Photo of the Day – Thailand’s Floating Market
February 10th, 2011

Even if you have never been to Thailand, you may recognize this market from a chase scene in an old James Bond movie. In real life, the Damneon Saduak floating market does indeed have a lot of commotion, though it’s not particularly James Bond material.  Instead, it’s visitors and merchants haggling over prices and canoes [...]

I’ve been blogging a lot about safari’s and Africa lately. I’m getting very excited about potentially heading to Uganda in the spring/summer, and I am realizing a lot of the questions that travelers may have about visiting Africa and planning a safari.

Uganda’s Many Sides
January 19th, 2011

When I tell people that I am planning to visit Uganda this year, I’ll admit that often their first response is something along the lines of “where’s that”? I’ll also admit that when I first started studying it, I had to look it up on a map to find it’s exact location in East Africa. [...]

December 17th, 2010

The Real Cabo
August 18th, 2010

Before Cancun developed into the popular all-inclusive vacation spot it is today, Cabo San Lucas was the place to go. Sadly, as the east coast developed into a tourist destination, the west coast was somewhat forgotten about. Cabo became thought of as “the other spring break destination”.

Would I do it Again? … Part 1
July 28th, 2010

Over my years of travel, from pseudo backing in Australia & New Zealand to posh hotels in Paris, I’ve had some incredibly intriguing, thought-provoking and just plain fun experiences.

Why I Went to Zimbabwe
March 22nd, 2010

My most recent blogs have featured destinations that most others aren’t – either destinations I’ve visited, or want to, that I feel are worth sharing with others. Last year, I went to southern Africa for 16 days and I couldn’t pass up the chance to go to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Victoria Falls can be seen [...]

This adorable dog was hanging out by the lift to get to the Seoul Tower in Seoul, South Korea. Looks like maybe a shepherd-malamute mix, but that’s a complete guess.
