Located right on the Mediterranean Sea, the Marina Hotel offers great access to swimming, sun-bathing and sailing. Only a few steps separate the hotel’s lobby with the warm sand of Tel Aviv’s prime beaches. The location of the Marina Hotel is its best feature, in my opinion, and the rooftop pool and bar do a […]

Thankfully, a waitress invited us in, giving assurance that this indeed was a vegetarian restaurant despite the very convincing photographs to the contrary. I’m so glad we accepted her offer as our […]

Buddha Burgers is an eatery that, in our opinion, perfectly personifies the vegan lifestyle. While we find many vegan restaurants focus solely on the health advantages of a meatless diet, Buddha Burgers is different.

With its floor seating, 24 Rupee’s […]

Based on the recommendation of friends familiar with Siem Reap, we headed to the Peace Cafe, and […]
