This is one of our travel writing articles about touring the beautiful but recently-devastated Caribbean country of Haiti with the world-renowned photographer Russell James, and was written for Private Air Luxury Homes Magazine. Here’s how the travel article begins…

New Orleans City Vacation Guide

This is a city travel guide that we wrote for Expedia, via a company called Tourism Media Australia. It is an overview of the American city of New Orleans in Louisiana and also includes a number of POIs (points of interest) that discuss the tourism highlights within the city. This is how the guide starts…

“New Orleans charms with its energy and community spirit: Dixieland jazz, laid-back locals, cherished architecture and a distinctive French flair.

Lashed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, New Orleans continues to rebuild. Meanwhile, in true Southern style, the city embraces the mantra “let the good times roll.” You’ll find the locals relaxed, and unhurried, always ready for a chat, and embodying the spirit of the city’s nickname, “The Big Easy.”

New Orleans sits on the Mississippi River in southern Louisiana. It was founded in 1718 by Phillippe d’Orleans, then the Regent of France. The city was under Spanish control for decades before it passed back into French hands, and then was sold to the United States in 1803.”
