I’m writing the beginning of this article in an AirBnB in the elegant La Condesa suburb of Mexico City. The trip is a family adventure – I might not have had reason come here otherwise. It’s a vast city – as you’d expect with more than nine million residents. And, despite all those souls, the […]

I knew there was something special as soon as I got there, on an evening after sundown. I immediately whipped out my phone to capture the moment. It was a brand new phone.

Our last triple digit post (#555. A Force for positive change) was a success.

OK, this is a bold statement. But let me clarify this more: * “in Europe”, “as far as I know” and “in my opinion”. Let me explain… I stumbled upon Lisbon a couple of years ago during a business trip. Like many others, I didn’t have it high on my travel radar. From […]
