4 Safest Ways to Get to Your Destination

When traveling to a different country - or even through your own country for that matter - you always want to be certain in your transportation safety. It might sound adventurous to wing it and hitch hike; but most locales advise against it for a reason. Besides, there are classier, more comfortable ways to travel, and these are available in most developed nations. If, for example, you are vacationing in Europe and want to get to get from … [Read more...]

There’s More to Huatulco Than Just Beaches

There’s More to Huatulco Than Just Beaches

  Huatulco is Mexico’s, premier Eco-resort. The nine bays and 36 pristine beaches may be the main attraction, but this tropical resort offers more than just lolling in the water or baking on the sand. Huatulco is situated in the state of Oaxaca, at latitude 15 on the southern most part of Mexico’s Pacific Coast. This is where the Sierra Madre del Sur meets the Pacific Ocean and venturing into the mountains presents an entirely … [Read more...]

This is Africa

This is Africa

We left Varela on the coast in Guinea Bissau at 5am - determined to make it back to Dakar in time for our 145am flight that evening. No small feat since it took us more then 20 hours to get to Varela from Dakar. Unfortunately the border between Guinea Bissau and Senegal is not open all night; in the morning it opens at 8am. We arrived at the border at 630am - avoiding all the corrupt police on the road as they had not yet reached their posts. … [Read more...]

The Phenomenal Fortitude of Cambodia’s Emerging Capital

The Phenomenal Fortitude of Cambodia’s Emerging Capital

Phnom Penh, Cambodia Gray and gritty…these are the two words that rise to the surface when I reflect on our brief 4 days in Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh. Gray in the truest sense of the word and color, in that it’s place that is in transition – moving from a dark and clouded past to perhaps a bright and emerging future. However, where the city lies on the gray scale spectrum is open to one’s perception. Some may see it as a place that is … [Read more...]

Hitchhiking Through New Zealand

Hitchhiking Through New Zealand

I had just spent two weeks riding around the North and South Islands of New Zealand with close friends. We rented a car, bought a teepee, and spent our days checking out the gorgeous scenery and nights spent under the stars. We had a blast, but now my friends were gone. I was all alone. The time had come to finally start hitchhiking. New Zealand is notorious for hitchhiking. The country is filled with friendly people who are used to picking … [Read more...]

Everyone Comes to Rick’s

Everyone Comes to Rick’s

Our Christmas tour around Morocco had seemed like a good idea at the time. A comprehensive itinerary appeared to take in a lot of the country in a short period, making it good value. Unfortunately, it also meant that most of the days were spent crammed into a packed minibus, with brief, highly choreographed stops to see the sights. So when we arrived back in Marrakech, with a day off in the schedule, naturally most people just wanted to chill … [Read more...]

Exploring Ushuaia, El Fin Del Mundo

February 15, 2017 by Dave4 Comments

Exploring Ushuaia, El Fin Del Mundo

After four days in a row on a plane, two of which were overnight flights I have reached El Fin del Mundo, Ushuaia - the world's southernmost city. Flying over Tierra del Fuego, we were treated to spectacularly clear views of the jagged mountains, glaciers and lakes - ultimately reaching the bays near Ushuaia and dropping into the small airport on a nearly cloudless day. My visual research prior to this trip indicated Ushuaia is rarely clear … [Read more...]
