You know it’s funny. I’m on a cruise ship in the Middle East, it’s hot as can be and everything is honestly perfect. But I keep thinking about an upcoming trip I have to Antarctica early next year and I cannot wait! Once you’ve been to the ice, stood on it, seen it, and felt […]

October 25, 2016 by 21 Comments
I love Dubai. A lot of people rip on it but I love it. I accept Dubai for what it is and I embrace what it has to offer. It’s over the top for sure: it’s like Las Vegas without casinos. It’s not without controversy from questionable labor practices. It’s mind-blowing, frenetic and at the […]

If you’ve ever listened to any of my interviews, I always say that studying abroad in college was the best thing I ever did. It opened my mind to the world and really changed my life completely. Had I not studied abroad I’d never have done 90% of the travel I have done and that […]

Sao Tome and Principe is that small two-island nation in the Atlantic off the coast of Africa that you’ve never thought about! It’s pretty far from anywhere in North America and it isn’t cheap or easy to get to any way you slice it. It’s not the most beautiful island you’ll ever go to but […]
