East Coast Escapade: A Whirlwind Adventure

October 1, 2025 by Dave2 Comments

I caught a red eye from California to JFK in New York but before I left, our flight was delayed 90 minutes due to crew who had not yet arrived at the airport. This and other delays have plagued nearly most of my flights this year - although this wasn't as bad as sitting on the tarmac in Germany earlier in the year for nearly 6 hours for maintenance issues and then having to go back to the gate because the flight was ultimately canceled. And … [Read more...]

Bulacan: Heritage and History

May 1, 2025 by Junfil OlarteLeave a Comment

The morning sun casts long shadows across the cobblestone streets of Malolos as I begin my exploration of Bulacan, a province that serves as a living testimony to the Philippines' rich cultural heritage. Located just north of Manila, this region has long been overshadowed by its metropolitan neighbor, but as I would soon discover, Bulacan holds treasures that rival any in the archipelago. My journey begins at the Barasoain Church, its baroque … [Read more...]

The Convenient Travel Guide to Visiting Saudi Arabia

July 25, 2024 by Dave2 Comments

Saudi Arabia used to be one of the most difficult countries to secure a tourist visa. Several years ago on a flight from Bangkok to Vietnam I remember reading an article mentioning that policies regarding travel to the country would be changing in the coming years. I made a mental note to keep an eye open for that. I was able to visit last year, spending the majority of my time in Dammam. Traveling to Saudi Arabia can be an exhilarating … [Read more...]

Paris Guide- Hidden Gems

July 1, 2024 by Rosie McCannLeave a Comment

Paris syndrome is so real. Although it seems pretty extreme if you look it up online, with symptoms listed such as delusion, hallucination and even vomiting, I just mean that when I first arrived I was a bit confused over what all the fuss was about, and I can see how it can be a bit of a shock when things don’t seem like they do in the movies. I honestly can’t remember much at all from the first few months of when I moved to Paris in September … [Read more...]

gruene general store in new braunfels texas

Situated in the middle of San Antonio and Austin, New Braunfels is a hidden gem of a city. Each year, given its attractions (and proximity to those major cities), it attracts an increasing number of tourists and residents. I have visited New Braunfels many times over the last 15 years, so I’ve had the opportunity to see its rapid growth from a small town into one of the best cities to visit in Texas. Its roots trace back to 1845 when German … [Read more...]
