This isn’t just any hot dog…I speak of the infamous Sonoran Hot Dog. How these treasures haven’t spread internationally, is beyond me – but I’ve seen them start to pop up in places like San Diego and Salt Lake City, so I feel it’s only a matter of time. Sonoran Dogs were born and live…

The explanation is long overdue. While I never tire about talking travel, I think it’s most efficient to write a short blurb answering the questions on the topic I get asked about the most: traveling fast. Many of my friends, family, acquaintances and readers often ask me how and why I travel so “fast.” Common…

March 2019: I didn’t necessarily mean to fly all the way around the globe…but after all the flights were booked, it just kinda laid out that way. Here’s what the route looked like: San Francisco (west) to Singapore, to connect for the Maldives. Three nights in the Maldives, then a direct flight to Sri Lanka…

My 2016 trip to Nauru was everything I expected and more…far, fun, bizarre…it was so cool to be in a place virtually no one else goes. I published a blog on Nauru when I returned and received mostly positive feedback from Nauruans, telling me they were glad that someone finally wrote about the beauty of…

I’ve flown Delta, United and American Airlines hundreds upon hundreds of times. Spirit, JetBlue and Southwest…of course! KLM, Air France and Mexicana, sí! All the “standard airlines,” check! Maybe that’s why I appreciate experiencing new and downright obscure and bizarre carriers when I travel overseas. For me, the weirder, the better. Could be the funny…

“Those” people… We’ve all seen it: folks on the plane who have no concept on how to behave as civilized grown-ups. You scratch your head and have to wonder, “Who raised these people?” How hard can common sense and the most basic of manners be to practice, especially on an airplane, where you should be…

My uncle summed it up best when he told me that “I have more balls than brains.” That was his message to me on facebook when he discovered I went to North Korea. I can’t argue with him. He’s probably right. And now, I’m sitting here shaking my head at my decision to travel to the world’s…

Humble Beginnings Where do I start? I’m going to attempt to write about a trip that happened over 10 years ago. Luckily, I snapped a few photos and videos, and still have my airline itineraries saved to my email – so I’ll try and piece the details of this trip together the best I can,…

Humble Beginnings Argentina was near the very beginning of my exploratory travels, at country number 11. Besides Brasil and Mexico, most of my traveling experience was made up of quick cruise stops with my family…pretty much jumping off the boat for a few hours with hoards of other tourists, to go on a pre-arranged “excursion,”…

I’m excited to announce that the Ramblin’ Randy Award for Best International Radio Station goes to (drum roll) Radio Skadar 107.9 in Beri, Montenegro! While it’s listed online as an Alternative station, that’s certainly not the type of music that I heard on my Sunday morning drive through the mountains. They were playing one of…
