Iceland’s steamiest geothermal sights

Iceland, formed long ago by volcanoes, is known for its otherworldly landscape, with steaming fields and percolating mud. The volcanic activity produces naturally heated water, which Icelanders have cleverly harnessed not just as an energy source, but for thermal baths and pools. Geothermal experiences — both visual and immersive — are worth seeking out on a visit here. Wandering through the colorful terrain of a geothermal field is a classic Icelandic treat. The most visited geothermal sight is Geysir, home […]

Helping others

Raise your hand if you know what feels the best in the world? I know that you probably have answers popping in your head like donning on a new dress, sporting a pair of red-bottomed heels, bagging the new job, and the like. All of these feelings are wonderful, indeed, but do you know what tops them all? Well, that is the feeling about helping others and making others happy. There is no jollier feeling in the world than making […]

Five things you should know before purchasing auto insurance

Unless you live in New Hampshire, it's mandatory to have auto insurance. It's something you shouldn't think twice about when it comes to your vehicle. Not only does it fulfill all legal requirements, but it also helps you financially should anything bad happen to your vehicle. Caveat emptor -- buyer beware -- applies when looking for auto insurance, because it's not always easy to determine which companies are good and which companies are terrible.

COMMENTARY: OK, we’ll bite. Why doesn’t Bill Gates believe we should take vacations and weekends off?

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- I have been reading a MarketWatch article "Bill Gates doesn’t believe that everyone should take vacations and weekends off" and have read it several times over for the past hour. I have to admit I am a bit confused about the deceptive headline alone. Microsoft co-founder and billionaire Bill Gates stated during a conference last weekend that "he didn't really believe in vacations" while building his tech giant from the foundation up. He was essentially stating before […]

Tasty and convival tapas in Spain

When it comes to eating in Spain, I love gathering around the table or bar for tapas — a parade of small dishes served family-style. I never tire of them. The experience is like an edible scavenger hunt, where I collect small portions of seafood, salads, meat-filled pastries, and deep-fried tasties, and piece them together for a light evening meal. My tapas memories are vivid: In the heart of Spain's Andalucía region, on a warm summer evening, I elbow up […]

How travel has evolved to provide a more authentic experience

Modern American families no longer travel just to change their place of stay. Each trip has a specific purpose. Until a worthy goal for travel is born, many simply postpone them. When almost everything is available and always “at hand”, the sophisticated consumer no longer wants “just like that.” This can be compared to a refrigerator. When it is almost empty, all that is there is suitable food. When the refrigerator is stably full, we have a confusion in our […]
