Torrey Pines Gliderport – December 2017

December 1, 2017 by Dave2 Comments

One of the highlights of the San Diego coastline is a stop at the historic Torrey Pines Gliderport located on the coastal bluffs north of La Jolla. First established as a soaring site in 1928. Gets very crowded - with both those coming to paraglide, or those learning to paraglide or those simply coming to watch those in the sky. Plenty of parking immediately near the gliderport - but this parking lot often fills up so there is another dirt … [Read more...]

Praise the Sun

April 5, 2017 by Mark NLeave a Comment

For many, yoga is a daily practice. It is a ritual they undertake in a class as part of a group, alone in the privacy of their home or, if they are very lucky, outside communing with nature. Performing the Surya Namaskar on a hilltop in the Serengeti was an unexpected, but inspired move by Demi Piriya who is a yogini who grew up in Thailand, but currently resides in United States. This is the story of how Demi found spiritual inspiration on her … [Read more...]

Fin Whale Skeleton Puerto Penasco Mexico

Do you find yourself staring out your office window at the snow and gray sky day-dreaming about fishing on the ocean in your flip-flips with a cold beer?

Mongolia, Land of the Horse People

February 12, 2017 by Abdul Rastagar1 Comment

It’s almost impossible to tell the story of Mongolia without inevitably mentioning Chinggis (Genghis) Khan. Seven centuries ago, he exploded onto Mongol and world history with a sonorous impact that still reverberates throughout the nation today. But there is far more to Mongolia than our fanciful musings of green, pastoral steppes trampled by marauding hordes of nomadic warriors on horseback. Indeed, Mongolia is a study in contrast, a traveler’s … [Read more...]

Finding a Great Guide in Guadeloupe: Security Guard + Convenience Store

January 22, 2017 by DaveLeave a Comment

Wandering the streets of Pointe-à-Pitre I thought I would head over to the cruise ship terminal and see if I could hook up with an in English tour (like I successfully did in Martinique). However it was another story here. The only info station I could see was behind the gates of the cruise ship terminal (and without being a passenger on one of the cruise ships I was not allowed entry). I yelled through the gates to attract the attention of the … [Read more...]

You know? Sleeping in an airport ain’t so bad

March 23, 2016 by Will SandovelLeave a Comment

Traveling for me is the memorable experience of exploring countries that few have had the privilege of visiting. I have travelled to many countries around the world; during my journeys I have experienced both amazing, yet sometimes even unpleasant things. One of these unpleasant experiences is when you look up at the monitors in an airport and see that your flight has been severely delayed. If you fly, you are certainly familiar with this - … [Read more...]

Best Beaches in Bali

July 25, 2015 by Nikki Near And Far5 Comments

White sandy beaches. Coconuts. Aquamarine waters. Colorful coral. Epic surf spots. That’s the vision dancing in people's heads when they book a beach trip to Bali, and with a little luck, that’s what they’ll find. But while Bali’s beaches can be all of the above, overly crowded tourist spots and heaps of trash piles can leave not-in-the-know vacationers wondering if the fabled beaches really exist. On my arrival in Bali, I fell victim to … [Read more...]
