A lot more than you probably think. But if you plan to get one, you have to finesse the degree’s lingering image problem.
Next week's international climate change conference at Copenhagen is beset with problems of both political will and the substance of what's being advocated, say critics.
Even smart people make financial moves that are downright illogical. Emotions and superstitions have a sneaky way of keeping you from rational financial decisions. But dumb choices can have serious, real-world consequences. Here are some of the biggest blunders we all make, plus tips from the experts on how to keep cool.

- Airbnb.com: House Sharing with a Twist
Often, when visiting a city for a conference, popular event, or during that area’s peak travel season, it is difficult to find a vacant hotel room. Even if one is fortunate enough to find hotel accommodations the price may be outrageous, making it not even worth the money since so little time that will actually be spent there. Airbnb.com is a website that solves these two problems. Airbnb.com, or Air Bed and Breakfast is an online marketplace that allows anyone from private residents or commercial properties to rent out their extra space. After signing up and creating a member profile, one can search for accommodations or post a listing. A traveler can search by country, city, room type, or price. Unlike other sites that users can use to rent out couches or guest bedrooms, Airbnb.com has a diverse repertoire of accommodations. - Moscow: Warming Up After the Cold War
With a Tony Soprano meets Boris Yeltsin reputation, we were not sure what to expect after arriving in this legendary capital. With six-dollar Big Macs, midnight sunsets, a hundred brands of vodka in your local convenience store, muscled pistol-packing bodyguards, pin striped businessmen, all night dance clubs, and beautiful women right off the set of a 007 movie, Moscow is an intoxicating affront to your senses. Love it or hate it, this city is a digestible history lesson. Prolonging the paranoia practices of the old regime, it tentatively reaches out to tourists while bureaucratically imposing strict visa requirements. Teeming with history, intimidating, intriguing and impressive, this eroded super power is high on our list of traveler’s destinations, and certainly worth a visit. - Holiday Getaways in Austria and Switzerland
Winter is a holidaymaker’s favorite season for an escape to the unspoiled kingdoms of Austria and Switzerland. An outdoor paradise of strolling, skiing and moonlight sleigh rides await you in the Tyrolean capital of Innsbruck, while shopping, haute cuisine and rich spa experiences abound in Zurich. - Papua New Guinea: A World Away From the World
The mountains across Kimbe Bay were on fire; perhaps it was the jet lag. Neither fire nor jet lag is the correct answer, I found as I rubbed my eyes more. It was just the perfect mix of rising sun, blue sea and towering mountains; a repeat performance happened the next day, New Britain Island in Papua New Guinea was the perfect place to begin my sojourn. Papua New Guinea is a world away from the world; it is just that simple. When I told my friends I was heading there, 98% had no idea where it was, and I wasn’t so sure myself. As I landed in the small prop at Hoskins Airport, I knew I was onto something special and on my arrival after a 45-minute drive to the Walindi Dive Resort it was confirmed, the perfect place to being my trip to PNG. Throngs of villagers waved as we sped by, a very friendly vibe. - Visiting Free Ukraine: A Journey Through the Shadows of History
"There is a parable of Western Ukraine about a man who was born in Austria, educated in Poland, who went to war in Ukraine, fled to Germany and was executed in the Soviet Union, and he did it all without ever leaving his village." It’s difficult to write about Ukraine without writing about history, and it’s difficult to write about Ukrainian history and still leave room for anything else. I want to write a travel essay. My parents were encouraged to visit Ukraine in the 1970s after a friend of theirs did so and suffered only a long interrogation by Soviet agents. The lady happened to run a hotel in New York’s Catskill Mountains, and her interrogators revealed their knowledge even of the price of pierogies at her hotel’s restaurant. - Dead Goat Polo: National Sport of Kyrgyzstan
Dead Goat Polo may not be the most charming name for a sport, but it certainly does what it says on the tin. Raiding and kidnapping the neighbouring village may no longer be as acceptable as it once was (though bride-napping remains in vogue), but in its place the Kyrgyz have a surrogate pastime that offers the same outlet for aggression and a similar showcase for horsemanship. Each weekend in summer, and on a number of special occasions, too, mounted armies up to 200 men strong go head to head in hundreds of valleys across Kyrgyzstan. Their battlegrounds of choice are long, flat pitches alongside the rivers, armour ranges from rugby skull caps to leather coats, weapons include whips and fists, and the stakes are high: clan pride and the carcass of a dismembered goat both hang in the balance. The weekend’s entertainment has begun. - Visiting New Zealand: Off to My Favorite Land, Far, Far Away
We are off to Auckland and then Wellington, New Zealand. It has been a day of packing and trying to remember everything, and accepting that things won't get done but will upon our return. One of the things on the itinerary that excited me the most was Nelson Helicopters. We'll soar in a chopper over mountains and land up there, and hike our way down. We will also take a ferry across the strip of ocean that divides the north and south islands. Sometimes it's rough, but our friend Gabrielle assured us that sometimes it's not. An adventure, no doubt! - The Rock of Gibraltar: Beaches, Bunkers and Birding
Located at the southern extreme of the Iberian Peninsular, the Rock of Gibraltar, famed gatekeeper of the Mediterranean, is one of the legendary Pillars of Hercules which, in AD 711, was the stepping-stone for the Muslim invasion of Europe. Given its location, a mere 14 miles from the North African mainland and on the doorstep of Spain’s Andalucia region (close to the cities of Granada, Seville and Cadiz) it is no surprise that this tiny British overseas territory attracts over eight million visitors each year. What is perhaps slightly harder to believe is that such a famous location measures only 2.5 square miles with a population of fewer than 30,000 Gibraltarians. With 300 days of sunshine a year and an almost uninterrupted coastline, you would be forgiven for thinking that Gibraltar was nothing more than a sun-soaked Mediterranean retreat. However Gibraltar is perhaps just as famous for its turbulent history as it is for its present. - London Calling: The City of Immortal Rhymes
It was sunny with cottony clouds as I strolled past the huge crowd at Buckingham Palace waiting for the Changing of the Guard. I had done that along with all the other London tourist attractions ten years ago. Today, I was a tourist on a different mission. I wanted to see a real thatched roof, and I knew there was one at the Globe Theatre, a re-creation of Shakespeare’s theatre that didn’t exist the last time I was in London. According to the map, I could get there by following the river path along the Thames. I planned to meander like the river, letting the day take me where it wanted, ending up at the Globe. - Love the One You’re With: How to Travel Together Without Killing Each Other
Soon after we got married, my husband and I quit our jobs and hit the road. We traveled through eight countries in six months — Mexico, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Myanmar. Since returning home, we’ve discovered that family, friends, and curious acquaintances ask the same questions again and again. One of those questions is … Did you fight? Of course. No couple can spend 180 days together without having at least one argument. We had many. Most were petty, but there was this one fight in Chile… - Shinugu Matsuri: A Little-Known Festival in Okinawa
During the spring and summer months my weekends are occupied with photographing festivals. I live in Okinawa, Japan. For an island only about 65 miles long, it must have more festivals per capita than anywhere else on earth. A festival (matsuri in Japanese) here, is like any county fair; crowds by the thousands, popular music performed by live bands, vendors pushing their overpriced food and drinks, children’s rides and games of chance. Then, there’s the crowded parking, far from the action, and the traffic jams, just like anywhere USA, when it’s time to head home. - Useful Electronic Travel Gadgets
My Little Steamer is a compact, efficient steamer, using 850 watts of powerful steam to smooth out clothes. It only takes two minutes before steam is produced and you can start de-wrinkling. Its main purpose is for travelling and last-minute touch-ups. The Callpod Chargepod comes with a handy sack to hold all the electrical wires included to attach to appliances.
