After connecting online with a fellow travel blogger - Thor Winther, of Winther Worldwide, some months ago, I was pleasantly surprised when he told me he had purchased a flight from Copenhagen to Bangkok and was interested in meeting up. Timing worked out so that he was able to visit our village several hours east of Bangkok. The last time I touched our drone was on Koh Tachai Island in Southern Thailand - after takeoff on the silky white … [Read more...]
Maho Beach, Sint Maarten – October 2016
This tiny sliver of sand is located at one end of the runways at Princess Juliana Airport. Considered on it's own it would be another fine example of Caribbean turquoise waters framed by smooth sand. But based on it's unique location to this airport, it has become somewhat legendary in the circles of plane spotters. And the reason for this is one can stand directly on the beach and look up in awe at jets passing extremely close overhead (often … [Read more...]
Sand Dunes and Sunset Kiteboarding in Jericoacoara
Jericoacoara - Think sand dunes, warm water, strong winds, and epic kiteboarding sessions. Oh, and a cold Caipirinha while watching the sunset from the sand dunes after a hard day... What used to be a small fishing village has long become a mecca for wind water sports such as kiteboarding and windsurfing. Located 300 km west of Fortaleza, Jericoacoara, or Jeri as it is commonly known, is a great place to experience windy activities but also to … [Read more...]
Chasing Waterfalls in Samana
There is a famous song in the 90's by TLC which advised not to chase waterfalls, but to stick with the rivers and lakes that you are used to. But what if you could have it all? I believe that we should chase waterfalls, metaphorically and physically. If we don't chase after waterfalls to places and dreams we aspire for, then how would we ever reach paradise? I set out on a journey to Dominican Republic in June for the first time to a … [Read more...]
Tori James, Adventurer and Speaker
I briefly met Tori earlier this year at a travel blogging conference (Traverse) 16 in Cardiff, Wales where she gave the opening welcome speech. Her adventures are nothing short of amazing, reaching the summit of Mt. Everest at age 25, participating in the first ever all-female team in a 360 mile race to the Magnetic North Pole (successfully reaching the pole), and significant cycling, kayaking and other outdoor adventure feats. She is an … [Read more...]
A Grand Venue for Country Tunes
Even if you’re not a fan of the style, there’s something about live country music in the actual country that makes it vastly entertaining. I’m not into country music, but last summer, atop a nearly 10,000-foot mountain under a Colorado sky bluer than any I’d ever seen before, with snow-dotted southern Rocky Mountains on the horizon and nothing but fresh air and great tunes all around, I converted in a hurry. At least for that day. The … [Read more...]

The American’s Guide to Martinique
We decided to go to Martinique purely because we found extremely affordable tickets nonstop from Boston. Norwegian Airlines (yes that is a real airline) now has a direct flight from Boston to Fort de France for $220 which almost sounds too good to be true. Prior to stumbling upon these flights, we knew absolutely nothing about the island, but after our week-long adventure we consider ourselves experts and wish to share our new-found knowledge … [Read more...]
