Travel is not all about seeing new places, eating interesting foods and meeting new people. As with all the good things in life, it also comes with the bad things in life. Stomach bugs. I had previously written about how I discovered seasickness on my travels and the time I got eaten alive by mosquitoes …
I found out about Blablacar through locals that I had met in Europe. The French ride-sharing service is alittle like Airbnb- essentially, drivers list their trip on blablacar and you can pay for a seat and be a passenger. The website has a review process where you can rate the driver and their driving skills …
Many developed countries are in the midst of a vaccine roll out and there has been chatter here and there about a so called vaccine travel passport. In these conversations, people compare it to the yellow fever vaccine passport. It seems bizarre to me that we are comparing this COVID19 vaccine which, let's face it, …

This region is well known for contributing Tequila and Mariachi in Mexican Culture. The annual Guadalajara International Film Festival is held here and the Guadalajara International Book Fair which …
I have travelled alone internationally and domestically but the final frontier was to travel alone in my own state. This was accomplished a few weeks back.

I think I'm drawn to all the lights, it's a …
