A Trace of Thrace: Balkan Adventure

November 10, 2013 by John EdwardsLeave a Comment

In Plovdiv, Bulgaria, John M. Edwards snitches on the mystery-shrouded Balkans’ best-kept secret: an ancient (and enduring) heresy I was on the way slow train from Budapest through the Balkans, on my way to Bulgaria, chainsmoking and guzzling Egri Bikavier (Bull’s Blood) wine, when the train came to a juddering halt and was boarded by heavily armed Serbian soldiers. A Serb with an impressive handlebar moustache and an assault rifle demanded … [Read more...]

Solo Camping in Prescott

November 9, 2013 by Sam LowyLeave a Comment

I've lived in Arizona my entire life and I have to say that, despite the politics and blaring heat during the summer months, it truly is one of the best places to live -- especially for nature lovers like myself. Only two hours north of the state capital, Prescott is one of the places that makes living in Arizona worthwhile. Filled with a rich history and culture-driven community, Prescott has been one my favorite places to visit in the United … [Read more...]

What To Do With 24 Hours in Dubrovnik

November 8, 2013 by Jinnat HLeave a Comment

Dubrovnik's dramatic location – nestled between the mountains and the Adriatic Sea – is overshadowed only by the beauty of the medieval walled town at its heart. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979 and home of the many luxury hotels Croatia now offers, Dubrovnik is the main reason so many tourists are flocking to book their Croatia holidays. If you only have 24 hours here, you need to make them count. 8am: Arrive at Dubrovnik airport. … [Read more...]

My Trip to Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival

November 7, 2013 by Tyler ThursbyLeave a Comment

There was nothing like my first time camping at Coachella Valley Music Arts and Festival in 2011. I had purchased passes with some of my closest friends to this annual music festival in Indio, months before the electric lineup was made public. This was going to be an experience of a lifetime. We packed the back of my Toyota Tacoma to the brim, a fully loaded cooler serving as the nucleus to a bursting cell of truck bed space. As our campsite … [Read more...]

Traveling in Sin By Lisa Niver Rajna & George Rajna

November 7, 2013 by Cristina PuscasLeave a Comment

“When traveling, flexibility and solid team work are essential”- Lisa Niver Rajna When I travel I love to read. It makes the long train, bus or flight times go by much faster. Therefore, on my recent vacation (September 2013) I started reading “Traveling in Sin” during my flight to Bari, Italy. I was immediately hooked. The book is a travel memoir, a collection of stories, very useful travel information and quite a bit of romance. It is … [Read more...]

Pilots, Amelia Rose Earhart & Patrick Carter

November 7, 2013 by Dave3 Comments

When we were initially made aware that Amelia Earhart was going to recreate "her" flight around the world in 2014, we thought we had scored the interview of the century. However, we quickly realized the modern day Amelia Earhart is named after the famous aviatrix. But the similarities do not end with a name - Amelia is also an accomplished pilot and is going to recreate and symbolically complete her namesake’s 1937 flight around the world. … [Read more...]

St. John’s Tomb: Travel Tales from Turkey

November 6, 2013 by Elizabeth1 Comment

Greetings from Cappadocia! We are rapidly adapting to the troglodyte lifestyle of the modern cave dweller! Cappadocia was a perfect hideaway for the early persecuted Christians because they fled here to hide away in caves and they built their churches in caves as well. It almost appears that every family had its own church, sort of like a second living room to their cave dwelling. These early churches comfortably fit only about 10 people in … [Read more...]
