Natal em Bissau…UAU! (Christmas in Bissau…WOW!)

I’m so Excited (and I Just Can’t Hide it) I have a ton of photos, but first, some text. I need to preface this blog by explaining why I was so amped to see Guinea Bissau. Of all seven new countries on this December 2020 mid-pandemic West African itinerary, I was most pumped up about…

Where to Stay in Bissau: Compare and Contrast

Bissau, the capital of Guinea Bissau, is one of the least visited countries in the world, and one of the hardest places to get in and out of, due to an obscene lack of flights servicing OXB. In all of my travel experience (162 countries to date), I’ve never had a more difficult time visiting…

The Gambia

Well, hello #158! The Gambia was part of my December 2020 mid-pandemic West African end-of-year journey. I arrived into Banjul from Casablanca just before 2AM. My driver Kemo was waiting for me at the airport. We exchanged pleasantries on the way to my hotel. We’d have a lot more time to get to know each…

Lovin’ Liberia

Welcome to Liberia I wasn’t too excited about an overnight flight into my 157th country, but if you thought routes and schedules were bad in normal times, traveling West Africa during the pandemic–on a tight schedule–is nearly impossible. It’s amazing how small and close all these little nations are to each other, yet how difficult…

The Wild Wild West(ern Sahara)

I was really geeked out about this one. Western Sahara is actually not part of the infamous “193” list of fully UN-recognized nations. But it is part of the five “partially” recognized countries, often included in some people’s “197” or “198” list of countries. Let me explain… There are 193 fully recognized members of the…

The Rainia in Albania Lies Mainly on the Plainia

Grumpy Gus I wasn’t in Tirana but 90 minutes and I already wanted to go home. It was that rare but poisonous combination of being my very last stop (I was exhausted), raining cats and dogs (enough to have soaking wet sneakers), having just left my favorite country on the trip (Montenegro was absolutely stunning)…

A Tale of Six Cities: Montenegro

Hang Time My average stop in a country is somewhere around 1.3 nights per nation, so three full nights in Montenegro would be somewhat of a luxury for me. We can thank the fine folks in Bulgaria for turning me away, opening up some extra time for country #155. I’m actually glad it worked out…

Best Hot Dog

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…
