Extreme Layover: Frankfurt

Not Cleared for Landing Normally I wouldn’t have been so excited to visit Germany: Nothing against Germany, I love Germany…but it’s usually an easy place to travel to and a very common destination for tourists – a big departure from the rare-slash-risky places that get my adrenaline pumping. But this time was different: You see,…

I Kraine, U Kraine, We All Kraine…

Stop! Corona Time! It was late June of 2020 when I said I’d had just about enough of “sheltering in place.” I was ready to travel again. You might want to start HERE: I tell the story of traveling during this pandemic in great detail, including how I managed to weasel my way into the…

Hungary Like the Wolf

Hungary, Hungary Hippo I’ll spare you all the tedious details on how I managed to weasel my way into Hungary smack dab on the middle of the Corona virus global pandemic, but the fact that I was able to get in at all was downright glorious – a feat that made other travelers ask, “How…

June 2020 Trip Recap

First World Problems With deaths literally in the hundreds of thousands (and climbing), millions of job losses, countless family businesses ruined and the global economy annihilated, it would be pretty insensitive for me to cry “woe is me” over cancelled vacation plans…it’s the definition of champagne problems. I questioned whether or not I should even…

My Travel Style Explained: The Buffet

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…

Azores

Azores, We Have a Problem: About This Blog Entry It’s hard for even me to believe that there was a time in my life when travel didn’t excite me. But there was. There was actually a period of my life, when I would travel–mostly cruises, with my family–that I didn’t have that travel “bug;” that…

Afghanistan Banana Stand

What’s the Password? I kept going back to my teenage years, when an older co-worker at the radio station I worked for used to tell me that the secret word was “Afghanistan Banana Stand.” I always thought that was funny, and never in a million years could I have ever imagined that I would actually…
