Discover the ultimate indulgence of hanging 1,200 feet off a cliff in the Sacred Valley, Peru – Interview with Natalia Rodriguez, General Manager of Natura Vive

September 25, 2021 by Teh Chin Liang1 Comment

A ray of sun broke through the clouds and the morning mist, illuminating the valley in sparkly golden gold. The surrounding mountains cast a long shadow over a vast expanse of farmland cut by a river meandering through the valley. This is the Sacred Valley of the Incas, a lush green valley lies in the heart of Urubamba Province, Peru – about 35 miles from Cusco, the gateway to Machu Picchu. Up on the edge of a mountain cliff, three transparent … [Read more...]

Dalat, Vietnam, City of Flowers and Fun

April 1, 2021 by Dave3 Comments

We drove up from Mui Ne to Dalat - beginning at the coast with hot and humid temperatures passing by fields of dragon fruit plants. As we drove we began to climb into the mountains, leaving the dragon fruit farms behind, replaced by coffee trees growing on steep hillsides. It is refreshing to be in the mountains with the cleaner air and crystal clear skies. We arrived during the week of Tet, the Vietnamese and Chinese New Year and the city … [Read more...]

Why do I Travel Solo?

December 1, 2020 by Teh Chin Liang2 Comments

When I tell people I am going on a long solo trip, often eyebrows are raised followed by a barrage of questions such as: 'are you out of your mind?' - 'what are you going to do being alone in a foreign country?' - 'won’t you feel lonely?' - 'are you sure it is going to be safe for you?' and 'isn’t it weird doing things alone all the time?” The questions persist and at times I feel like in a military video game on the defensive - holding a bullet … [Read more...]

Adventure on the River: West Virginia Whitewater

September 8, 2019 by Amber MacPherson1 Comment

It was July 4th at the New River Gorge in West Virginia. It was dark, and I was on the roof of a truck clinging to the roof rack as we wound through the twisting back roads en route to the edge of the gorge. This had not been the plan. We had ended up loading the truck down with a couple of kegs and as many raft guides as we could fit after the trailer that was supposed to deliver us to the party developed a flat tire. We had unhitched it and … [Read more...]

MGM Springfield: The Fresh—and Fun—Face of History

November 4, 2018 by Tom BentleyLeave a Comment

Ahh, NOW I see why those Old Fashioneds were appearing on our table like multiplying rabbits. Those canny mixmasters at the MGM Springfield’s Commonwealth bar were thinking if I had a snootful, I’d likely order their $25,000 “Indian Sidecar” drink, which is made with a 1901 Croizet cognac. Oh, I guess I should mention: if you do buy the drink, it also comes with a new Indian motorcycle. Why a 1901 cognac and why an Indian bike to go along with … [Read more...]
