Bangin’ Around Bangladesh

I’d traveled down rivers in strange boats, explored a city island, visited churches and mosques, rode in rickshaws and taxis, and almost saw a guy get killed. Above all, I’d been just completely showered with smiles and hospitality from the moment I arrived in Dhaka. Insane in the Brain Absolute bananas. Those are the best…

Special Times in Sri Lanka

Magnificent Maldives

One of These Trips is Not Like the Others It actually took me a second to get used to not seeing soldiers with giant guns and armored UN vehicles patrolling the streets. I’d been spending the last two years knocking out as much of Africa as I could handle on my way to 193 countries….

Ceuta by Sundown

…the finest Spanish wines, plates of fresh olives just fallen from the tree, accordion players, and beautiful women teaching me the native dances of Ceuta.

My Visit and Visa from the Consulate General of Bangladesh – Los Angeles
