Procida, the Island Jewel in the Gulf of Naples That You Will Love

The violent volcanic activity which gave birth to the island produced the marvelous bays and beaches we get to enjoy today. In fact, the landscape is so stunning that more than 30 movies have been shot there, including scenes from "Cleopatra" in 1963, "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and "Il Postino"…. If you are lucky enough to be in the area at Easter, don’t miss one of the most sacred festivals in the area, the mysteries of the life of Christ on Good Friday.

A Journey Through Humanity With Steve McCurry’s Time Machine

I visited Italy for the first time in 1970. Italy is so full of Art. Italians care about Art, beauty and style, and they care about their past…That’s why we all love Italy so much. What interests me is what you see in my pictures. Human behaviors, telling a great human story. It’s photographing the world and trying to show the commonality of humanity… The most important element in my photography is storytelling. Most of my images are grounded in people. In my portraiture, I look for that unguarded moment and try to convey some part of what it is like to be that person, or in a broader sense, to relate their life to the human experience as a whole.

Visiting Ethiopia: Past the Misconceptions, We Get a New Perspective on America

Americans might not think of themselves as anything like Ethiopia, but we are. We have our indigenous tribes, we have Wall Street bankers and West Virginia coal miners, Jews, Catholics, Muslims, Protestants, atheists, gun lovers and gun haters, soldiers and school teachers, progressives and conservatives, first generation, second, third, immigrants, English-speakers, and non-English speakers. And let’s not forget that America, too, is no stranger to schoolyard massacres.

Kashmir’s Unique Beauty: Big Skies, Cool Mountain Air, Mosques and Monasteries

For the next few days, I explored ancient streets, ate my way through markets, and walked back to my hotel at night to the Call to Prayer. I found the people to be friendly (except for my houseboat captors). One hotel owner asked me to join him for tea and we talked through the evening. Another man took me into his internet cafe just to chat and ordered his son to take me to a few must see mosques…

Let’s Talk About the Trips We Never Took This Summer, Thanks to Covid-19

Things will return to normal, but for now, our duty is to do the least amount of traveling in order to make the world safer for everyone to travel. I think my neighbor -- who just installed an outdoor television on his deck and a pool in his backyard -- has the right idea. Get comfortable staying home, find a bit of open space to explore, wait for things to open up, and watch for those flight prices and COVID numbers to drop.

Traveling in Tanzania, Africa, and the Scariest “Bus Ride” of My Life

Kimbola, the driver, would have been a dead ringer for Mike Tyson, if Tyson weighed 140 lbs. He donned a stoic look as he shook my hand and walked me over to my seat, right in the front in what they call the “death seat”. He stopped to buy some popcorn for the road and a few loaves of sliced bread and since there was literally no room inside for the bread, he tied the bags to the windshield wipers…
