New Tour Caters To LGBTQI Travelers in Porto

Porto – most famous for creating port wine – is naturally attractive to queer travelers.

The city is charming with its collection of Baroque, Brutalist, Gothic, medieval mosaic, neo-classical Beaux Art architecture to contemporary designs nestled among the hills at the mouth of the Douro River.

Porto’s wealth today comes from its rich historic cobblestone streets and architecture and the heart of its people who love the city and want to show it off.

Oh The Audacity! Date Night That Will Make Both Of You Happy In San Jose

On our weekly date night, I dared to venture out and suggest something new. Babes was up for it. We hadn’t explored San Pedro Square in San Jose, California beyond the San Pedro Square Market, so, I made a reservation at the Firehouse No. 1 Gastropub (69 North San Pedro Street, 408-287-6969, , firehouse1.com).

Walk In The Shoes Of A Refugee At Forced From Home Exhibit

Many refugees live in the San Francisco Bay Area, but not many people know the journey that refugees, asylum seekers, and people fleeing violence in their home countries take to seek a safe home.
A traveling interactive exhibit, Forced From Home, coming to Oakland’s Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center parking lot (east side) October 30 through November 5, will give local residents a simulated guided experience to better understand the journey people escaping horrific conditions in their home countries undertake.

Island Urban Chic and Beaches This is the Santo Domingo Experience

Can you name the largest city in the Caribbean? It’s not San Juan, Havana, or Kingston. It’s an often-overlooked municipality in an often-overlooked country: Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic.

Many visitors skip right over this city of 1.5 million and fly into Punta Cana, which is the gateway to the country’s eastern resorts. This is a shame, because while the city can be a little challenging (starched and pressed Nassau, it is not), Santo Domingo offers some of the best dining, nightlife, and sightseeing in the West Indies.

Joz Ve Loz’s Chef Serves Up Crave-Worthy Delights

Hot, Joz ve Loz is, but I wouldn’t expect anything less from the women behind this destination restaurant, especially in its new location. The restaurant moved to the Florentin, an artsy and edgy emerging neighborhood in the southern part of Tel Aviv, March 2015.

It is well worth the adventure journeying away from the action of Tel Aviv’s fashionable northern neighborhoods to dine at Joz ve Loz.
