In defence of Gen Z (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I come to you as a millennial. Somebody who experienced firsthand what it feels like to stick your finger in a cassette to fix the tape or move through songs.

The Definitive Transatlantic Guide To All Things Eurotravel (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The summer’s most thrown-around prefix always ends up being “Euro-.” Whether it’s Eurosummer, euroweird, or eurotravel, it will never be uttered by a European with a straight face.As one of Europe’s biggest defenders, I wanted a bit of a clearer read on where the perception gap is.
