Celebrity Travel: Go away with Hannah Bahng

Travel / Celebrity Travel /

With her debut record, “The Abysmal EP,” indie artist Hannah Bahng showcases the kind of lyrical maturity that belies her youth. Her ethereal track, “Tonight’s the Night I Die to a Frank Ocean Song,” is a contemplative number that reflects on a real-life traumatic airplane incident. “I know it sounds kind of cringey,” the ...Read more

Rick Steves’ Europe: Burgundy’s inviting wine and barge culture

Travel / Rick Steves' Europe /

One of my favorite corners of France is Burgundy, a region overflowing with edible, drinkable, scenic, and floatable delights. Its rolling hills and a handful of sleepy villages have given birth to the superior wines and fine cuisine that are so quintessentially French.

The city of Beaune, snug within its medieval walls, makes a handy base for ...Read more

Taking the Kids: When newfound friendships lead the way

Travel / Taking The Kids /

Bailey Kilmer has friends all over the country and beyond, but she hasn’t met them by traveling. That’s because Bailey’s family owns the historic Vee Bar Ranch in Wyoming’s Snowy Range, about 20 miles west from Laramie along the banks of the Little Laramie River.

“It is really cool to know what ...Read more

Celebrity Travel: Go away with Ivan McClellan

Travel / Celebrity Travel /

Photojournalist and filmmaker Ivan McClellan said that growing up, he enjoyed watching westerns like “Gunsmoke” and “Bonanza.” However, he wondered why there weren’t any Black cowboys. “I rarely saw representation of people who looked like me in these shows,” said McClellan, 41. “When I discovered the unique blend of Black ...Read more

Rick Steves’ Europe: Cruising through history on the raging Rhine River

Travel / Rick Steves' Europe /

Jostling through crowds of Germans and tourists in the Rhine River village of Bacharach, I climb to the sundeck of the ferry and grab a chair. With the last passenger barely aboard, the gangplank is dragged in and the river pulls us away.

I’m captivated by the Rhine. There's a rhythm to the mighty river that merges with its environment: black...Read more

Taking the Kids: On a transatlantic cruise without the kids

Travel / Taking The Kids /

Boredom is not an option. Not on this Regent Seven Seas two-week transatlantic cruise from New York to Barcelona. Not even with seven days at sea, more than we have ever experienced without a port stop.

We are on the luxury cruise line’s newest ship, Grandeur, with just under 750 guests and 548 crew from ...Read more

Celebrity Travel: Go away with Epik High

Travel / Celebrity Travel /

South Korea’s most famous hip-hop group, Epik High, has created some of that country’s most influential music over the past two decades. Acclaimed for their clever lyrics – which tackle sociopolitical issues with biting wit and humor – the trio is in their element performing live. On their current world tour promoting their critically-...Read more

Rick Steves’ Europe: Iceland’s rugged beauty comes from within

Travel / Rick Steves' Europe /

Iceland's remote location and harsh climate aren't exactly welcoming. But its striking scenery, draped with glaciers and punctuated by craggy peaks and steamy geysers, makes this destination increasingly attractive to nature-loving travelers.

On one of my trips from Europe back to the US, I took advantage of Icelandair’s free stopover and ...Read more

Taking the Kids: Visiting a hot springs

Travel / Taking The Kids /

The Native Americans got it right. So did the down-and-outers making their way across the country in search of jobs during the Great Depression.

Native Americans have known the benefits of mineral hot springs for thousands of years. They named this area of Wyoming— now the tiny town of Saratoga, just ...Read more

Celebrity Travel: Go away with Camille Guaty

Travel / Celebrity Travel /

“Harold and the Purple Crayon” star Camille Guaty said that being cast as Junior Detective Silva in the film was serendipitous. “Becoming a mom was a really hard journey and I find it so magical that one of my first jobs as a mom was [this film],” the actress said from her Nashville home. “It has become one of my son’s favorite books...Read more

Rick Steves’ Europe: Artsy and urban Antwerp

Travel / Rick Steves' Europe /

Belgium falls through the cracks. It may be a little country, but it's one of Europe's big treats. While its capital, Brussels, is an international hub, the port city to the north – Antwerp – has more of a local identity. It’s an honest, what-you-see-is-what-you-get place, perhaps because it's in the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium called ...Read more

Celebrity Travel: Go away with Sarah Seltzer

Travel / Celebrity Travel /

With her debut novel, “The Singer Sisters” (out Aug. 6, 2024 from Flatiron Books), Sarah Seltzer weaves together a multi-generational story of an alt rocker and her folk legend mother. Full of fractured relationships, deceit, love and mystery, the page turner reads like a confessional full of music that readers can almost hear. “I had a ...Read more

Rick Steves’ Europe: Western Norway is nature’s magnificent showcase

Travel / Rick Steves' Europe /

Rugged is putting it mildly when it comes to 80 percent of Norway. Historically, it was a challenge to live here. That's why Vikings ventured south and so many emigrants left for America.

But I find excuses to return to Norway regularly. Three of my grandparents grew up there. I once told my TV producer, “So many people in Norway look like my...Read more

Taking the Kids: To Olympic City

Travel / Taking The Kids /

Welcome to Olympic City. Not Paris, where the quadrennial 2024 summer games open July 26. Olympic City USA is Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Fun fact: This is the first time the Olympics will be in Paris since 1924.

We picked up that fun fact and many others at the 60,000- square-foot United States Olympic and ...Read more

Celebrity Travel: Go away with Hymnson Chan

Travel / Celebrity Travel /

For stuntman-turned-actor Hymnson Chan, the transition was easy because his work doing stunts required acting skills. “ We have to sell hits to make them look more painful than they actually are,” said the Los Angeles-based filmmaker. “Or we have to maintain a certain emotion during scenes – like fear or panic – when doing a high fall....Read more

Rick Steves’ Europe: Croatia’s colorful coast

Travel / Rick Steves' Europe /

I love the knack Croatians have for taking a humble stretch of craggy shoreline and turning it into a wildly romantic bar or café. In the coastal town of Rovinj, several bars and restaurants offer tables atop the town's rocky seawall, and some provide you with a pillow – an invitation to find your own nook in the rocks overlooking the bay. As...Read more

Taking the Kids: To a dude ranch family reunion

Travel / Taking The Kids /

Michael Walker wasn’t impressed when his mom announced the family was going to a place called Paradise where there was no TV or electronic games.

“Sounds more like hell than Paradise,” the teen declared.

That was more than 30 years ago, and Michael Walker quickly changed his tune. His family has returned 13 times to homeandleisure/travel/takingthekids/s-3334707">Read more
