Travels

I've traveled to more than 50 countries across five continents, and one thing I've learned is that the best travel stories rarely go exactly according to plan.

I've explored ancient temples in Egypt, squeezed through the underground passages of Vietnam's Son Doong Cave, sailed through Norway's spectacular fjords, and wandered the colorful streets of Buenos Aires. But some of my favorite memories have nothing to do with famous landmarks.

They're the unexpected detours, the fascinating people, the meals I couldn't identify (but ate anyway!), and the occasional misadventures that make travel so much fun.

I love a little luxury, a lot of adventure, and getting beyond the usual tourist attractions to experience what makes a place special. Whether I'm exploring a remote village, diving beneath the ocean, or figuring out how to get home when my flights have been canceled, I'm always up for another adventure.

Come explore the world with me! I'll share the places I've been, the people I've met, and the stories I've collected along the way. Hopefully, you'll find a little inspiration for your own adventures, too.

Galapagos Unveiled: A Nat Hab Adventure, Part Two

If it was not clear from my previous posts on our trip to Ecuador (read them here), I truly fell in love with this small but biodiverse country. Because of its recent history and people's ideas about what it is like, tourism is still down in this amazing place. Many...
