Laura McKenzie's Traveler

London is one of Laura's all-time favorite cities, and for good reason. London has played a key role in world affairs for centuries, and as you stroll throughout this magnificent city, history comes to life before your eyes. Buckingham Palace, Campden Market, Covent Garden, the Tower of London, and Cliveden House are just the beginning of the places you will visit.

Most people are not aware of the fact that Amsterdam contains more canals and bridges than Venice. Whether by foot, bike, or boat, Laura hits all of the hotspots Amsterdam has to offer, such as the Rijksmuseum and the Hotel De L'Europe. She even takes a daytrip outside the city to explore neighboring Volendam and picturesque Volendam Harbor, and drops into Edam, where cheese is on the menu at Rembrandt Hoeve Cheesefarm and Clog Factory.

Cambodia has recently risen as a must-see travel destination, and top-notch resorts and hotels have developed to accomodate travelers. Join Laura as she treks to the magnificent temples of Angkor Wat, Bayon, and Ta Prohm via one of Asia's most recognizable animals - the elephant.

Laura begins her stay along the Amalfi Coast in stunning Positano. The Amalfi Coast's breathtaking views can be enjoyed at Le Sirenuse Hotel, a member of the Leading Hotels of the World. Down the road a bit, they say Ravello is a town suspended between sea and sky, and it will leave an impression on you as it has on many artists, musicians, and writers. In Salerno, the gardens at Villa Rufolo will burn into your memory.

Laura McKenzie's visit to Malta is one to remember. A delightful Mediterranean climate, fantastic beaches, and fascinating historic sites only begin to describe the Maltese experience. Few places in the world possess a more exquisite coastline. The HBO series, "Game of Thrones," filmed portions of the series in Malta's capital city of Valletta. If every word in the dictionary had a picture beside it, next to the word 'opulence' would be a photo of Saint John's Co-Cathedral. The megalithic temple of Hagar Qim is as old as the Pyramids of Egypt; however, a day-trip over to one of Malta's two sister islands reveals something even older.

Where the confluence of Muir Eireann and the Irish Sea meet on the east coast of Ireland stands the country's capital city of Dublin. Join Laura McKenzie as she enjoys the perfect pint at Gravity Bar at the top of the Guiness Brewery. Explore Dublin Castle, including passages only recently discovered, and become acquainted with The Four Seasons Dublin where you will want to book your next stay.

Take a whirlwind tour of one of Laura McKenzie's favorite cities to visit: Paris. During the day, there is more than enough to keep you busy. Historic sites and museums, such as the Louvre, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Picasso Museum, and the Paris Opera House are only the beginning of what there is to see. Tuileries Garden and Paris Beach offer a unique way to relax and have fun, and Sacré-Cœur offers a 360-degree view of city. As anyone who has visited Paris knows, you do not want to miss Paris at night.

Join Laura McKenzie as she rents a Rolls Royce and rolls through Los Angeles in style. By the time you find yourself at Hollywood and Vine, you know you are in the heart of Los Angeles. The Pantages Theater, the Capitol Records Building, Grauman's Chinese Theatre, and Kodak Theater line one of the most famous streets in the United States. Upon visiting Beverly Hills, Laura gives you the skinny on the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, Rodeo Drive, and Hancock Park. Los Angeles was found in 1781 just to the southeast of what is known as Olvera Street. Here you will experience the essence of L.A. in all its vibrant color. That, and so much more, await you in Los Angeles, the City of Angels.

Once the capital of the world, Laura McKenzie is the perfect guide to your trip to Rome. Travel down Rome's oldest road, Appian Way, and behold St. Peter's Basilica, an Italian Renaissance church that will touch your heart and soul, especially when you view Michelangelo's Pieta. The Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Vatican City, the Sistine Chapel - there is so much history and culture to experience here.

Join Laura McKenzie on an enjoyable tour of Edinburgh. Standing boldly upon Castle Rock is the striking Edinburgh Castle. Visit St. Margaret's Chapel, the oldest building in Edinburgh. Become acquainted with the loyal legend of Greyfriars Bobby. The Royal Mile and the Grassmarket will make sure to keep you busy and fed. Step aboard the HMY Britannia to see how royalty sailed the ocean blue. All that, and more, await you in Edinburgh!

Laura McKenzie believes that the Greek Islands are the perfect destination for a family vacation. Take the island of Hydra, for instance. Like many of the Greek Islands, neither cars, trucks, nor buses are allowed. Combine that with the fact that that there is virtually no crime, and your safe-vacation meter just scored big points. On top of all that, who would not enjoy a trek around an island by donkey? Cruise by the volcanic island of Poros in O'Pari, a private mega-yacht owned by Valef Yachts, before finally arriving at Aegina Island, seat of the first Greek goverment, where the Temple of Aphaia is found.
