Thailand is a superlative of all things exotic and otherworldly. When I first saw the temple roofs along the Wats of the Chao Phraya River, I couldn't take my eyes off of the colorful mosaics, the reflections, the liberal use of jewel tones and gold leaf, the geometries

We've been hearing reports from Rome. It's already chaos with an unusually busy (and early) tourist season, the Jubilee in full swing, and a new Pope. We almost never recommend taking an August vacation in Italy (or in Southern Europe, for that matter). Americans are often

We've just returned from a month sunning ourselves in Portugal, and while maybe the country's viral surge in popularity peaked over a year ago, Lisbon remains a very cool (and very popular) destination today. Ironically, I have somewhat longingly looked back at the times during the

What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. Or so they say. Quite contrary to our usual publications which feature the very best on offer in the travel world, we thought we'd take a different approach this time: Edition Eleven is a collection of the travel worst.

These days, time files. It has been a full year since we started the Syllogi’s Travellers Club publication, and it only feels like yesterday that we were a bit anxious to hit “publish” on our first Edition! True to our inquisitive, exploratory, and overzealous nature to see & share

It was as early as 1893 when the American Pulitzer Prize-winner Wallace Stenger claimed that our National Parks were “America’s best idea.” Indeed, in just twenty one years since the establishment of the first park, Yellowstone, the visionaries of the day knew that memorializing North America’s iconic landscapes

There’s nothing quite like seeing the world through the eyes of your children. The way they light up at the things you might take for granted, watching them try new foods, or hear new music – makes you see things you have never seen before and changes your worldview. But

Feliz Ano Novo! ("Happy New Year!") Indeed, New Year’s is something very special in the only lusophone nation in the Americas. With millions dressed in white, jumping waves on the beach, and tossing gladiolas into the ocean, Brazil’s celebration is unlike any other as we detailed

It’s that time of year when we retreat. The warmth of day replaced by the warmth of fire places and twinkling lights. We cozy up to the intimacy of a well-worn blanket, and a cup of hot cocoa. And we dream of travel – to the places that inspire our

From the Southern tip of Africa, we journey to its most Northwestern corner and find Morocco – the other African nation that appears on many an American and European bucket list. For oft, Morocco in all its exotic texture has long been an intersection of worlds – of the African, on which

Food: Now, I think that is something we can all get behind! And this edition On Taste is our (and some of our members') favorite spots across the planet in which to indulge: The places we crave. The bites we yearn for once again. Moments with food that somehow
