Originally published via Armageddon Safari: “Have you beauty, that leads the heart from things fashioned of wood and stone to the holy mountain? Tell me, have you these in your houses? Or have you only comfort, and the lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house a guest, and becomes a host, and then a master?” -Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet Of all the cancerous cultural exports America has inflicted upon the unsuspecting innocents of the Third World, the mega-shopping mall is arguably the most unforgiveable.

Introduction Amsterdam was not meant to change everything. For most business travellers and expats, it is just another European city on the itinerary—a convenient spot for meetings, conferences, or short-term projects. The plan is always simple: arrive, work, explore a little, and leave with some nice memories and a few photos. But Amsterdam has different ideas. Beneath the picture-perfect canals and tourist-friendly surface lies something more powerful: a place where temporary visitors accidentally discover what they’ve been missing. It’s not the museums or nightlife that hooks them—it’s the morning bike […]

This powerful historical fiction is one of our best reads in 2025. The man is real; the story highlights the important points in his life with the author taking some creative liberty to fictionalize some of the minor and unimportant points. This is a gripping novel based on the 26 letters Patrick O’Donnell wrote to Victor Hugo during his last days in the Newgate Prison in London between December 5th and December 17th. O’Donnell was in prison for the murder of James Carey, one of the killers involved in the […]

In a 300-year-old library in Ireland, I sat in Bram Stoker’s chair. Walking up to Marsh’s Library in Dublin is the exact experience I wanted but never imagined when following in the footsteps of the author of Dracula. A heavy iron gate stood open, leading me through an arch in the grey stone wall. Places like this can be intimidating, but multiple signs along the way assured me it was open to the public. When I stepped inside I couldn’t help but gasp. I stood at one end of a […]

One of my favorite states in the U.S. is Colorado. During my last big road trip I spent several weeks driving, hiking and biking through its mountains. Nestled high in the Rocky Mountains at an elevation of over 10,000 feet, Leadville, Colorado, is a hidden gem for adventure enthusiasts. This historic mining town offers a plethora of outdoor activities, but none are as exhilarating as the ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle) and UTV (Utility Task Vehicle) tours that traverse its rugged and scenic landscapes. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker looking for an adrenaline […]
