Without a Care in the World! I have visited some monasteries in my travels but there was one experience that came close to being truly spiritual. ‘Spiritual’ might mean different things for different people but for me it is a moment when your entire being brims with a sense of beauty, happiness and peace.

I love Turkish coffee and its one experience I really look forward to on any of my trips to Turkey. As I enter the alleys of Istanbul my nose eagerly awaits the whiff of freshly ground beans, and my taste-buds yearn for the thick sweet strong brew. Turkish coffee is oh-so-very different from the instant coffee, or even the South Indian filter coffee that we are used to. It is made from freshly r...

Spanish Wine: Spain has more land under vines than any other country in the world, so it will come as no surprise that almost every meal is accompanied by wine.
