Venice hasn’t changed much since the last time I was here, twenty years ago. I was a teenager then; Venice was still, like, really old. It’s an interesting concept, this city on the water, where cars are replaced by boats… READ MORE
Little known fact (for Americans): Belgium has a coast line. And it’s pretty damn cute. James Ensor painted there. Jacques Brel sang there. It’s an inspiring piece of land. Very well known fact (for locals): the poor Belgians are not… READ MORE
Ibiza has a bad rep. It’s crammed with rowdy Brits who drink 24 hours straight. The clubs and parties are loud, sweaty and drug-fueled. And the beaches are infested with sagging tits and tattoos. And I will admit, half of… READ MORE
