Thank you, James Michener! I’ve learned a lot from your books over the years and the thousand pages of Iberia I just finished was no exception, an enlightening tour of Spanish history and culture. However, I can […] -

Thanks. Things worked out for the best. You make a good point about qualifications- one of those situations where more experience does not necessarily indicate more expertise.

Folks can debate about who puts out the best guidebooks. A lot of people brag about not using guidebooks at all, but the fact is it can be really helpful to have information in a format you’re familiar with. […] -

Problem with hanging out outside at night is that my blood is like crack to mosquitos. Even when I’m covered with pure DEET I get bitten. Urg! Anyone know the secret to preventing this?

Great post, Tiffany, on a really important topic. I would like to recommend the book “Your Money or Your Life” which is about applying these principles to life in general (not just travel).

I had done all the tasks I could think of, been to the internet café, caught up on my journal, lingered over dinner and chatted with other travelers while enjoying my two beers. Exhausted from the day’s […] -

Yes, I believe that was the first song I had to sing when I was dragged to the karaoke palace in Panjin. Fortunately I was doing a duet with Ally. I pretended not to notice that my mic wasn’t on.

Indeed! Kentucky Fried Chicken made me a vegetarian and the effect has lasted over 20 years.

I heard some Korean pop music in Laos. And of course the Mexican music would make me feel right at home.

DanDan, the twenty-year-old daughter of my Chinese host family, had decided that we would go to KFC for lunch. I wasn’t thrilled, but when in Rome do as the Romans do, and in China, American fast food was […] -

So glad you got to have a good shark experience, Wynna. I haven’t got to see a whale shark yet, but I really want to. My best dive was a close up experience with a leopard shark.

I SO understand. My first extended overseas trip lasted 15 months, mostly in the Middle East. More than anything in the world I wanted to see moss. Then, when I became exhausted by the politics and religion, I […]

Unfortunately, there’s dog fighting here in Mexico too. The way I see it the bullfight is the most fair. At least with bulls, there is a good chance that the humans can get hurt as well. Not something I […]

Living in Mexico and studying Spanish/Latino culture has sparked a secret desire in me that I dare not reveal to any of my gringo friends. I want to see a bullfight. I can’t deny that it’s cruel to animals. But […] -

Wow- what a fabulous destination! If you’re into zip-lining I recommend The Gibbon Experience in northern Laos. You get to zip around all you want for a couple of days and then sleep in tree tops!

New Zealand is wonderful. Every town I went to was guaranteed to have two things I really appreciated: 1) a public bathroom that was so clean you could eat off the floor, and 2) a hike, mapped or very well […]

I had done some international touring in my 20s, but had I really done overseas adventure travel? I wasn’t sure. It all depends on your definition of adventure. Journeying to New Zealand in my mid-thirties I was […] -
