Brașov, Carpathians, romania
My wife had a stay-over on a snow-filled night in Zurich and loved it, recommending that we mark Switzerland on our holiday destination list. Sounds exciting, except when I scour Airbnb broadly for Switzerland the prices are, as expected, beautiful and very costly. At the same time, some friends texted me, wanting to share a…

Cala Montgo, L’Escala, Costa Brava, Catalunya, Spain
In July 2023, we traveled by train from Lyon, France to the Costa Brava. Our ultimate flight home to the States was from Barcelona and we had one week left with the whole family so we picked the Costa Brava. To our surprise the duration of the train from Lyon to Girona, the largest city…

While it has plenty of tourists, its…

Annecy, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
In the summer of 2023, we stayed a week in Annecy in the French Alps. Our daughter Ava had honed in on it as her idea of paradise is a snowy vista with mountains and lakes. We booked well ahead and believe we found the best Airbnb in Annecy for our core criteria. We wanted…

Saorge, Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Azur France
An unheralded aspect to the Cote D’Azur is that there Alpes are within view from the beaches. One can go for a day of skiing or snow-boarding and have apres-ski in Nice. Scouring Airbnb for lodging where it’s easy to do a weekender, it’s not easy to spot an enticing property. This one bedroom one…
