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...]

Solo Camping in Prescott

November 9, 2013 by Sam LowyLeave a Comment

I've lived in Arizona my entire life and I have to say that, despite the politics and blaring heat during the summer months, it truly is one of the best places to live -- especially for nature lovers like myself. Only two hours north of the state capital, Prescott is one of the places that makes living in Arizona worthwhile. Filled with a rich history and culture-driven community, Prescott has been one my favorite places to visit in the United … [Read more...]

October 17, 2013 by Dave5 Comments

The Trinidad Scorpion is currently the hottest known Chili pepper on the planet. It is native to the Moruga district on the tiny island nation of Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean. I acquired a few seeds earlier this year. I saw references online from those cutting up a number of these particular peppers indicating they wore latex gloves. The potency of these peppers was such that they wore through these gloves! I finally picked my first … [Read more...]

Escape to Carmel-by-the-Sea

August 25, 2013 by Catherine Sweeney3 Comments

There’s no place like home, but when a trip is ending, I’m always a little sad unless I’ve got the next excursion in mind.
