Seeing the World One Step at a Time

Bum Guns: A Love Story

October 5, 2019 by Kyle David IversonLeave a Comment

Bum Guns: A Love Story

Pants around my ankles, I can’t look away. It’s staring at me, a droplet of water slithering slowly down its face. The droplet reaches the bottom, clings, swells, then splatters against the tile floor. And I’m thinking no, I mean, they can’t, can they? They can’t actually- the angles alone! But they must, because every bathroom into which I’ve slapped my slippery flip-flops as one installed. Right there, next to the toilet. Sometimes righty, … [Read more...]

Khao Tapu (James Bond Island) #Thailand – January 2019

January 1, 2019 by Dave2 Comments

Khao Tapu (James Bond Island) #Thailand – January 2019

This island is located in Ao Phang Nga National Park and rose to fame when it was featured in the 1974 James Bond film, The Man with the Golden Gun. Today the island is much loved and visited and depending on the time of year crowds descend on its narrow shores jostling for photographs and views from all the same spots as everyone else. This is a very scenic part of Thailand - and understandably draws visitors from all over the world. Small … [Read more...]

Exploring Two Iconic Cities, New York and San Francisco

December 14, 2018 by Dave3 Comments

Exploring Two Iconic Cities, New York and San Francisco

Located on opposite ends of the coast, both New York and San Francisco offer a rich variety of experiences and activities on but for different reasons. New York is an older city and certainly much larger often overwhelming for first time visitors which is why signing up for New York Tours is a good idea. They sell all new York attractions, Hop on Hop off Bus tickets, other activities and combination experiences. New York City offers great … [Read more...]

Slave Trade Sites Part 2: Gorée Island, Senegal.

August 18, 2018 by Pete Martin3 Comments

Slave Trade Sites Part 2: Gorée Island, Senegal.

It’s a short ferry ride to Île de Gorée (Gorée Island) from Senegal’s capital, Dakar. I wonder if I can take another day of slave museums in my worn-out state after a severely delayed flight. I quickly regret this stupid thought. Of course I can; it’s only a lack of sleep. It bears absolutely no comparison with what these people went through, so I’m sure that I can find the energy to pay my respects. Everything is calm belying the awful … [Read more...]

Foodlovers: The most unusual dishes of the world

Foodlovers: The most unusual dishes of the world

Humans are like Ants. We can eat anything. Just ask the people who live in America and East Asia. In fact, you'll find foods in this world that seem like sprung from Satan's own cookbook. Not just that such food exists, but that people would actually stick this stuff in their mouths without a gun to their head. Suppose that, you have to write an essay on the weird or unusual dishes of the world. In this article, I am going to let you know … [Read more...]

Wining and Dining My Way Through the Mandalay Bay

March 24, 2018 by Tom Bentley2 Comments

Wining and Dining My Way Through the Mandalay Bay

Like many of the luxury resorts of Las Vegas, the Mandalay Bay has a wealth of ways to entertain and amuse its guests. Naturally there's an expansive casino, where rollers high and low can thrill to the spin of the wheel and the flip of the cards. There's the Shark Reef Aquarium, which has plenty of teeth (piranha tank, anyone?) to sink your sights into, plus stages plumb-filled with stars, like Nashville Unplugged, where stories mix with songs … [Read more...]

Snowboarding on the 4th of July

Snowboarding on the 4th of July

Imagine, it's the beginning of July and you live in the northern hemisphere. You're likely engaged in swimming, hiking, barbecue and other fun summer outdoor activities. If you're American, you are probably making plans for Independence Day which will likely include outings to a concert or public event. But what if you could spend 4th of July snowboarding in the morning and then swimming in the lakes in the afternoon? Impossible, you say? Guess … [Read more...]

Moscow: Tagansky Bunker Blues

July 16, 2017 by Pete MartinLeave a Comment

Moscow: Tagansky Bunker Blues

I am early for the tour and am made to wait in the entrance hall. At least I am out of the snow, although it’s colder inside than it was outside. Exactly on schedule, I am ushered in for a security check and then taken back to the cold entrance room for an introduction. Sasha, a youthful but stern 20-something, is my guide. His English leaves much to be desired and he speaks in a loud, military-style voice that seems appropriate for this … [Read more...]

Five days in Port au Prince, Haiti

December 26, 2016 by Abdul Rastagar8 Comments

Five days in Port au Prince, Haiti

“Excuse me, you’re going where??!” she gasps while simultaneously taking an irritated stride back, crossing her arms and dishing out that look that husbands the world over dread. “Um. Haiti,” I whimper back. And how can I blame her surprise? Just think of the things that come to mind when you hear the name Haiti: crime, armed violence, political instability, UN soldiers, endemic corruption, hurricanes, earthquakes, Zika virus, poverty, famine, … [Read more...]

Visit San Marino – August 2016

August 1, 2016 by Dave1 Comment

Visit San Marino – August 2016

San Marino is entirely land locked surrounded by the Italian borders. It is only 10 km from the Adriatic sea - the country is so small that it does not have its own International airport, but Rimini about 30 minutes away has both an airport and a train station. There are no border formalities - if you want a tourist visa placed in your passport, simply stop by the Tourist Information Office (small fee applies). The country is divided into what … [Read more...]
