Applying for a New Passport or Renewing a Passport? A few Details to Consider
After traveling for much of the past 20 years, a passport has became a critical part of my travel identity. I remember the anticipation and excitement of when I first applied for a passport.

Dalat, Vietnam, City of Flowers and Fun
We drove up from Mui Ne to Dalat - beginning at the coast with hot and humid temperatures passing by fields of dragon fruit plants.

Dubai, One of World’s Great Urban Attractions
While not one of the world's largest by population cities, Dubai certainly warrants great attention due to its rapid rise from being a sleepy fishing village to now home to some of planet's most iconic attractions. My visit to Dubai was a number of years ago - the city was surely much smaller then, but still, the city felt overwhelming.

Bern’s Steakhouse, Tampa Florida
One should wander into Bern's Steakhouse with a singular focus - in search of an experience. Whatever that experience is - it will differ from person to person - but it must involve enjoying an antiquity. An old bottle of wine, to be purchased and shared with strangers.
