Brenners Park Hotel & Spa, Baden-Baden, Germany

Driving through the Black Forest on our way to Baden-Baden, top down in the Ferrari 488 Spider, is an incredible experience. You go as fast as that car can take out, winding in and around dense trees and slower moving cars, taking in the magnificent scenery while not taking your eyes off the road. Exhilarating, […]

Winchester Hospital, Winchester, MA USA

But working from home doesn’t necessarily mean more free time – in fact, it can be […]
