Explore Europe Beyond the Obvious
Practical Europe guides from hospitality insiders for travelers who want comfortable stays, memorable food and intelligent itineraries without tourist-trap fluff. (Under construction – guides coming soon)
Bulgaria and the Balkans
Centuries of layered history, dramatic untouched landscapes, and vibrant cultures without the heavy overtourism and high price tags of the rest of Europe.
Italy
… where every place is more beautiful than the last. More history and art than you could possibly wish for, and food and wine that is meant to be appreciated slowly. Join us for the Italy Italians actually go to.
Canary Islands
Aaaah the Canaries… eternal spring weather and anything you wish for a good life – sun, fresh seafood and local tropical fruit, beaches and accessible volcano park. We come back every winter and explore a new island to keep things fresh.
Europe rewards a little research and planning. Distances that look small on a map can mean a different language, currency, or culture by lunchtime — and that’s exactly what makes it extraordinary. Whether this is your first trip across the Atlantic or your fifth, here’s where to start. We are here to inspire you to discover Europe beyond the obvious, explained by people who understand hospitality and how European trips actually work.
