Nantes: The Underrated Radial Point for Exploring France
The photograph captures it well enough: a broad urban square, the kind that French cities do better than anywhere else on earth, ringed by cream-stone Haussmann-era facades, a baroque fountain at its center, a Gothic spire cutting the sky above. It could almost be Paris. It is not Paris, and that is precisely the point.

There is a paradox sitting at the center of modern travel marketing. The industry has spent decades perfecting the art of selling the same forty destinations to the same demographic cohorts, and the result is a kind of successful failure. Venice is sinking under the weight of its own appeal. The Amalfi Coast is gridlocked every July. Machu Picchu issues timed tickets. Santorini … [Read more...] about The Undertourism Opportunity: Why the Travel Industry Needs to Look Beyond the Obvious

Osaka, Universal Studios Japan, and a Hotel That Actually Gets the Assignment
Osaka has that immediate, slightly electric feel the moment you step into it—dense, bright, a bit chaotic in a way that somehow works. It’s a city built on trade and appetite, and you can feel both everywhere at once. Food stalls spilling onto sidewalks, neon reflecting off canals, people moving with purpose but never quite in a rush. And then layered into that is something … [Read more...] about Osaka, Universal Studios Japan, and a Hotel That Actually Gets the Assignment
