There is something special about traveling along a river. Unlike a road trip, where the scenery changes with every turn, a river journey unfolds at a gentler pace. Towns, forests, farmland, and historic waterfronts gradually appear along the banks, offering a different perspective on the American landscape. A week aboard a Mississippi Riverboat offers the opportunity to experience this slower style of travel while exploring one of the … [Read more...]

Helsinki by Tram and Foot: A Local Way to See the City
Helsinki is compact enough that it is tempting to walk everywhere, but I think that misses part of what makes the city enjoyable to explore. Trams are part of the rhythm of central Helsinki, and combining a short ride with an unhurried walk gives you a much better sense of how the streets, architecture and waterfront fit together. For a first visit, I would not try to cover as much ground as possible. A better approach is to use the tram to … [Read more...]

Where to Stay in Sanur Bali: The Calmest Base on the Island
After enough time in Bali, I've come to think the biggest decision you make there isn't which temples to see or how long to stay. It's where to base yourself. Pick the right spot and the island feels gentle and easy. Pick the wrong one and you spend the trip stuck in traffic and heat, hunting for somewhere without a flight of stairs. I've spent a good deal of time in the quieter parts of Bali, and one town keeps pulling me back: Sanur, on the … [Read more...]

The Company We Keep
☘️Walking the Ring of Kerry in Ireland☘️ The first character appeared before I had properly begun. It was a horse. We had been walking the Kerry Way for only a day when we encountered it somewhere among the mountains and rain. The path was narrow. The horse was large. We stopped. The horse looked at us.

Surviving the World’s Most Dangerous Road: A Death Road Story
The fog rolled in before we'd even left La Cumbre, curling around the bikes stacked against the van like it was trying to talk us out of it. We were 4,650 metres up, the air thin enough that pulling on my gloves left me slightly out of breath, and somewhere below us, 61km of gravel, cliff edge and reputation was waiting. Bolivia's Yungas Road didn't earn the nickname "El Camino de la Muerte" for nothing. Carved through the Andes in the 1930s by … [Read more...]
Why Mt. Apo Should Be on Every Serious Hiker’s Bucket List
Mt. Apo is not just another mountain in the Philippines. It is the highest peak in the country, a protected natural landscape, and one of the most meaningful climbs a hiker can experience in Mindanao. For many hikers, Mt. Apo is the kind of destination that stays on the bucket list for years. It has the reputation, the elevation, the views, and the challenge. But after experiencing the mountain myself, I realized that Mt. Apo is not only about … [Read more...]
