Taiwan: Visiting Taipei 101
A landmark in Taiwan, Taipei 101 soars above the rest of the city’s skyscrapers with the appearance of a tall stalk of bamboo. This is because Taipei 101 was once the world’s tallest building - exceeded by the Burj Khalifa in 2007. What could fill so much space? Most...

We continued our drive northbound along the eastern border of Portugal. After driving many hours now over several days, we continue to ask ourselves: where are all the cars? From the moment we left bustling Lisbon we felt like everything quieted. We seemed to pass...
Evora: A Gem Close to Lisbon
Evora was one of my favourite towns on our trip to Portugal. The old town centre, a consistent flow of white yellow-trimmed buildings, is beautifully preserved and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Driving away from Lisbon and the coast, it also suddenly felt like the...
