The New Wildcrafted Cuisine by Pascal Baudar

March 1, 2017 by DaveLeave a Comment

Author Pascal Baudar is a professional forager. But he is much more then this - he has spent the past 15+ years researching and investigating pretty much anything that grows or is found in the wild (native and non native plants) in Southern California that one can eat, or use in in food.

Hitchhiking Through New Zealand

February 25, 2017 by John R6 Comments

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...]

Lost to the charm of Seville

February 24, 2017 by Teh Chin Liang2 Comments

Sometimes it is better to travel and be surprised by a destination rather then trying to do research ahead of time. My time in Seville has given me a new perspective about this beautiful part of Spain and my trip here has been without any preconceived expectations. Previously I had only heard of Sevilla through an opera that was based on a story about a barber - other than this fragment of knowledge I knew nothing about this charming little town … [Read more...]

Teotihuacan – Where The Gods Were Created

February 20, 2017 by Abdul Rastagar2 Comments

Chances are, you have seen images of Chichen Itza or Palenque, the stunning archeological remains of grand Mayan cities in Mexico. Perhaps you’ve even visited these sites at some point. Considerably less well-known, though, is Teotihuacan, or “the place where the gods were created.” In my mind, the UNESCO World Heritage site of Teotihuacan is western hemisphere’s ultimate pyramid city, vastly more impressive than even its more famous brethren on … [Read more...]
