☘️Walking the Ring of Kerry in Ireland☘️ The first character appeared before I had properly begun. It was a horse. We had been walking the Kerry Way for only a day when we encountered it somewhere among the mountains and rain. The path was narrow. The horse was large. We stopped. The horse looked at us. We looked at the horse. He seemed the enthusiastic sort and kept following us. In the end, we took the sensible option and found another … [Read more...]

Points, Miles, and Real Money: What Loyalty Programs Are Truly Worth
Most reward programs are built to feel generous. Balances climb. Tiers unlock. A number sits in an app and looks like savings you have already banked. The trouble starts when that number meets an actual purchase, because the exchange rate is set by the company that issued the points, and it can move whenever that company decides. Loyalty currencies are not money. They behave more like store credit with a shifting price tag and an expiration risk … [Read more...]
Planning an NFL Road Trip This Season? Here Is How to Actually Do It Right
The 2026 season opens with the Seahawks hosting the Patriots at Lumen Field on a rare Wednesday kickoff, and by the following Sunday there will be games running from Charlotte to Detroit to Melbourne, Australia, where the 49ers and Rams open the international slate. That kind of spread across the map is exactly why late summer is when road-trip planning actually needs to start rather than the week before a game. Flights and hotel rates in any NFL … [Read more...]
Why Mt. Apo Should Be on Every Serious Hiker’s Bucket List
Mt. Apo is not just another mountain in the Philippines. It is the highest peak in the country, a protected natural landscape, and one of the most meaningful climbs a hiker can experience in Mindanao. For many hikers, Mt. Apo is the kind of destination that stays on the bucket list for years. It has the reputation, the elevation, the views, and the challenge. But after experiencing the mountain myself, I realized that Mt. Apo is not only about … [Read more...]
Chasing Adventure Across the Alps, Winter and Summer
The European Alps stretch for more than 1,200 kilometres across eight countries, but the experience varies dramatically across the range. In France, high passes and glacier terrain dominate parts of the landscape, while Switzerland has car-free mountain villages, and Slovenia’s Julian Alps rise in sharp limestone peaks. Even getting around can feel completely different depending on where you are and the time of year. In winter, ski lifts, deep … [Read more...]
The Creek Khunkorn, Chiang Rai Thailand – September 2026
The Creek Khunkorn is a small, nature‑immersed café hidden along the rural road that leads toward Khun Korn Waterfall, about half an hour outside central Chiang Rai. Walking in one quickly realizes this isn't a 'normal' restaurant in the conventional sense. Old license plates from the various states in the U.S. decorate a wall next to a bar and small covered seating areas overlook a stream. But keep walking and you will see numerous tables and … [Read more...]
The Santa Cova of Montserrat: The Chapel Where, According to Legend, It All Began
I live in Collbató, at the foot of Montserrat's southern face. When I climb toward the mountain along the Camí de les Coves, there's a moment I never tire of: as I round a bend in the path, a small chapel appears in the distance, wedged into the rock. This is the Santa Cova, and for many of us who live here it's the true spiritual heart of Montserrat, even more than the famous Benedictine monastery. This is the place where tradition sets … [Read more...]
How to Prepare for Mt. Whitney: Permits, Training, and Gear
Mt. Whitney doesn't ease you into anything. The standard route is a 22-mile round trip with more than 6,000 feet of elevation gain, done in a single push by most hikers who start well before sunrise and finish well after dark. At 14,505 feet, it's the highest peak in the contiguous United States, and the trail treats that fact seriously. People who show up undertrained, unpermitted, or under-geared don't summit, and some of them get hurt trying. … [Read more...]
A Practical Guide to Planning a Batangas Beach and Island Getaway
Batangas is one of the easiest provinces to recommend for travelers who want a quick escape from Metro Manila without booking a flight. It has beaches, diving spots, mountain trails, island-hopping routes, religious landmarks, and weekend-friendly road trips. But the best way to enjoy Batangas is not to treat it as one single destination. Each area has a different travel style. Some parts of Batangas are better for diving. Some are better for … [Read more...]
