It’s really unfortunate for them, because they are missing out on all the [...]

Most travelers who have done even short stints of night driving have likely noticed that there are a number of alertness products on the market.

The link between caffeine and cognition is much stronger than most people have already imagined. Although the die-hard coffee drinker and the committed espresso connoisseur have already decided for themselves that the connection is absolutely there, science is offering up enough evidence to agree.

It is always an electric moment when a traveler discovers that they can indeed enjoy their coffee in a new location. For some people who particularly love their local baristas so much that they are worried about travel to places known for tea, the choices for circumnavigating the globe can be a little limited.
