Am I the only one who thinks that sounds dirty? Anyways, moving on… The first stop on the Columbus Food Adventures Coffee Tour was so great. I figured it would be hard to learn much more. I was wrong. Our second stop was Stauf’s Coffee Roasters. Stauf’s was the first micro-roaster in Columbus. […]
A lesson in Italian espresso drinks
I have talked about my love for coffee before. I think that traveling in Latin America where most countries drink Nescafe (no es café!) or some sort of coffee sludge hybrid turned me into a coffee snob. Note: You may think I’m crazy because much of the great coffee we have in the US […]
A unique outdoor art project
Since I returned home from my travel sabbatical, I have been impressed by the growth in my hometown of Columbus, Ohio. I do not just mean new construction and new businesses. I feel that there has been culture and lifestyle improvement. There are more local coffee roasters, new restaurants featuring locally-sourced ingredients, and more local […]
Ice Cream Crack (or making maple syrup)
When friends invited me out to their home to help them make maple syrup, I jumped at the opportunity. First of all, it is something interesting to do during the dreary, never-ending Ohio winter. Secondly, these people have automatic cool factor. They know how to make something completely from scratch, something that is not easy […]
I have discovered my travel future
A couple months ago, I became one of the last people I know to buy an e-reader. My friend Jeff, a long-term traveler I met in Buenos Aires, told me many times how much he loves his Kindle. My response was that I prefer a paperback and didn’t want to carry another electronic device. Turns […]
Grandeur of Buenos Aires: It’s all in the details
One of the tips I put in my Buenos Aires City Guide is to always keep an eye on the ground when you’re out walking. (Read this post if you want to know why.) But it can be really difficult to do that with all of the magnificent architectural details to catch your attention. Grandeur […]
One of the most beautiful bookstores in the world
When I first arrived, I immediately noticed the love for books in Buenos Aires. On public transportation,most people have a book to keep them occupied. When walking by parks, I always saw people sitting on a bench or relaxing on a blanket reading a book. I get it. They love books. I like this […]
Grandeur of Buenos Aires: The Monuments
In addition to the large, European-style buildings, the many ornate monuments also contribute to the grandeur of Buenos Aires. Some monuments were gifts from immigrant communities or other countries. Others were built to honor important figures in Argentine history. Many of the monuments scattered throughout the central barrios of the city have curious stories and […]
Photo Essay: Colorful Buenos Aires
One of the things I love about Latin America in how colorful the streets are, and Buenos Aires is no exception. The city is very different from most of what I experienced traveling through Central and South America, both the culture and the look of the city. Much of Buenos Aires still has European architecture, […]
Grandeur of Buenos Aires: The Buildings
The first time I arrived in Buenos Aires in 2010 (and every other time I have returned) I was amazed by the grand buildings throughout the central parts of the city. The grandeur never became just a part of the background for me. I always appreciated it and felt lucky to be living there. […]
