Undoubtedly, this is Nirvana. This is my first time visiting Verde Canyon and I … [Read more...]

The Arasan Baths, Almaty – Kazakhstan
Always looking to find a local experience while on the road I hopped in the car with Isa, a likeable individual who has opened his home for me to stay during my time in Almaty. He is an ex military man who is now a boxing trainer. He definitely has the build and look of a boxer. During the ride over the theme song from the Titanic movie came on the radio and he started singing along. Almaty is a huge town - spread out for some distance. There … [Read more...]

Hotel or Apartment? In Barcelona, the Barrios Have It
Barcelona is a city of barrios, sadly most visitors only get to know the famous ones. Because like most hugely popular cities, Barcelona’s become very good at corralling its tourists and keeping them in check. It’s not that it isn’t welcoming, it’s just a lot easier to enjoy life in the lesser known (and often lovelier) barrios when the crowds are elsewhere. The city’s hotels are totally complicit, of course. Selling themselves hard on proximity … [Read more...]
Outback Beyond: 6 Months in Australia
PART I: QUEENSLAND I landed with a thump on a Quantus long-haul flight, back when smoking was allowed and drinking encouraged, like a character out of a Bruce Chatwin novel. I was ineffably in error while reading my Lonely Planet guidebook on the plane--thinking that “Cairns” was pronounced with an “r” in it, when to local “Aussie” cobbers (not “Ozzies,” a common mistake both of Septic Tank Yanks [Americans] and Bloody Pomes [Britishs]), it … [Read more...]
