Seeing the World One Step at a Time

Dalat, Vietnam, City of Flowers and Fun

April 1, 2021 by Dave2 Comments

We drove up from Mui Ne to Dalat - beginning at the coast with hot and humid temperatures passing by fields of dragon fruit plants. As we drove we began to climb into the mountains, leaving the dragon fruit farms behind, replaced by coffee trees growing on steep hillsides. It is refreshing to be in the mountains with the cleaner air and crystal clear skies. We arrived during the week of Tet, the Vietnamese and Chinese New Year and the city … [Read more...]

A Visit to Muckross House and Killarney National Park, Ireland

January 29, 2021 by DaveLeave a Comment

My first trip to Ireland was somewhat of a blur. I stayed in Dublin recalling that most of my time was spent hanging out in pubs and drinking - because that is what one does when visiting this city! However, my most recent trip to Ireland was a bit was not about 'drinking' tourism, rather more about heritage and exploration away from the bigger cities. My travel buddy and I landed in Cork (the southern part of Ireland); we were immediately … [Read more...]

The 5 Best Things to Do at the Grand Canyon

November 17, 2020 by Ivana Turkovic1 Comment

The steep, red walls of the Grand Canyon are as iconic as it gets. Miles upon miles of epic hiking trails, photo-ops that look like snapshots of a different world and unruly, dusty wilderness just begging to be explored are just the tip of the iceberg. The Colorado River has chiseled this legendary 270-mile long canyon into something that has to be seen to be believed — the Grand Canyon is a must-visit, there’s no doubt about it, and here is … [Read more...]

Brazilian Cachaça Trip, Day Three: Canela

April 20, 2020 by Peter Banks4 Comments

Gramado and Canela were two cities that I didn’t have much interest in visiting. I’d stayed in Gramado toward the end of 2018 with my family. It’s a town that is popular among Brazilians and notable for its effort to create a Northern-Hemisphere-Christmas-Atmosphere year-round, as well as its plethora of chocolate shops. Canela is a more relaxed cousin of Gramado, with a similar affinity for chocolate, without the Christmas spirit. I hadn’t … [Read more...]

Costa Rica: A Hikers Paradise

January 8, 2020 by Michael ReitermanLeave a Comment

Costa Rica’s reputation as a prime destination for outdoor enthusiasts is well-deserved. While surfing may be the first thing that comes to mind when considering a trip to Costa Rica, one shouldn’t neglect the ample inland beauty. 30% of the land area in this small county is protected by national parks, wildlife refuges, and preserves.  As such, hiking experiences abound, with seemingly endless opportunities to take in the stunning scenery. … [Read more...]

Scattered across the cerulean ocean is the Caribbean Islands, and the best time to visit these wonderful islands is from December to April when it’s slightly cooler and less humid. The average temperature is between 24-29°C, which makes these islands the perfect place to spend a few hours when traveling through the Caribbean Sea.

A Piece of Hollywood in the Eastern Sierra

October 23, 2019 by Kevin Nelson1 Comment

Quentin Tarantino shot there. So did Clint Eastwood, Steve McQueen, Kevin Costner and John Wayne. Robert Downey Jr. went on location there as the Iron Man. Whenever Hollywood is looking for a distant planet, or the long-gone Old West, or a rugged outdoors landscape for a Dodge Ram Tough truck commercial, there is one go-to location: Alabama Hills. The Alabama Hills are not, as you might think, in Birmingham or Mobile. Rather, they are in … [Read more...]
