My Climb of Mount Ararat

May 3, 2016 by Robin Barone4 Comments

Climbing Mount Ararat was a dream of mine since childhood! I would stare at the picture posted above the chalkboard exactly in the center of the room at Armenian School and think, “Why are we just looking at? Why can’t we climb to the top?” I have been blessed that my life has taken me to nearly 60 countries where I connected with Armenian communities in South America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia. Our language, food, and music … [Read more...]

Serene Locations for Working in the Travel Sector

April 20, 2016 by Aimee W.Leave a Comment

Many Americans have a dream and it is not to be the President of the United States or anything quite so lofty. No, the dream shared by many Americans is to travel and to make a living out of traveling. But while many have this dream, few actually realize it. This is because they think that relocating, or even just travelling, to a foreign country is too difficult or will be too much of a culture shock. But they may be wrong. Experiencing serene … [Read more...]

A Surprise Weekend in Glorious Budapest

April 20, 2016 by David Leigh2 Comments

Everyone had just left. After celebrating my birthday and some basic tidying up we sat down for a moment. “Why don’t you check your email?” she asked. I took the hint. Taking out my iPhone I opened the email app. And there I saw confirmation I was flying to Budapest on Friday. Now that confused me - she was supposed to be attending a conference in Budapest the following month. She quickly filled me in on the details. She was … [Read more...]

A Grape Grows in Myanmar

April 12, 2016 by Allison Tibaldi2 Comments

The vines of Burgundy, Tuscany and Napa Valley produce some of the world’s most polished pours. While you can use many superlatives to describe these oenophile’s Disneyland, it’s a stretch of the imagination to describe any of these famed wine-producing regions as undiscovered. While Myanmar is no threat to Bordeaux as the next global grape deity, I was surprised that any wine at all is being produced here. The pagoda-laden landscape may not … [Read more...]

Where to Travel First?

March 27, 2016 by Dave TomlinsonLeave a Comment

A Whole World to Travel – Where to go First? The answer to this question will often be dictated by your budget and where in the world you live. It also depends largely on your confidence. My first genuine travel experience was to the US which was an ideal introduction to becoming a backpacker. My destination was a summer camp where I would spend three months adjusting to the American culture and lifestyle. It was the perfect springboard for … [Read more...]

Amsterdam On a Budget

February 29, 2016 by Allison Tibaldi3 Comments

Amsterdam is a city of many faces. For some, the Red Light District acts as a magnetic force. Its famed coffee shops serve a tempting menu of legalized cannabis, offering a range of highs from mellow to skyscraper. For those seeking lustier pleasures, prostitution is legal and as easy to find as North Sea herring. For others, it’s the cultural gems, from Rembrandt to Van Gogh, that entice. If you haven’t considered this forward-thinking … [Read more...]
