Quick Note: Before you want to kill me for the title of the post and the photo, please read it first. There’s no violence involved, I promise! Ever since I was about 12 years old, I had this crazy goal of visiting Vietnam. Of course, I really had no idea why I was drawn to that country or what I expected to find there, but after reading about it in a book one day, I just decided that I needed to travel there … [...]
Over the years, eating has played a major role in my travels and not a day passes without me spending at least a few minutes exploring the culinary delights of wherever it is I may be. I don’t just eat to eat, I instead eat in order to taste and savor the flavors of the world’s food creations. Usually, I seek out local specialties and tend to stay away from large restaurants, instead preferring to frequent small, out of the way, family-owned eateries, places not… [...] This is just a quick post to let everyone know that I was interviewed this week by fellow global citizen, John Bardos, over at JetSetCitizen.com, one of the websites that I’ve really connected with over the past few months. The interview can be found right here and I also highly recommend exploring all of the useful, real life information John offers for anyone thinking about traveling or living overseas for an extended period of time. Just have a read through some of the other interviews and you’ll discover exactly how other travelers have managed to turn their… [...]
I don’t know about you, but every now and then while I’m traveling, I need to take a break from all the exploration, discoveries and interactions, not to mention the challenges such as having a monkey steal your sandals in the middle of a city or hiking for five hours in the mud only to discover that you’ve taken the wrong path up to the famous Golden Rock. You know, the stuff that often makes travel nothing but an insane undertaking. Sometimes all I want… [...]
A few weeks ago I wrote about the excitement we feel upon finally booking a flight for that long awaited adventure to foreign lands. There’s that point when all the tension of planning our trip instantly turns in to calm bliss as soon as we click on that “Confirm Purchase” or “Book Now” button. And then, at least for me, the excitement grows steadily during the days leading up to the actual flight and typically, I am so over-excited during the flight itself… [...]
As my last post dealt with travel warnings and the dangers they warn us against, I thought I’d share a story this time around about a threat to my own safety that I once faced. And if you think this story will take place in some war-torn or lawless country, you’d actually be wrong. It takes place on board the Queen Mary 2 cruise ship during my time as a Tour Manager. JUST ANOTHER DAY ON BOARDThe… [...]
Right now I’m actually in the stages of deciding where my next adventure will take me, and as a result, it was only natural that I check the US Department of State’s Travel Warning website. This is generally how I begin any of my travel planning, not in order to learn which countries I should circumvent, but quite the opposite, to learn which regions I should consider visiting. A few months ago, I wrote a post about the growing misconception that Mexico is a [...]
“I want to travel right now, but I don’t have any money saved. I think I’ll have to wait a couple of years before I can leave.” The above situation is one that many people email me about, people who know that they are afflicted with the travel bug, but who feel the need to put that desire to explore this groovy world in the closet for now due to the balance (or lack of) in their bank account. At first, I was… [...] |
