Mount Cook Scenic Flights, New Zealand

May 21, 2020 by Rituparna9 Comments

Why New Zealand? The answer is simple. It is breathtakingly beautiful! My first visit to this island country left me awestruck and mesmerised to say the least. I haven’t seen a more scenic landscape before this. Among many, most noteworthy is the Mount Cook Scenic Flights, New Zealand. To my utter surprise the experience of that journey surpassed that of Jungfraujoch in Switzerland. The country lying in the southwestern Pacific Ocean has two … [Read more...]

Emotion and Historical Insight at Ronald Reagan Museum

April 22, 2020 by Kevin Nelson1 Comment

On a recent trip to southern California, with some time on my hands on a Monday afternoon, I decided to point my wheels toward a place that had always intrigued me: the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum. One of 13 presidential libraries in the United States, it sits atop a hill in the suburban enclave of Simi Valley, about forty-five minutes from downtown Los Angeles. I had never been to a presidential museum before and to be … [Read more...]

Sunrise at the Grand Canyon

October 14, 2019 by Jacki UengLeave a Comment

As one might imagine, watching the sunrise at the Grand Canyon, a United Nations-dubbed World Heritage Site, is nothing short of amazing. Coming in at about 2,000 square miles, the Grand Canyon is truly massive. It’s so big, in fact, that watching the sunrise in one section of the canyon is oftentimes a completely different experience than watching it from another area. Why? The Grand Canyon has a huge variety of terrains and biomes. You can find … [Read more...]

Flowers Everywhere! Southern California’s Springtime Bloom

April 15, 2019 by Dave29 Comments

Driving out in the morning from Mission Viejo to Lake Elsinore mid week, I thought for sure I would have the poppy fields all to myself. I could not have been more wrong. Pulling off the 15 on Lake Street and heading onto Walker Canyon Road I soon found myself in a 'zoo'. Seemingly all of Los Angeles and Orange County had made the trek out this Wednesday morning - traffic officers were directing cars, cars were backed up all the way into Walker … [Read more...]

How to Tell if House Sitting is Right for You

February 9, 2019 by Vanessa PalmerLeave a Comment

In the past six months, I lived in a land-locked nation where Mercedes and BMWs rank in the top five most popular cars, enjoyed endless sunny days on golden sandy beaches along the sparkling Atlantic Ocean, and for a week called a tiny New York apartment home. Digital nomads, retirees with free time, and travelers hoping to live like a local have embraced the house sitting lifestyle. Despite this trend, it remains a generally untapped … [Read more...]

Bold Colors are Gearing Up on Virginia’s Creeper Trail

December 17, 2018 by Sarah C Miller5 Comments

A helicopter pilot by trade, my favorite way to take in the fall foliage for years has been to cruise around on a sunny day at about five hundred feet when colors are at their peak.  It was my favorite - until I rode a bicycle down Virginia’s Creeper Trail in autumn.  Sure, the more vertically challenged can still get great expansive views by driving down the Blue Ridge Parkway or Skyline Drive.  Still, there is just something about being in the … [Read more...]
