A professional traveler looks back at her decades on the road

September 6, 2013 by Kim SavilleLeave a Comment

My first overseas trip was at the age of two months when Mum and I travelled by boat from Sydney with all our belongings to join Dad who was then working as an agricultural scientist in Papua New Guinea. For the next 18 years the family, eventually with three daughters, moved around the country and my mother remembers that, as a small child, this traumatized me – I hated change, hated moving and screamed every time I saw a suitcase. I … [Read more...]

Exploring Michigan’s Upper Peninsula

August 30, 2013 by Laura P.3 Comments

Maybe Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is called God’s Country because only a supernatural force could withstand the ferocious Feel-Em-No-See-Ems, extreme weather, potentially dangerous wildlife or the keen loneliness of the endless forest. Then again, anyone who lays eyes on this place can’t fail to feel something celestial is at work. From Tahquamenon Falls and the Porcupine Mountains to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and autumn colors … [Read more...]

I Sweat, Therefore I Am (Sweaty)

August 27, 2013 by Tom Bentley4 Comments

The original author of the old saw about death and taxes never sat down at the equator. If he had, he would have instantly added “sweat” to his timeless twosome. I lived on the small Micronesian island of Kosrae for a year, and I had a constant companion: whether a silky sheen of perspiration or dripping rivulets of body water, sweat was never far from my side. Or my arms and legs either. The propinquity of the equator means that islanders … [Read more...]

Escape to Carmel-by-the-Sea

August 25, 2013 by Catherine Sweeney3 Comments

There’s no place like home, but when a trip is ending, I’m always a little sad unless I’ve got the next excursion in mind. Coming home after almost three weeks of having a fantastic time in the Emilia-Romagna and Puglia regions of Italy, I needed to plan a getaway! I found solace in Carmel-by-the-Sea. About a two-hour drive south from San Francisco, Carmel is a convenient getaway for area residents or visitors to San Francisco Bay Area. … [Read more...]
