Earlier this week I published a post abo… Continue

Travel Tips: The Indian Train Experience

Earlier today I was reading this great post by Dave and Debra at theplanetd.com, India Rail, Train Travel Tips and Tricks. It’s very helpful and chock full of useful information. I was struck by how different is was from the India Rail piece I had been contemplating — the main difference being, I think, that it was very helpful and chock full of useful information. Now, it’s been a while since I was in India — 10 years, in fact. Apparently things have changed a lot. You can book your train tick… Continue

My 3 Best Kept Travel Secrets

Here’s the deal: Katie at Tripbase had the very clever idea to post her best 3 travel secrets, then ‘tag’ 5 others to post theirs. Jodi at LegalNomads was kind enough to tag me, so I’m gonna take my best stab at it. I’m arriving late to the party (as usual), so I suspect most of the good ones are already taken. “Pack less”, “bring more money,” and “avoid Nigerian investment opportunities” have probably been covered extensively. But fear not, I will blindly stumble forth – forsaking fear, doubt,… Continue

Getting Ziggy With It - An Interview & Photo Shoot with Ziggy Marley!

This post is a bit late in the coming but in September Randy arranged for an interview with Ziggy Marley. I was lucky enough to get photo rights to the concert and was able to photograph him for the first couple songs. The minute he walked out on stage it was obvious that he was related to the great Bob Marley. With his high cheekbones and long dreads, he looked just like him! Last year, Ziggy Marley’s performance at the Del Mar Racetrack drew jeers from some concertgoers over the open use of m… Continue

China Travel Guide

China, one of the oldest civilizations on Earth, is a fantastic nation to visit. Its striking mixture of the modern and the ancient, with skyscrapers being located mere miles from pagodas, and with rice paddies only minutes away from bustling cities, along with its rich history and culture make China one of the top tourist destinations in the world, with a little something for everybody. Most who embark on a China tour will end up in its capital city, Beijing, which is home of one of the seven… Continue

Samoa Tsunami Hero. Meet 'Tele'

Lalomanu Beach, Samoa. Four days after the Tsunami. The bodies have been carried away and the funerals are over. But the beach still looks exactly as it did a few hours after the wave struck. Smoking ruins. Sandals, sunscreen, pillows, cell phones and passports still lie scattered among the splintered… Continue

Bungy Jumping in Taupo

New Zealand is home to a number of adventure activities – from skydiving, to white water rafting, to jet boating, to bungy jumping. Prior to my move to the Southern Hemisphere, I never seriously considered the act of throwing myself off of a bridge. Seemed foolish. Seemed dangerous. Seemed terrifying. And it was. Shortly after arriving in Auckland, I came to realize that it would be wrong not to toss myself off of a bridge. AJ Hackett established the world’s first permanent, commercial bungy j… Continue

Socialize Your Travel Photography

Even the most experienced travel photographers make a simple mistake. It has nothing to do with the quality of the photos they take, is independent of the quality of their camera, and has little to do with composition. I'm not talking about how to take stunning shots of the local pe… Continue
