Like any major city, Paris can [...]

 
If in Paris between now and Sunday, have a look at the Affordable Art Fair.
While the term is incredibly relative when pertaining to art,  the traveling Affordable Art Fair hopes to foster — with its varying prices — the purchase of pieces coming from all over the world; about half of the galleries represented are [...]

The first time I came to Paris, I was only here for 8 hours and the only thing I saw was the Eiffel Tower and the most amazing cafe in the history [...]

I could write sonnets about falafel. I could create art inspired by it (and have, in an attempt to rally accomplices for my near-daily trek to le Marais, God’s gift to falafel lovers)
You may have had it in some third-generation Greek restaurant in Astoria or second-rate vegetarian cafe. Don’t be fooled. Fresh, street-side falafel is of a [...]

But stop, and have a seat. In [...]

Peggy Retka has had a passion for travel ever since her first international experience. When she was fifteen, Peggy traveled in France for three weeks with her high school language teachers. She discovered a fascinating world that offered different experiences and perspectives from her hometown of Hastings, MN. From that point on, she was hooked.
