Extreme Layover: Istanbull III

Istanbul, We Meet Again Each time I do this, I come closer to getting it down to a science. It’s a task alone even getting out of that giant new airport – The fact that it’s so far away from town just adds to to the challenge of enjoying a layover in the city. The…

Yo Adoro Comoro

With every passing minute on the island, I fell in love with Comoros a little more. It’s hard to explain – just a good, genuine vibe. Not a touristy, steel drum, sipping piña coladas-kind of vibe. But the feeling of being in a special place, with friendly people, who smiled and said hello and made…

The 5 Most Bizarre Countries I’ve Visited

Disclaimer: I don’t use the word “bizarre” as an insult. Quite the contrary: I absolutely adore these lesser-visited countries…especially the ones that your average person has never heard of. I mean, is it not absolutely crazy that entire nations–countries with their own languages, currency, customs and history–are out there, that most of us don’t even…

Tanzania Express

2 Fast 2 Furious I’ve been known to travel pretty fast, and have even been criticized that my style of stopping in to a country for one or two nights isn’t really “seeing” a country. While I completely disagree and refute that claim, I will be the first to admit that my time here in…

Wowie, Malawi!

Miles and Smiles The appetizer: a couple paragraphs about planning, pivoting and redeeming airline miles for this trip, so if that’s not your thing, feel free to scroll down to the good stuff – you won’t hurt my feelings. This trip (Malawi>Tanzania>Comoros) was salvaged from a bigger trip that I had to cancel. The original…

Best Soda

  I was on the border of Malawi and Moçambique (Malawi side), when I discovered my absolute favorite soda in the whole wide world! My driver Zinenani walked me across the street for a cold “Fanta,” however the vendor was actually selling a brand of soda called Sobo. I was hot and thirsty, and these…

Make Three Wishes – You’re in Mauritius!

Getting There My hotel (okay, resort) was a little over an hour away from Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport and in the opposite direction of the island’s capital and most populous city, St. Louis. It too, was almost an hour away. The airport here really was in the middle of nowhere. Perhaps that was the…

Sally Sells Seashells by The Seashore in Seychelles

Preface Africa is more than huge. It’s humongous. It’s an absolute behemoth for someone trying to visit every country on the continent. There are 54 of them! But despite the obvious challenges of time, distance and cost, there are a handful of countries in Africa that are either tough to get into as a foreigner,…
