Stan #1: Kyrgyzstan

Stan Number One Sigh. The “Stans…” a magical and mystical group of five Central Asian nations that most Americans have never even heard of. There’s Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. I’d come to memorize those five names over the past few years (and even their capitals) as my mission to visit every country began…

Яandy Яambles in Яussia!

Well It’s About Time The most common response I’d been handed after telling my friends I was going to Russia: “You haven’t been to Russia yet???” Well there was no particular reason, really. There are 193 countries on the planet and I’m not necessarily seeing them in any specific order – besides trying to get…

Barging into Bulgaria

Nail Biter I held my breath and tried to look natural while I was waiting for the immigration officer to stamp me in. I never know where to look while they have my passport. Do I look at them? Or look away? I was just about to let out a sigh of relief when I…

Best French Toast

If you’ve read at least a couple of my blogs, you know my one vice isn’t alcohol or weed…it’s sweets! I have a major and insatiable sweet tooth. It’s hard to stay away from candy, desserts, cake, etc…I love it all! Which is why awarding a “Best-Of” nod to the French toast at Breakfast Republic…

Going-Going, Back-Back, to Cali-Cali

We rounded one tight corner and I swear a big truck missed our hood by a millisecond! My heart jumped out of my chest as I was certain this was a head-on collision. The big Jesus on the hill was watching over us – the vehicles missed each other by a hair. — Volver, Volver…

8 Countries, 8 Photos: June 2021 Trip Re-Cap

I’m a Ramblin’ Man My June 2021 journey was special for many reasons. First, it was the first itinerary cancelled due to Corona Virus. Originally booked in 2019 for travel in March 2020, I was really, really excited to hit the Lebanon–Cyprus–Malta circuit. But we all remember, it was March 2020 when all the Corona…
