  It is timeless to walk in Italy like some kind of poetry, it reads line by line. Nothing can be more than in the paths of Cinque Terre. These five villages Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore are located along the Ligurian coast and are connected by rugged tracks that are facing the sea. Their upbringing is like entering into a water color portrait because it swings into various colors with each movement.   I would begin my walk quite early in the day, when the morning-mist would be rising off the precipices. It was silvery sea water, and the atmosphere was lightly salty-lemon.  The best known is the one leading between Monterosso and Vernazza, and well it deserves it; it contains a combination of steep ascents, narrow steps of stone, and sceneries so beautiful that you are almost mesmerized by them. I went through small gardens as well, grapevines hanging around wooden stakes, and locals returning with baskets of the products along the impossibl...

  It has that sort of silence that falls on a Japanese park just before the fireworks start, that between when everybody has got their place settled, the air is red with grilled corn and yakitori, and even the cicadas appear to have stopped. It is summer in Japan and fireworks festivals - hanabi taikai - take place to their full extent.   I can still recall my first one, in Osaka.

Families, and couples and parties of teenagers were making themselves comfortable all around us, talking in low tones, and waving paper fans. The entire city seemed to be beating in unison. Everything came to a standstill when the initial firework broke the door to the sky. There wa...

I will say it, it is not my strong point to pack. I am the type of a traveler who once packed half of a wardrobe into a suitcase just in case only to find out that I did not use half of it.   Throughout the years, a number of insane airport rushes and one bad overweight bag fee later, I have learned that it is not about packing more but packing better. The following are the three packing tips, which have indeed transformed the way I travel.   Note: The best tip that I can give for stress-free travel is to book  long stay parking Heathrow   and start your journey without any worries. Roll, Don't Fold   The day when I rolled my clothes in place of folding them, it seemed to me that I had uncovered a secret formula. Then all was in place, and I was able to see what I had packed, not having to dig to the bottom. Not only does rolling save on space, it does not allow clothes to get too wrinkled.   During my last winter trip, I was able to squeeze two s...
