Untamed Paradise: Exploring the Galápagos Islands

April 10, 2026 by Dave1 Comment

The Galapagos islands have long been on my radar, but a visit has so far eluded me. There are few places left in the world that I'm certain feel so untouched. The Galápagos Islands located roughly 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador—are certainly one of those places. Remote, carefully protected, and biologically unlike anywhere else on earth, they are not simply a destination; they are an experience that reshapes how you think about nature, … [Read more...]

Porto or Lisbon: An Honest Comparison for Travellers Planning a Long Stay

March 29, 2026 by Joao BurnsLeave a Comment

The Porto-versus-Lisbon debate has been running for as long as budget airlines have served both cities. For a weekend trip, the answer barely matters - both are excellent and you should visit both. But for travellers planning a month or longer, the differences between Portugal's two major cities start to matter in ways that no weekend can reveal. I have spent extended time in both. Here is what I have learned about living in each, rather than … [Read more...]

St. Augustine, Florida – March 2026

March 1, 2026 by DaveLeave a Comment

This charming and picturesque city is the oldest continuously inhabited European settlement in the United States having been founded in 1565. Located about 50 minutes south east of Jacksonville, the city is located along the coast on the eastern part of the state. Its reach is small enough to navigate with short drives or by foot in the very historic downtown area. The city offers numerous highlights both historical, architectural and natural. … [Read more...]

The Insider’s Itinerary: How to Find the Real Hunter Valley (Beyond the Big Names)

January 5, 2026 by David HenryLeave a Comment

The Hunter Valley is a bit of a legend in Australia. As our oldest wine region, it carries a certain weight. But for a first-time visitor, it can be... overwhelming. On my first trip years ago, I made the classic mistake: I bounced between the three giant, famous wineries you see on every billboard, tasted the same two styles of wine, and left feeling like I’d missed something. I had. The real soul of the Hunter isn't on the main road. It's … [Read more...]

Chasing Wilderness: Why Tasmania Just Hit the Top of My Travel List

December 10, 2025 by Dave3 Comments

I have spent nearly 6 months in Australia over the past 20 years of traveling in this part of that world. I keep returning because of its geographic landscape, history, food, wine scene, and incredible diversity of experiences. And the fact that it never feels over crowded. But the one destination that has eluded me so far has been Tasmania. Recently I began thinking about exploring this island and began doing some research in preparation for a … [Read more...]
