Return to Havana

Hace 21 Años I hadn’t been to Cuba since 2002, when I literally had to sneak in. Cuba was off-limits to Americans when I first visited 20 years ago. It wasn’t Cuba, but The United States, who, by law prohibited “us” Americans from going there. It could be done, illegally and under the radar, but…

Randy in Greenlandy

Gotta Get to Greenland Greenland was more of an annoyance – an itch I had to scratch – than a dream destination. While not one of the fully-recognized-UN-193 nations, it was a place that I just had to get to. And getting there is more difficult than one would think. It absolutely bothered me that this…

Tokyo, Two!

The Second Time Around Very rarely can you top the experience of your very first time somewhere magical. Trust me, I’ve tried. Similar to a first kiss, the first time you watch that favorite movie, the first “anything” awesome, really. Chances are the repeat encounter(s) will never be as special as the first. To my…

Extreme Layover: Frankfurt II

This is Getting Ridiculous This was my fourth trip to Germany and, in total, to date, I’ve only spent but one night in the country. My first trip in was 2015, where I spent the night in a small town called Kusel, before heading to Luxembourg. The three trips after that, including this one, have…

Turkmenistan or Bust: My FINAL Country (193/193)

If I had to sum it up in one sentence, Turkmenistan was like one of those really weird dreams, full of things that “kind of make sense,” but also tied together with a string of really bizarre stuff.  Busted Yuliya: Unfortunately we will not be able to support your visa application for this event. Me:…

Desperately Seeking Syria

I was met with the overwhelming smell of citrus the moment I walked through the wooden doors and into the courtyard of the hotel. For some reason, all of my senses today seemed to be on steroids. Oh, those orange trees! All around me, a collage of marble, ceramic tile, stone, wood and stained glass….
