Nashville might not be the largest city in Tennessee, being outgrown by its fellow town of Memphis, but it’s still the capital of the state, thus has an important status and is a major crossroads of human transportation, on both air and ground. Now, if you’re ever going to set foot in this crossroads and need a place to bunk, we’ve got an awesome suggestion for you: the Gaylord Opryland hotel, on Opryland drive in the North Eastern part of Nashville (near the Nashville airport).

Of course, the high traffic area doesn’t lack hotels of all statures and budgets, so what made us single out the Gaylord Opryland? Well, despite being a renowned quality establishment in the area, check out the spring break deal they’re coming forth with these days. If you’re not in the mood to read what their site offer holds, let us summarize it for you:

- First off, they offer an amazing discount on room prices that went down to $99 per night (that’s $99 without the tax, resort fee and parking fee by the way, but still pretty decent). If you want to book your hotel online, make sure you use their discount code (99BRK)
- Free admissions to the Wildhorse Saloon
- 20% discount on their Spa services if you have a Middle Tennessee driver’s license
- Several discounts to auxiliary amenities, such as the General Jackson Showboat (code GJ10), the Opry Country Classics shows (code TAKE10), the Ryman Auditorium and Museum (code RAQ1) and others.

If that didn’t whet your appetite for luxury hotels, check out the size and feel of one of their rooms. So if you’re in or around Nashville this spring, make sure you give Gaylord Opryland a try, it’s pretty much one of the best quality/price deals out there at this point.

Ah, there’s nothing like a beach vacation in terms of relaxation, after several long months of work at the office. But getting a tan and laying in the sand might not be the only joy of visiting a beach and as each seaside experience will be different, we decided to try to round up five of the most beautiful beaches in the World.

Visiting New York is one of the most impressive experiences that a traveler can go through during his or her lifetime and I’m not just throwing words around freely, as the millions of tourists that ever had the chance of stepping on new yorkean concrete will back up my claim. Regardless of where you go around the Globe, you’ll never really feel part of the world if you’re not going to experience downtown life, dug deep in a swirling hive of people, with urban walls made of stone and steel rising towards the sky.

Now, I’m sure you’ve had your fair share of travelling, seen some cool places and tasted some exotic cuisine - but how often to you get all of the above mixed in a single cocktail of traveler’s delights, served in a single place? Take a random stroll down town and you’ll notice that around every corner in NY, there are at least 5 different languages spoken and a handful of exotic restaurants that offer you the greatest variety of cuisines a traveler and fine diner would seek.  (more…)

Being a long time fan of French cuisine and a regular of the French restaurants back home, finding out I would have the chance to fly to Paris meant I prepared myself and my stomach for a tour du force. Saying that I was in for a treat would be to undermine my experience, but let’s just say both me and my stomach left Paris with a smile (I know a stomach can’t smile, but if it could, it would after tasting French delicacies).

On my first mouth-watering adventure, I took the private elevator of the famous “Jules Verne” restaurant, a restaurant I read up on and was looking forward to literally bite my way into. I’ve ended up at the second floor of the Eiffel Tower and the fact that the restaurant is part of the world wide famous monument reflects in the mandatory outfit and the prices, which are both above usual standards. I ordered a house specialty, the duck with bigarade sauce and I have to tell you that it was one of the best meals I had in a while. Combine that with a breathtaking panorama of Paris in the evening and you’ll get close to what I experienced that day. I heartily recommend checking the place out both during the day and late at night, enjoying the two ways in which light will change your experience, setting you in a distinctively Parisian mood.  (more…)
