Wicked Clean Fun At Noboribetsu’s “Hell”

August 5, 2022 by Katie Cerezo4 Comments

Go to hell. The phrase has lost its power through overuse. Unless, perhaps the phase "go to hell" was intended not as a threat, but as a travel recommendation. I should have taken the two demon statues directly outside Japan's Noboribetsu station as a warning that the good times were indeed about to end. Instead, I was delighted. Clearly, the colorful demons were proof I was in the right place. I had made it to Hokkaido's Noboribetsu, … [Read more...]

What I Learned from an Ashram

June 30, 2022 by Jeania Kimbrough1 Comment

Roof Yoga Space

First of all, my backpacking, hostel staying, sleeping-on-trains and wild camping days have long been over. This nomadic travel-style, while fun when I was in my college years roaming around Europe and North Africa, has been replaced by something a little easier on my back and fancier in terms of luxury. Nowadays, I am partial to the kind of hotels that come with slippers, deep soaker-tubs, smart technology, and sparkling on arrival. So why would … [Read more...]

Christopher Birt, Actor and Traveler

June 28, 2022 by Teh Chin Liang2 Comments

Q. I love your “Everyday People” column, it literally reminds me of the lyrics from the Sly & The Family Stone's classic “Everyday People” – “I am no better and neither are you, we’re all the same, whatever we do, You love me, you hate me. You know me and then. You can't figure out the bag I'm in”. What inspired you to start that interview project and what have you learned through these interviews with random people? Firstly, thanks so … [Read more...]
