The Utopia in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean – Interview with Shirley Squibb, Deputy Head of the Tourism Department of Tristan da Cunha

September 3, 2021 by Teh Chin LiangLeave a Comment

Recently, I had the pleasure of interviewing Shirley Squibb to get an insider's glimpse of life in Tristan da Cunha, a South Atlantic Ocean island that is completely isolated from the outside world. Surrounded by rough seas and untouched wilderness, coupled with unpredictable weather conditions, Tristan was founded by a Portuguese admiral named Admiral Tristao da Cunha in 1506.  Edinburgh of the Seven Seas is the main village in Tristan where all … [Read more...]

Mo’orea Highlights, French Polynesia

September 1, 2021 by Dave4 Comments

Mo’orea (Moorea) is only 30-45 minutes from the port in Papeete via ferry. And the port is only 10 minutes from FAA, Papeete's airport. Despite being so close, this island feels world's away from the often busy streets of Papeete. Need Internet access upon landing at the Moorea port? A Vodafone phone shop is within a short walk of the ferry terminal - located next to the gas station. SIM cards plus data plans can be purchased here. Often … [Read more...]

Celebrate Bourbon Heritage Month in Louisville with America’s only native spirit

August 31, 2021 by DaveLeave a Comment

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (August 31, 2021) – September’s Bourbon Heritage Month is an ideal time to celebrate America’s only native spirit in Kentucky - where 95% of the special whiskey is made. Once considered the “Wall Street of Whiskey” Louisville has been a spirits-soaked civilization ever since Evan Williams first marketed his whiskey to the city in 1783. Up until the 1920’s, a portion of Main Street was known as “Whiskey Row” because of the more … [Read more...]

Meet the Brummy who turned his love for his hometown into a walking tour – Rob Ankcorn, the co-founder of Real Birmingham Free Walking Tour

August 16, 2021 by Teh Chin LiangLeave a Comment

It was a grey chilly Saturday morning in February 2016. Most people would have been sleeping in or still tucked under a warm blanket with a hot chocolate by their side. Rob and Ruby, on the other hand, woke up earlier than usual and made their way to the main square in Birmingham. They had a mission that brought a surge of adrenaline rush in them. While waiting nervously for the crowd to congregate, bystanders were curious what they were up … [Read more...]

The Ultimate BMW Driving Experience

August 1, 2021 by Dave9 Comments

Ever wondered what it would be like to sit behind the wheel of a high performance vehicle and try to reach both your limits as a driver and the limits of the car? Idling in traffic on the 110 is certainly no place to test out your character and comfort levels as a driver - and certainly no place for an automobile to fully perform at its engineered capabilities. But we have found a place where you can - the BMW High Performance Center in Thermal, … [Read more...]

St Augustine Highlights, Florida

July 27, 2021 by DaveLeave a Comment

St. Augustine is rich in history, and in the late 1800s, rich was the operative word. During the Gilded Age (1870s to about 1900), this little town became the premier resort destination for the well-to-do – and it all began in 1883 with an auspicious visit by Henry Morrison Flagler, John D. Rockefeller's partner in founding Standard Oil. During the Gilded Age, St Augustine became a tourist destination that it still thrives as to this day. To … [Read more...]

See, Shop, Eat in Los Angeles – Insider’s Guide by Daniel Will Harris

July 27, 2021 by Teh Chin LiangLeave a Comment

When most people think of LA, the very first thing that comes into mind is Hollywood and celebrities. That is a stereotypical way to sum up LA because Hollywood is actually a very small part of a larger whole. As an actor, Daniel Will Harris has been in many movie studios. If you are visiting from out of state or abroad, Daniel recommends Warner Brothers Studio Tour.  Unlike Universal, which is literally a theme park with very loud buses that … [Read more...]

When it Comes to Writing, All you Need is Nothing: Just Write it, then Write the Next Thing! Go Inside the Mind of the Talented Daniel Will Harris

July 13, 2021 by Teh Chin Liang2 Comments

It was a spring Sunday morning in 2010, a white Mazda MX-5 convertible pulled up to a curb outside my hostel in North Beach, San Francisco. On the driver's seat was Daniel Will Harris. Daniel is an actor, author, creative writer and a writing coach. I was young and free-spirited. I had my heart set on meeting all the wonderful people in the world. Riding shotgun with a Hollywood actor and having him as my tour guide had flattered me beyond words. … [Read more...]
