Traditional Japanese ryokan room with tatami floors, calligraphy scroll, and low table in Kochi, Japan

Most visitors to Japan follow a well-worn path: Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, maybe a day trip to Nara. And for good reason — those cities are extraordinary.

You know that feeling when you are sitting at your desk, just staring at a spreadsheet and dreaming of an escape? For me, two names always pop up. Seychelles and Zanzibar. But here is the thing. … [Read more...]

7 Van Essentials: What to Know Before Your First Van Trip

December 29, 2025 by DaveLeave a Comment

Some of my favorite road trips are to California's Eastern Sierra Nevada mountains, winding my way south into the desert, especially Death Valley and the Mojave.
