If you love the exotic, but cute animals you probably have dreamed of visiting the baobab trees in Madagascar. The popular Disney cartoon only popularized the idea even more, but believe it or not the island of Madagascar despite being a spectacular adventure to explore is not frequented by travelers. While I was at the…
I was looking for a quick African adventure, and I was not disappointed. Bissau delivered on the feel of being on the edge of civilization. When we landed we went straight to a hotel and we asked them what time the bus was going to leave. Online I’d heard it was sometime around 7, but…
When I told my guide I wanted to see the the wildebeest migration he told me I’d see so many wildebeest I’d cry. I was up for the challenge. This wasn’t my first African Safari, so I knew I wasn’t going to be satisfied with a herd of a few hundred wildebeest. The family I…
I long for places in this world that have experiences that will blow my mind. Madagascar achieved mind blown status and challenged me on some levels as a traveler. I’m so glad I decided to do it right and spend the time it takes to travel a large country with much to offer. Some how…
I recently got back from traveling across Central Asia. Some things have changed and some things haven’t.

I was debating doing a cruise from Seattle or from Vancouver, Canada but ultimately decided on a flight to Anchorage. It took me by surprise…
I am entranced with Morocco. There are few places in the world that do such an amazing job of preserving life as it was hundreds even thousands of years ago. Fez, has truly captured life as it was 1000 years ago. The Medina or urban center is the gated old city in Fez. The only…
I love travel mysteries and Gibraltar has lot of deep stories that make it one of the most powerful, interesting and mysterious places. It’s said that this place once held greek temple to Hercules and the caves inhibited by early man… maybe even the last hold out for the Neanderthal. There is a labyrinth…
Before when I thought of Panama, all I could think of was the Panama canal. Now I think of Islands. There are so many little islands off the coast of Panama. The only way to get around the islands is with boats. The boats are like busses taking you from place to place. The first…
I’ve visited South Africa on three different occasions and found it incredible each time. I would go at the drop of a hat. I still need to take my family with me, and yes if you were wondering. I would do that. Something that holds a lot of people back is they are sincerely worried…
