This has been the best World Cup I can remember without a doubt. There has been so much drama and great play by some of the top players that it has exceeded expectations in terms of entertainment value. The World Cup however, does not have any GREAT teams, even still at the semifinal point in […]
My Latest Frommers Radio Segment
July 7, 2014 by 2 Comments
I love doing radio. I love talking travel. So it makes sense that I do a lot of travel radio. You have probably heard me before on some of the biggest travel radio programs like Peter Greenberg or Rudy Maxa and of course the Frommers Radio show. START LISTENING FROM THE 12:00 MINUTE MARK UNTIL […]
The 30 Best Beaches in the World
July 3, 2014 by 41 Comments
Picking the 30 best beaches in the world is a completely impossible task. There are as many beaches as there are people in the world seemingly and so many are so nice. I could easily do a list of the 30 best beaches in each country and I may well do that very soon-at least […]
Molokai is the Most Interesting Island in Hawaii
July 2, 2014 by 11 Comments
Molokai is the least populated of the inhabited Hawaiian Islands but certainly one of the most beautiful. Molokai is a step back in time; it feels like something out of the South Pacific like the Marquesas Islands or the Solomon Islands; certainly not America. Molokai is laid back and slow-paced but there is much on […]
One Day in Canberra, Australia
June 26, 2014 by 10 Comments
Quick…What’s the capital of Australia? You don’t know do you?! Hint, it’s not Sydney and it’s not Melbourne. No, it’s not Brisbane or Perth or even Adelaide! It is Canberra. You know that city that everybody dreams of visiting when they think of going down under. Admit, you have never heard of Canberra and know […]
Satellite Media Tour for Guinness Storehouse
June 25, 2014 by 1 Comment
I recently did a satellite media tour (SMT) for Guinness Storehouse and a few other products. If you’re not familiar with satellite media tours they are basically short live infomercials across 25-30 local network affiliates all around the country. They also include several radio interviews as well. It is a long and exhausting day where […]
The 30 Best Airlines in the World
June 23, 2014 by 41 Comments
How do you choose the 30 best airlines in the world? The simple answer is you fly a lot! I have accumulated over 5 million frequent flyer miles over the last 14 years and would have had a bunch more but I didn’t start joining programs until 2000. Needless to say in visiting every country […]
Fall of the Berlin Wall Anniversary Tour
June 17, 2014 by 5 Comments
It’s hard to believe that the 25th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall is approaching. I was only 11 years old when it happened but I remember it vividly. Even at 11, I knew I was living in history. That momentous event started a domino effect in Eastern Europe and led to the […]

Hiking Mount Kosciuszko in Australia
June 9, 2014 by 9 Comments
The seven summits are the highest peak on each continent. To achieve climbing the seven summits is about as rare as traveling to every country in the world; very few people have actually done it. In 2006, I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa; which is the highest peak in Africa and was my first seven […]
