The last of the adventures, taking me from Utila to home. It’s a lot of sadness, but I couldn’t be more proud of the last few weeks before leaving. The island was filled with adventure and joyful souls. Come join for the last of the adventures. Not exactly what I wanted, but I will be back, one day soon, with more tales of travels and exploration. Cheers!
Coming on the end of the travel blogs, and I’m floored by my blessings. Thank you for journeying with me and continue to enjoy my writings.
A gorgeous paradise exists in the northern Yucatan peninsula. A little hidden island is home to the most beautiful beaches, creatures, and people. Finding my way there is complete happenstance, but it’s so excellent I can’t wait to go back.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Please enjoy a story, past and present, to hopefully soften the dinner table in these tumultuous times. Be health, be good, savor whatever happiness you can find this holiday
A little adventure in the heart of Vietnam, with an excellent friend, SJ and a lucky save from a local.
A small story and huge photo drop of motorbiking in Vietnam. It’s a classic Vietnam travel experience and for good reason. The ability to get that close to the country is unparalleled and thoroughly worth every minute, risks and all. Sorry for the huge delay. So many things piled up, but enjoy the video at the bottom for a collection of rides and friends.
Thanksgiving is possibly my favorite holiday, and I was blessed to bring it as a gift for a group of Vietnamese and Travelers that I am proud to call friends. Follow my adventure, about 9 months in the past, as I continue chasing Bourdain’s ghost and, hopefully honoring his legacy. Happy Belated Tony!
Hanoi is a beautiful place. I run around, eating food, making and meeting friends, and seeing a new city. The people are ridiculously nice, from the boys in the public gym by the lake, to the hostel owners who invited me to lunch multiple times, to the Buddhism temple ceremony pictured.
In Old Town, at the Dali Lao Shay Youth Hostel, a collection of strangers make a home for a week. A blessed adventure.
I have a wonderful time for my first time in Hong Kong. In the midst of it’s civil unrest, I found a wealth of culture in many aspects. The multitude and magnitude of this unusual city make it’s one of my favorite destinations.
A quick summary of SCUBA diving and living in Koh Tao, South Thailand. Got an Advance Licence and scammed by the local mafia all in 5 days!
There are special places in the world. I found my beautiful home. I’m am just so grateful to have friends there, to have shared the space with amazing people. Also the freaking food! Oh My God. Anyway. Go to Pai. It’s amazing
My friends have had some bad days recently, and I am no exception. Even as I continue my adventures around the world. This one is not chronological to the story of my travels, but I believe it is important to share now. Cheers you lovely humans.
A random day from the most wonderful place in the planet, Pai, Thailand. I miss that town a lot, and I can’t wait to go back. My friends. I miss you. The adventure. The calm. The food. The people. What a slice of heaven on earth.
In Shanghai, I meet a Kansas City ex-pat who starts his own BBQ business. It’s fantastic and I write a review for the two excellent meals I had there.
A summary of some Chinese adventures including how I pushed myself too hard and found myself desperately sick in Xian, cutting short some of my China plans. But so many blessings. So many adventures. Very grateful to the world and to you readers and special shout out to Lomig for the save and fun!
I spend a day with my friend Dorothy in Heifei’s First International Hospital in the Radiology department. It’s a really weird adventure but super rewarding and a novel experience for sure.
Traveling through Hefei to connect and reconnect with Family. I make a great group of Ex-pat friends, but the “Paris of China” is not highly recommended on my travel list. Still, wondrous adventures!
Not Getting Lucky. Well. Sort of. Well, not that lucky. Just. Just read the post. 14 hours in Macau
