El Nido is a municipality that lies in the northwest part of the Philippine island Palawan. The name comes from the Spanish word “nido”, which means a nest. Indeed, lots of tiny swiftlets live in the area and build edible nests in the limestone cliffs - hence the name. El Nido attracts travelers from all over the globe.

August 15, 2019 by Dave23 Comments

A number of islands in Thailand or beach destinations, especially in the southern part of the country can be over tourist-ed at times and or are destinations for travelers who want to party. For many years I've been attracted to some of the islands in the north closer to the Cambodian border including one of my favorite islands in Thailand, Koh Kood. However, recently I made the trip to Koh Mak, a tiny neighboring island accessible via one of two … [Read more...]

Banjul to Varela: Where?

May 15, 2019 by Dave9 Comments

As I stepped into the Range Rover under the dusty skies of Banjul in the early AM I was greeted by the familiar sounds of Don Williams. Fortunately he is my favorite singer so I was able to easily absorb about 6 hours of one of his cd's cycling through the same songs over what ultimately would turn into a 10.5 hour adventure before we reached our final destination in northern Guinea Bissau. Our journey involved several border crossing - going … [Read more...]

The Contrasts of Travel Experiences

July 15, 2017 by Dave10 Comments

The contrasts of travel create an intriguing dichotomy while on the road. Today is a good example of experiences on the extreme ends of the spectrum. I met a beautiful yoga instructor living on the island of St. Barths last week for about 5 minutes. This was in a "remote" part of that tiny island along the rugged shoreline in what the locals call the 'natural pools', a series of surf fed ocean water that creates several small swimming areas. … [Read more...]
