Aguas Calientes, Peru

Posted on September 27, 2011 by Admin of TBJ

How do you end up in Aguas Calientes, Peru? You’ve either come there to spend the night so that you can visit Machu Picchu, which is only a 15 minute switch-back ride up the mountain on the west side of the city, or perhaps you’ve just trekked the Inca Trail and are looking for a [...]

Great Eat: La Bombeta, Barcelona, Spain

Posted on April 26, 2011 by Admin of TBJ

While you’re poking around in the Barceloneta area of Barcelona, you might as well veer off the beaten path (perhaps even with a newly-minted sorta-local, like your Barcelona-dwelling sibling) and take in some tapas, one of the few “Spanish” cultural things the prideful Catalan region of Spain still keeps (along with their lispy Castellano Spanish, [...]

Plymouth, England, UK

Posted on February 22, 2011 by Admin of TBJ

In one of his comedy routines, Eddie Izzard remarks, regarding the pilgrim voyage to America: “They sailed from Plymouth and landed in Plymouth – how lucky is that?” As always, Izzard brings the laughs, but it is kind of cool to stand on the place the pilgrims left from waaaay back in 1620. And you [...]

LR/Great Eat: Kashmir; Louisville, KY

Posted on January 25, 2011 by Admin of TBJ

Check your Urban Spoon app, Google it, Yelp it, Yahoo it – everyone agrees and this Louisville local can concur – Kashmir is Louisville’s best Indian restaurant, hands down. It’s won the local independent paper, the LEO‘s, “Best Indian Restaurant” every year since 2002; the only reason it didn’t win in 2010 was due to [...]

As you make your way through the mountains of North Carolina, a stop in Asheville, NC is a definite must; it’s a charming Southern city with strong traces of mindful living buried in the town’s quirky fabric.

St. Patrick’s Day Parade, Chicago, IL

Posted on November 23, 2010 by Admin of TBJ

There’s far too much of Chicago to condense in a short travel entry, and I haven’t been to the city enough to feel confident in giving it a thorough review. But Chicago is great; the muscular, midwestern attitude begets a friendly atmosphere, and the public transportation system rivals NYC’s in terms of expedience and character. [...]

Great Eats: Unnammed, Le Peninsula de Azuero, Panama

Posted on October 19, 2010 by Admin of TBJ

The Los Santos region of Panama is about as old-school Panama as you can get, though the area sees enough tourists for Carnival that you can get by with pigeon Spanish. But going past Las Tablas, the center of the region, to Le Peninsula de Azuero, will get you to some of the most beautiful [...]

JR: Moab, Utah

Posted on September 8, 2010 by Admin of TBJ

Moab has become a popular destination for rock climbers and mountain bikers over the years. It is home to arguably the best slickrock bike trails in the country, and Arches National Park plays host to other-worldly sandstone formations and millions of motor-tourists (many of whom rarely step far from the car); however, if you’re not [...]

Beirut, Lebanon is one of the hottest cities in the world now. NY Times ranked it the number 1 city to visit in 2009 , while [...]
