Our shared van sped across the mountains of northern Armenia seemingly on a race track - passing every vehicle in our path. At speeds like this, the drive was thrilling - and beautiful when we could catch glimpses of the surrounding countryside. Spring time has brought green grass as far as the eye can see interrupted by flowers blooming. This is why I enjoy chasing spring and summer around the planet - with weather such as this. Warm and clear … [Read more...]
7 Tips for Saving Money in Iceland
Iceland had long been at the top of my list of countries to visit. Everything I saw and learned about the island of roughly 320,000 people drew me in. The country’s unique landscapes have served as the background for the popular TV show “Game of Thrones”, the movie “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” (and others), and music videos for The Saturdays (my favorite), Bon Iver, and Justin Bieber. Despite Iceland’s limited population, Icelanders are … [Read more...]

Heli Ski Alaska? Heli Yes!
My penultimate bucket list ski experience has always been to heli ski in Alaska—miles of untouched powder and fresh lines for days. No lift lines, no resort creature comforts and nothing but badass skiing. As my blog will tell you, after a year of planning I was pretty stoked when my brother and I joined up with Dean Cummings’ H2O Guides to heli ski the 4,000 square-mile playground called the Chuggach Mountains near Valdez, Alaska. Whether … [Read more...]
A Grape Grows in Myanmar
The vines of Burgundy, Tuscany and Napa Valley produce some of the world’s most polished pours. While you can use many superlatives to describe these oenophile’s Disneyland, it’s a stretch of the imagination to describe any of these famed wine-producing regions as undiscovered. While Myanmar is no threat to Bordeaux as the next global grape deity, I was surprised that any wine at all is being produced here. The pagoda-laden landscape may not … [Read more...]
What to Wear When Skiing
With the ski season now in full swing, you may be looking to get in on the action. Before you hit the slopes though, you’ll need to know what to wear. If you’re wearing the correct clothing you’ll feel much more prepared, meaning you’ll enjoy the experience a lot more! Dressing in layers is far more effective than wearing a couple of warm items. Although it may sound easier and more practical to just wear a thick jumper and an insulated … [Read more...]

Founded in 1996, they are a pioneering company in the exploration of these parts of the world via cruise ships.
