My Two Loves: Travel and Tacos

Last week I got about two dozen emails from friends around the world, alerting me to McCormick‘s newest (and just ingenious) employee posting for their very first “Director of Taco Relations.” WOW! For those who don’t know, I’ve been an over-the-top taco fanatic for decades. Watch the video below for proof. The application window was…

My Visit to Akrotiri & Dhekelia

The Club Most of my friends and readers know I’m on a pretty distinct mission: to travel to all 193 countries on the planet. While 193 is the number of UN member nations, there are, however, many other “lists” besides that most-common “193.” The Travelers Century Club counts 329 countries. Their list includes many territories,…

Tunisia…Take Two

I don’t know if I was scared, nervous, confused, or excited. I mean, I wanted to do some super-legit stuff in Tunis to make up for that first trip, but wow, this was surreal. The Do-Over This was actually my second trip to Tunisia, as I could not, in good conscience, count my first time…

Cyprus Hill

It’s Complicated My country #164 was Cyprus, but it’s not that cut and dry. Cyprus is an island consisting of three nations, actually – and that only depends on whom you ask. The history of Cyprus is long, complicated, and—to me—incredibly intriguing. I’m just recently learning about this country and its borders, suitors, invaders and…

Exploring the Abandoned City of Varosha, Famagusta

Roofs caved in, staircases fallen, windows shattered and nature taking over – this is what happens when a whole town is neglected and left to decay for nearly half a century. And I loved every part of it – except the backstory, of course. Stranger Things I was enjoying a beautiful swim in the emerald…

Hey Bey-Bey: Let’s go to Lebanon!

Sittin’, Waitin’, Wishin’ I’d spent the last six months without treats and braving an insane intermittent fasting plan. I managed to lose 27 pounds with the sole purpose of eating my way through Beirut. I’d never been more excited about the food of any country and knew if I didn’t shed some serious weight before…

“Can’t Believe It’s This Close!” – My Trip to La Paz, Mexico

I’ve been serious about travel (like, really serious) for a little over a decade. When people find out how much I travel and how many places I’ve been to (162 countries to date), the most common question/assumption that follows, is: You must travel for work! Defeated, I tell them, “Nah, just for fun (womp-womp),” adding,…

December 2020 West-African Trip Re-Cap

Even I admit, attempting to travel multiple counties in Africa on a tight and fast schedule during the pandemic was silly, risky and maybe even dumb, no doubt. But I’d secured the perfect route and mileage redemption into the unseen (by me) disputed territory of Western Sahara nearly a year ago. I’d already canceled so…
