A few days ago I was attending a first aid class (for my new driver’s license), when the teacher asked us to Google for common signs of a stroke and what to do when someone is having one. So I went on my phone and did a logical search for: what to do during a stroke. The very first result,… Continue reading "When Google Search Snippets go Terribly Wrong"
I was able to find the producers of 35 wines from Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of 2017 attending ProWein 2018 Düsseldorf. Here's a list with their coordinates.
With ProWein 2018 Düsseldorf less than 6 weeks away, I decided to take a look at the websites for some of the most popular wine producing regions in the world. This is a list of associations and marketing agencies that are responsible for promoting wine all around the world.

I think this is one of the most original and impressive marketing campaigns that I ever read about. Seven European illustrators (Ekaterina Koroleva, Malika Favre, Paula Bonet, Ben Heine, Jens Magnusson, Steve Simpson and Mads Berg) traveled to each… Continue reading "#OnTheDraw – Beautiful & Original Destination Marketing for Canary Islands"
Last month I accidentally stumbled upon this book’s summary and thought to give it a try. The Kindle version of “When Breath Becomes Air” is ~200 pages long, so I expected to quickly get through it in a couple of hours.
I wanted to find out if season 2 of the show had any measurable effect on the volume of tourist interest for the two Italian cities where some of the action takes place: Modena and Pienza.
