I Skied, Paddled and Fished Patagonia — On the Same Day

BY ANDY COCHRANE

Rafting a world-renowned river wasn’t on my bingo card for a trip to Patagonia. But we did it anyway.

The region, which encompasses the southern third of both Chile and Argentina, is filled with snow-capped peaks, dense forest and turquoise rivers, making it the ultimate playground for outdoor enthusiasts. It spans more than a quarter-million square miles, and much of it is wild, rugged and difficult to access. As such, there are very few places where you can ski and fish on the same trip, let alone on the same day. And yet, that was my initial goal.

I Celebrated My First Adult Halloween Ever This Year in Vienna. Here’s Why.

BY BRANDON WITHROW

There are three million dead people in Vienna — a million more than those who are alive. Centuries of plagues and wars — with the church teaching that the reward comes after you’re dead, so suck it up now — have given the Viennese a morbid fascination with death. Death is treated tongue-in-cheek, and it’s seen as a natural part of life that shouldn’t be ignored. As Viennese composer and poet Georg Kreisler once said, “Death must be Viennese.”

At the invitation of Vienna Tourism, I came to Vienna on Halloween to experience the spooky side of a city that is at ease with death. But for me, this has a personal side: as someone raised in a conservative, evangelical world, I didn’t grow up with this holiday; this was my first Halloween as an adult.

The Drinking Culture of Spain

The Spanish are renowned for their robust drinking culture. They vermut in the afternoon, pour wine with meals, finish dinner with sherry and sip Gin and Tonics into the later hours. But their approach isn’t quantity-driven — rather, it’s built off small and sessionable drinks shared with friends and colleagues at all hours of the day.

“In Spain, drinking culture is closely tied to socializing surrounded by loved ones,” says Chef Iñaki Murua, who was born in the Basque region of Laguardia and now runs Ikaro in La Rioja and Momento by Ikaro in Miami. “It’s based on experiencing moments of happiness.”
