, or a generous sprinkle of red pepper flakes on a pizza. This also applies to cocktails, from spicy margaritas to fiery bloody marys — and even in cocktails that aren’t traditionally spicy. These days, one need not reach for pepper flakes or sauces to spice up those cocktails, because...

It’s no surprise that corn, the crop that manages to find its way onto the ingredient lists of many of our food items, is one of the main ingredients in the production of fine liquor. Corn is the primary grain used in bourbon, and it contributes to the mixed grain mash bills of many other spirits, including corn whiskeys and even some vodkas and gins. However...

The state of Maine may conjure up images of steamy red lobsters, lush green forests, pink boulder cliffs, and lighthouses rising up from a rugged coastline along the deep blue sea. Those colorful, mental postcards become a reality with an actual visit to America’s most northeast state—and all come to a climax in Acadia National Park...

Take a trip to Asturias, one of the autonomous communities of northern Spain, and you’ll encounter what appears to be a performance every time someone pours a glass of hard cider...

When I was biking in Spain along the Senda del Oso — Spanish for “Trail of the Bear” — I thought it was just a cute name for a casual path through a scenic valley. I didn’t realize that on this trail I would encounter an actual bear — the Cantabrian brown bear — namesake of the greenway...

There has always been a harmonious, almost musical relationship between food and wine. When dishes are paired with wines properly, there’s a synergy of complementary tastes and textures that elevate a mere meal into a concerto...

The holidays are upon us once again, and with them comes the annual ritual of brainstorming gift ideas. For the wine lovers on your list, the gift of wine is a no-brainer. But if you’re uncertain of what kind to actually get, look no further than wines from the Côtes du Rhône region of southeastern France...

With air travel at an extreme low due to the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the busiest hubs in the world is now nearly empty. Erik and Tomás are taking their bikes down to New York's John F. Kenedy International Airport to cycle around the terminals that are normally teeming with people...

As Frank Sinatra once sang about New York, “If you can make it there, you’ll make it anywhere.” But can you make it there, traveling on your own?

Having been to almost every state in the USA – I’ll get to you one day, North Dakota – it dawned on me that I’d never been to Hawaii. Pop culture had conditioned me to think of the 50th state as a paradise where women wore hula skirts, men wore Hawaiian shirts, and tourists wore leis. Of course, you can’t believe everything you see on TV. And so, I set out to visit Hawaii to discover it was everything I’d thought it would be – and more...
