Taking a trip is like a having a love affair: you arrive at your destination liberated from the mundane details of ordinary life, free to shuck off your inhibitions and awaken to the landscape of the senses. In Foreign Affairs, writers from around the globe explore the romance of travel in 21 explicit stories set in evocative locales, including Rome, Brussels, Tokyo, St. Lucia, Vietnam, and Santorini. Contributors include Opal Palmer Adisa, Lisabet Sarai, and Linda Jaivin (author of the bestseller Eat Me).

MITZI SZERETO's Web TV channel MITZI TV covers "all things quirky and London" and has attracted an international audience. Segments have ranged from prowling the streets of London in search of jellied eel and chatting about classic cars with Formula 1 racecar driver/BBC TV presenter Tiff Needell and couture shoe designer Jimmy Choo, to joining in a lively pub singalong, being recruited into dance by a troupe of Morris dancing software geeks, hanging out with a chapter of Harley Davidson riders, and covering a teddy bear festival with her famous bear and cohort, Teddy Tedaloo.
