Hotels vs. Riads in Morocco for Families
Before our first family trip to Morocco, I didn’t fully understand the difference between riads and hotels. I’d heard the words riad, kasbah, riad but wasn’t sure what made them unique. As a mom, I cared most about one thing: what’s actually better for my kids?

Top 10 colonial hotels in sri lanka
Sri Lanka, once known as Ceylon, carries a rich colonial legacy shaped by Portuguese, Dutch, and British rule. This history is beautifully preserved in a number of colonial-era hotels scattered across the island.

Absolved of All Sins!
We went on a day trip to Armenia with my son and friend Katie to explore its apostolic monasteries. Our first stop, Akhtala Monastery, had a monument to Armenian-Georgian friendship in the form of two rings joined by a pomegranate, the national fruit of both countries.

Ski Trips I’ll Always Remember
I’m a university student, and most days my head feels full before I even get out of bed. There’s always an assignment I haven’t finished, a reading I skimmed too quickly, or an email I’ve been avoiding. Winter is when that mental noise gets louder—but it’s also when skiing gives me a way out.

When the Sky Decides: The Invisible Power of Weather. AI-Generated.
Every day begins with a simple habit: checking the weather. Whether through a phone app, a glance out the window, or a morning news update, météo quietly guides our decisions before we even realize it. We choose our clothes, plan our journeys, and set expectations for the day based on what the sky promises. Yet weather is far more than a practical concern—it is an invisible power that influences how we live, feel, and adapt to a changing world.
