There is a certain beauty to street food: it's simple and with one bite you have a true taste of the local culture. Some people even pick their destination based on how much street food they can get. But exotic street food doesn't have to be restricted to the alleyways you found it in. With a little creativity and daring in the kitchen, you can turn your own dinner table into the best foreign ...

As the end of each year approaches, I try to take stock of the preceding 12 months, to absorb and assess the adventures, inner and outer. Reviewing this year, I've been filled with gratitude and wonder to realize that this has been one of the most enriching, exhilarating years I've had in a long time, especially the past six months, when I managed to squeeze six special trips into an ...

June 27, Cours Saleya, Nice, France:
It's my last day in Nice, this vibrant capital of pleasure and art and ease on the Cote d'Azur, and I'm sitting in the Cours Saleya, site of the fruit and flower market where I was 11 days ago, at the start of this glorious re-immersion in the riches of the Riviera. There's a cold glass of vin rosé du Provence on my table, the sand-colored awning ...

Forget flying around Europe. At 30,000 feet it's impossible to truly experience the continent's remarkable landscapes. Rather than being shuttled around in a plane that only allows a birds-eye view, train trips immerse travelers in the terrain. There's a reason why trains are often thought of as the most romantic mode of transportation: riding the rails makes you feel more connected and in ...

Cours Saleya is a big public market in Nice, France, where all sorts of things, including the bright candy pictured here, can be purchased. I like this image, snapped by Flickr user Kumukulanui, for its bright colors and composition. Plus my teeth ache when I look at it. How often does an image engender such a visceral response?

Mar 18th, 2010 at 2:00PM: What would you do with 300,000 frequent flier miles in your account – not to mention enough hotel points to get you 10 days in the blissful destination of your choice? Your imagination is probably running wild, as mine did when I got my first travel-intensive gig a decade ago. I had visions of southern France: soaking in the Mediterranean sun, roulette in Monte Carlo and smoking Cuban cigars ...

Aug 9th, 2009 at 6:00PM: Imagine renting a seaside studio in the South of France. Each morning, you throw open the windows of your balcony to a jaw-dropping view of the seaside village below, punctuated by tiny sailboats and the luminous yellow-orange glow of the early morning sun. If this was your vision, it's been fulfilled by Flickr user Michael Joseph Goldst ...etc. My favorite element of this image is the sunlight - ...

Mar 23rd, 2009 at 6:00PM: I love this shot -- not just because it's so beautifully saturated with colour, or that it tells a story of that beautiful day in Nice, France, with the ice cream vendor below and the person looking through the window over her aired laundry, above -- but because it seems so typically French. It looks like a scene right out of Amélie. Thanks so much for sharing it in our Gadling Flickr ...

Sep 11th, 2007 at 2:55PM: Our friend Benji over at the Guardian has compiled a list of the top 10 hostels around the world. "When I say I'm staying in a hostel instead of a hotel, they think I'm subtlety telling them I have a drug problem," he writes. "But things have changed, people. Not all hostels are grubby dives run by people called Starchild." It's true; some of the cheapest and most unique places to rest your weary ...

Jan 6th, 2007 at 12:14PM: If I'm not mistaken I've posted some of Moody75's delicious dining pictures in the past. Perhaps we share a common interest in photographing our plates and maybe I am just a little bit hungry when selecting them, but they really do give you a sense of place. Something like this could surely be found in a French restaurant in NY someone, but Moody75 was lucky enough to nosh and photograph the ...
