Itʼs the ultimate trip: circumnavigating the planet, and stopping off wherever takes your fancy.
Great for travellers who want to see it all, or who are just plain indecisive. But booking a round-the-world (RTW) trip can be a complex business. Hereʼs our guide to getting started. How to do it The most economical way to circumnavigate is to buy a round-the-world air ticket that uses one airline alliance. There are rules: you must follow one global direction (east or west – no backtracking); you must start and finish in the same country; and you must book all your flights before departure, though you can change them later (which may incur extra charges). How long you need You could whip round the world in a weekend if you flew non-stop. When to go The weather will never be ideal in all your stops.

Salad Sicilia – A crunchy, colorful addiction. April 30th, 2012 Everything is different today.
Usually I would introduce you to a favorite recipe of mine with a short story, either about how I found it or what makes it so special. But today all you get is the raw, no-fuss recipe . Now how about that? I’m heading north to meet a bunch of blogging friends in Berlin – in particular at re:publica – shortly, therefor no story but this recipe, I won’t dwell on the fact that this salad is a mixture of all the salads we enjoyed at Case Vecchie, nor brag that it has the potential to become my favorite BBQ side for the summer. Oh and if you happen to be at re:publica, do stop by our food blog panel (with Inés, Stevan, Sebastian and Vijay) and say Hi!
Wash and prep your salad ingredients: Discard any limp radicchio and chicory leaves, then cut into thin stripes. Now dress the salad with the reserved orange juice, the vinegar (if any), plenty of olive oil, salt, pepper and sugar and mix well. Salad Sicilia Prep time: ~20min.
