Dave’s Dominica Taxi Service
I must have picked up about 15 people today with my self titled new job on the island, "Dave's Dominica Taxi service". Getting around from place to place is dependent on the generosity of drivers - and this hitch hiking seems like an easy and cheap way to see the island. With bridges still out or damaged from the tropical storm in 2015 - one of the main roads was closed leaving a smaller road through the rainforest as the alternative way to get … [Read more...]

Old Town Tallinn Estonia – January 2018
Old Town Tallinn Estonia originally dates back some eight centuries. This part of town is surrounded by a number of towering stone walls that were originally built to protect the city. The old town is a mix of cobblestone streets, plazas, restaurants, hotels and plenty of small shops. One can easily walk from one side to the other in about 25 minutes but one doesn't just want to rush through this part of the city. Rather, take one's time and move … [Read more...]
Belize: a Natural Underwater Beauty
When you're looking for gorgeous places to scuba dive, Belize should be at the top of your list.

Looking Cool, Feeling Lonely
After my first year of college, I was dying to do something by myself. Freshman year was filled with group outings, constantly noisy dorms, and very little personal space. I arrogantly prided myself in being an introvert, and thought I was so cool for being brave enough to travel through Europe by myself. This two-week solo trip was my chance to establish my independence over the summer, and prove that I was an adult. But it turns out that I was … [Read more...]
All-in Tickets from KLM Airlines
I have flown my share of budget airlines (mostly in Europe as they are often reasonably priced and quick way around the continent) but you always get what you pay for: a basic seat, very limited carry-on luggage allowances and generally no food or drink. Often the flights are to secondary airports that aren't always central to your final destination. While these in continent flights are typically only a few hours at most, there are certainly also … [Read more...]

Truly a Special Place, Chamonix in the French Alps
I have been fortunate to have visited France a number of times - but by far the trip that has stood out in my mind over the years was a trip to Chamonix in the summer with my brother as part of a longer trip backpacking through parts of Europe. Traveling on train from near Geneva to Chamonix is anywhere from 2 to 4 hours - we felt good because we had a Eurorail pass which covered most train travel within Europe for 30 days. But at the time we … [Read more...]
