Seeing the World One Step at a Time

Tori James, Adventurer and Speaker

August 6, 2016 by Dave1 Comment

Tori James, Adventurer and Speaker

I briefly met Tori earlier this year at a travel blogging conference (Traverse) 16 in Cardiff, Wales where she gave the opening welcome speech. Her adventures are nothing short of amazing, reaching the summit of Mt. Everest at age 25, participating in the first ever all-female team in a 360 mile race to the Magnetic North Pole (successfully reaching the pole), and significant cycling, kayaking and other outdoor adventure feats. She is an … [Read more...]

A whistle Stop Tour of the Scottish Borders

A whistle Stop Tour of the Scottish Borders

I don’t know whether you get to a certain age and you begin to get nostalgic or perhaps you just want to relive your youth. It might be the good old school reunion that pulls you back to your home town and you realise what a great place it was to grow up. One or all of those made me recently organise a mini tour of the Scottish Borders. With no family now living in the area, I hadn’t explored this part of the world for over 20 years so I was … [Read more...]

How to Uncover the Mystery of the Scottish Highlands

How to Uncover the Mystery of the Scottish Highlands

Over the misty mountains of a Scottish morning, lochs stretch over the horizon. Deer amble and graze across the bracken and moss, while Nessie lurks somewhere in the deep dark belly of Loch Ness. It’s the Highlands – and it’s bursting with grandeur and mystery. Ask a non-native to think of Scotland and they’ll probably conjure up the image above. People are less interested in the cosmopolitan warmth of Edinburgh, the throbbing nightlife of … [Read more...]

The Introvert’s Guide to Backpacking

The Introvert’s Guide to Backpacking

“It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.” -Bilbo Baggins, Fellowship of the Ring I never wanted to go backpacking. I had no interest in staying in hostels. An introvert by nature, I found the peace and privacy of a hotel room necessary, not only for the enjoyment of the trip, but for my mental sanity. Then the cheapskate … [Read more...]

Dispatch: Kentucky Fried Moa

Bumbling into a Big Bird better than Popeye’s in a primary rainforest on a remote New Zealand isle, John M. Edwards raves, “Don’t mess with dinner!” Part I In Auckland, New Zealand, I was roosting in the common room of this crap budget flophouse, perusing my guidebook and gearing up to fly to Fiji soon despite a recent military coup, when the heated roundtable discussion of the relative cleanliness and cheapness of Kiwi backpacker hostels … [Read more...]

Investigating Legendary Party Thrower Jim Haynes

Investigating Legendary Party Thrower Jim Haynes

It was through my fellow American expat friend, “The Famous Zack,” a black Christian science-fiction writer originally from Ohio, with a short story coming up back then in the now-defunct “AMAZING STORIES,” that I first heard about the wild parties thrown by the legendary Jim Haynes, whom some sour-grape artists deemed an apocryphal “traitor.” So well known was Haynes as a manic socialite host that he even felt propelled to write a … [Read more...]

Pre-Christmas Break Vs. Post-Christmas Break: Which One Is Right For You? Guest Post

Christmas is a magical time of year. Family, friends, neighbours and strangers all gather together to share wonderful memories, delicious food and exchange thoughtful gifts. The kindness and generosity that is generated in people at this time of year is admirable. However, with our generosity towards others and our selfless giving, we often forget to make time for ourselves and treat ourselves to something special. We think there is no better … [Read more...]

Visiting London for first timers with an eye on Scotland

This post is about London, one of the world's major International cities. With two major airports (Heathrow and Gatwick) and two smaller ones (Luton and Stansted), there is no shortage of flights to and from here from all over the globe. Once in the city, the famous red double decker buses will take you anywhere you need to go within the city limits - and some of these run all night. The also famous "tube" looks like a birds nest when you see it … [Read more...]
