Seeing the World One Step at a Time

An Interesting Mix of Activities & Distractions in Guyana, South America

February 15, 2019 by DaveLeave a Comment

An Interesting Mix of Activities & Distractions in Guyana, South America

The final touchdown could not come soon enough. 39 hours prior I left my place in California for the airport at 430am. After a night in Miami (part of which involved nearly a 2 hour drive to go 3.1 miles from the airport - you think Los Angeles traffic is horrendous, think again), I finally arrived in Guyana. Most people I told prior to my trip that I was going to Guyana greeted me with a blank stare. The few older folks correctly equated Guyana … [Read more...]

Trekking Torres Del Paine National Park in Patagonia

Trekking Torres Del Paine National Park in Patagonia

"The clearest way into the universe is through a forest wilderness.” - John Muir I like to think that John Muir was correct in many of his writings. And I also like to think that Torres del Paine is as close as it gets to the wilderness that he describes, the one that fuses the soul into the universe. Located at the southern end of Chile, deep in South America’s famed Patagonia region, this majestic national park surely ranks among the most … [Read more...]

How to Tell if House Sitting is Right for You

February 9, 2019 by Vanessa PalmerLeave a Comment

How to Tell if House Sitting is Right for You

In the past six months, I lived in a land-locked nation where Mercedes and BMWs rank in the top five most popular cars, enjoyed endless sunny days on golden sandy beaches along the sparkling Atlantic Ocean, and for a week called a tiny New York apartment home. Digital nomads, retirees with free time, and travelers hoping to live like a local have embraced the house sitting lifestyle. Despite this trend, it remains a generally untapped … [Read more...]

Cruising the Fjords of Patagonia

February 4, 2019 by Abdul Rastagar2 Comments

Cruising the Fjords of Patagonia

Few places around the world evoke as much myth and awe as Chile’s Patagonia region. The mere name conjures imagery of pristine wilderness and raw nature, of stunning scenery and awe-inspiring mountains. This is where land meets sea, where ocean currents are funneled through narrow gorges opening to cavernous bays, where innumerable fjords and glaciers carve through rocky massifs. Surrounded by only water for thousands of kilometers in three … [Read more...]

From Los Angeles to Bogota – a Day Trip

January 19, 2019 by Abdul Rastagar2 Comments

From Los Angeles to Bogota – a Day Trip

Yup, you read the headline right. I made a day trip to Bogota, Colombia from Los Angeles, USA. I'm probably not the first one to do it, but I bet not many people have done it before. So how'd it happen? Mostly through my opportunism: I managed to squeeze in a stop in Bogota while on my way to Santiago, Chile. It wasn't really on my original plans but I had a choice of two flights - one with a 4-hour layover in Lima, Peru and one with a 16-hour … [Read more...]

Chevy’s 2019 Equinox Gets Me to Portland Maine’s Growing Artisan Food & Beverage Scene

The concept of taking a road trip sounds carefree and largely based on serendipity. But after rearranging your schedule and marking time on your calendar, the realization sets in that you need a planned itinerary and well equipped vehicle to get you to the most scenic routes and can't-miss sights. It helps to have comfort and navigational assistance like you get in Chevy's 2019 Equinox. I recently tried it out on a coastal road trip to … [Read more...]

5 Countries to Relocate to on a Budget

Most of us dream of escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life to a place where we can relax and forget about our problems. If you have been considering moving out of your high-priced fast-paced city to a cheaper and tranquil place then you should be looking overseas. When most people think of moving abroad, they imagine expensive and luxurious cities. But there are actually plenty of places abroad where you can get a lot more bang for your … [Read more...]

Magical Mo’orea – a Stay at the Hilton Mo’orea Lagoon Resort & Spa

Magical Mo’orea – a Stay at the Hilton Mo’orea Lagoon Resort & Spa

Words that come to mind when referring to the island of Mo'orea include ethereal, mysterious, remote, undeveloped and exotic. I've long built up the mystique of this island in my mind based upon stories my mother related from a several month trip she took to the South Pacific in the 1960s. Mo'orea was by far her favorite island in the French Polynesia. While Mo'orea has certainly changed since those days, a visit to the island is like walking … [Read more...]
