Prem, The Tour Guide I Met in Nepal
I went for a 3 days 2 nights trek while in Pokhara in the end of December 2014.

The Allure of Disney World in Orlando
Having made multiple trips to Florida over the years (the first one was in the middle of the summer in the Everglades - think heat, high humidity and a serious mosquito problem, you would have thought that trip would have turned me off of the sunshine state forever).

Trek Into Wilsons Prom, Australia
This year we decided our summer holiday was not going to be spent fighting impatient crowds at the airport or tourist crowds in fancy resort towns. No, this year we were going to take it slow – slow down, slow time, and live in the moment. So what did we decide to do? A 14km return walk into the Victorian wilderness. Now stay with me here. It may sound strenuous – and trust me, it was – but what a way to get back to the essentials of life, … [Read more...]
