Destination Guide to Uzbekistan

July 31, 2019 by Preethi Chandrasekhar8 Comments

The word Uzbekistan itself carries an air of mystery about it. When I told people I was traveling to Uzbekistan, they exclaimed "Uzbekiwhere?!" and then followed that up by "Is it safe?!"  Uzbekistan IS bordered by Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan and Turkmenistan, countries that are not very well known in the West. So I suppose the "safe" question was fair enough! I'm here to give you the 411 on this destination and hopefully … [Read more...]

Arriving Into Iran and the Tests of Traveling

August 21, 2018 by Dave18 Comments

I left for the Tbilisi International Airport in the country of Georgia at 10pm. I arrived at my final destination, Shiraz, Iran some 20 hours later - the next day. If you look on the map this is about a 3 to 3.5 hour flight. As it were, the airport in Tbilisi is under construction; a new runway is being built so all day flights have been moved to the night. I spent all night in the beautiful fairly new Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku, … [Read more...]

Traveling on a Budget in 2016

The year 2016 has been and will continue to be an exciting and affordable year … [Read more...]

From Camping with Nomads to Exploring Tehran

June 12, 2016 by Dave4 Comments

The past few days I've been enjoying life with a group of nomads who move around the deserts of central Iran. They regularly herd large numbers of sheep and goats; I was able to join them as they moved one such herd from the flat lands up into the mountains. It is a life in motion for the herders and their animals; both are moved around continuously in search of food and water. Donkeys accompany the herds carrying shelter and additional food and … [Read more...]

Springtime in Shiraz Is …

May 6, 2016 by Dave2 Comments

... the smell of citrus blossoms - the fragrance that follows you as you pass numerous orange trees planted as urban vegetation on city streets. It is the smell of running water on hot sidewalks as a young man washes his motorcycle. And the mulberries - I am reminded they are among my favorite fruits - yet I rarely get to gorge in this capacity. They are beginning to ripen, their sweetness runs all over one's fingers - their flavor only leaves me … [Read more...]

Off Beat Destinations for an Adventurous Holiday

November 1, 2015 by Rob FLeave a Comment

The lists of the best travel destinations are always biased towards a few places like France, England and Switzerland, and in some cases India and Turkey.
