Sam Shank, CEO HotelTonight

September 30, 2016 by DaveLeave a Comment

The app is simple to use and offers excellent coverage of hotels in the United States and Europe as well as other International destinations. The idea behind HotelTonight is to provide discounted hotel rooms based on last … [Read more...]

Tori James, Adventurer and Speaker

August 6, 2016 by Dave1 Comment

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...]

Everett Potter is an accomplished journalist who has written for and currently writes for major publications. He also manages the well-regarded site, Everett Potter’s Travel Report.

Christopher Elliot Consumer Advocate and Journalist

January 26, 2016 by Dave1 Comment

Christopher Elliott is a strong advocate for consumers (and not just travel related cases). So serious and passionate about his job fighting for consumer rights - he says he sleeps with his phone! In addition to his consumer advocacy work, he is also a very accomplished journalist. We have followed his career since the late 1990's (he has been online since the early 1990's). Recently we reached out to him with some questions - with an … [Read more...]

Conversation, Margaret Lehmann – Peter Lehmann Wines, Barossa Valley

October 16, 2014 by Dave2 Comments

Recently during a visit and exploration of the Barossa Valley in South Australia, I had the opportunity to sit down for a short chat with Margaret Lehmann at her home. She is one of Barossa's food and wine pioneers, a champion of its preservation and was an integral part of the growth of Peter Lehmann Wines. Conversation invariably was about food and wine - over a glass of Semillon from Peter Lehmann appropriately called "Margaret". With … [Read more...]

Leif Harum – Author, Backpacker & World Traveler

May 13, 2014 by DaveLeave a Comment

I was originally attracted to Leif's website, Runaway Guide several years ago because of his unique adventures and the perspective he has gained from his travels on the cheap since the age of 16 - when he ran away from home. He has become an expert in extreme budget travel acquiring the skills and knowledge to survive on the road while spending as little money as possible. Oh and he makes cool in the moment, on the road travel videos to! Q. … [Read more...]

Ramona Bruland, Adventure, Lifestyle & Adventure TV Host

April 5, 2014 by DaveLeave a Comment

While browsing Twitter I stumbled across Ramona's outdoor and adventure accomplishments. Discovering that she is originally from Adelaide and with a recent trip to South Australia including Adelaide, Kangaroo Island and Barossa Valley still fresh in the mind - this became a timely interview. Adrenaline and outdoor junkies take note - Ramona is just as comfortable carving tracks down the side of a mountain as she is jumping out of a plane or … [Read more...]
