Best Ever Funny Wild Animals In Photos By Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards

Ice-skating through pine forests, across alpine lakes, and on urban canals and remote glaciers can be an exhilarating way to experience winter wonderlands. But with rising global temperatures, natural ice, or “wild ice,” is becoming a rarity.

Bern has been rated the most liveable city in Europe again, according to one expert ranking.

Despite traveling fairly frequently, I've never been away from home for Christmas.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Sundance Film Festival. It’s a big milestone for the festival, which takes place January 18-28 in Park City, Utah. The years following COVID have been muted, with parts of the festival taking place virtually. This, of course, impacted party attendance and the overall festival vibe, which traditionally does a full takeover of Park City’s historic Main Street corridor. The sense is that 2024 will restore Sundance to its full capacity, which also means Hollywood will truly bring the party to Park City this year.

There’s nothing in skiing quite like the Sundance Film Festival, which takes over Utah’s Park City in a way even the Christmas and New Years holidays cannot, with lodging sold out, restaurants, bars and sidewalks jammed, and roads closed to traffic.

With winter in full swing, you might be gearing up for a trip to some of the best ski resorts in the country. Or, if you're like me and have yet to learn the art of winter sports, you're probably just jealous of all of your friends partaking in that apres-ski life. (You know, the part where the only muscles you use are the ones in your arm that help lift a hot toddy to your lips.)

A passport is more than permission to travel across borders; holders of the world's most powerful passports have access to different ways of living that other passport holders do not. Heading into 2024, new data reveals not only the passports that give access to the most countries, but also where you might find a better quality of life.

Whilst the Argentinian capital is still revered for its impressive number of top-notch parrillas (steakhouses), the food and drink scene in Buenos Aires has boomed over the past decade.

With intriguing historical landmarks, charming coastal villages and some of the best seafood in the country, Hokkaido — Japan’s second-largest, northernmost island — has earned its reputation as one of the most desirable destinations in the country. A rugged rise of rock, peppered with pine forests, smoldering volcanoes and jagged coastline, Hokkaido has been the native homeland of the Indigenous Ainu people for centuries. On the other hand, 150-plus years of fast-tracked development have added a contemporary character to the island and motorways have sprung up across the expansive prefecture, facilitating convenient travel between formerly far-flung towns and cities. From the buzzing neon lights of Sapporo to the sacred settlement on the shores of Lake Akan, here’s four of the best destinations to visit across Japan’s second-largest island.

During the week between Christmas and New Years, I played eighteen holes “at” the famed Ocean Course at Mexico’s Cabo del Sol. The next day I teed it up at Loch Lomond in Scotland, and two days later snuck in another quick 18—after dark—at Canada’s classic Banff Springs. Each round averaged just over two hours, I never lost a single ball, and I did it all without a passport or plane tickets. No greens fees. No rain. BYOB. I didn’t even have to wear a collared shirt.
