I am not Lee Abbamonte. Let that be clear. Like Lee, I am a New Yorker by way of Connecticut, a traveler keen on places less-traveled—but I am not Lee, youngest American to visit every country on Earth. And yet on at least a few occasions, travel has afforded me the same returns and privileges it has afforded one of the […]
Edmonton: A City on the Rise
August 20, 2015 by 8 Comments
When you hear the name Edmonton, if you know anything about it, you probably think of hockey; the Edmonton Oilers; or Wayne Gretzky. If you really know Canadian sports; then maybe Warren Moon or the Edmonton Eskimos. But if you’re not into sports and you’re not Canadian or more specifically from Alberta, then you probably […]
Why I Love the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge
August 10, 2015 by Leave a Comment
I love nice hotels and I love good service. Hotels and service to me are kind of like scotch and Brussels sprouts; it took me a while to like them (or really care) but now that I do, I want and expect them to be top notch. With hotels, you don’t always get what you […]
Road Trip Around Washington State
June 23, 2015 by 8 Comments
Washington State, not Washington DC, is one of the most beautiful places in America. I have visited Washington State twice before, both times to Seattle and both trips revolved around sporting events-I tend to do that! This time, I planned a road trip around Washington State that would include visits to all three US National […]

Have you ever heard of Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin? I had heard of it but didn’t actually realize it until I was asked to participate in the #DoMoreCountry summer travel campaign for the Country Inn & Suites By Carlson, Chippewa Fall, WI where I have been compensated but all opinions are my own. I was excited […]

I love Alberta, Canada. I really do. I’ve had a lot of adventures there in recent years including going to Calgary for Stampede, Heli-Snowshoeing, Playing Pond Hockey on Lake Louise and Dogsledding in Banff. Aside from it being one of the most beautiful places in North America, it has a lot of secret adventures that […]

As most of you who follow me regularly know, I recently did a guys weekend trip to Fort Worth, Texas: the city of cowboys and culture. My buddy Johnny Jet and I did some really cool sports activities like taking an AT&T Stadium Tour, doing a VIP trip to the Duck Commander 500 and attended […]
AT&T Stadium Tour
April 27, 2015 by 1 Comment
AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas is the stadium equivalent of the 8th wonder of the world. The massive stadium that almost looks like a space ship is the home of the Dallas Cowboys and in it’s brief lifespan has already hosted a Superbowl, NCAA Men’s Final Four, the NBA All-Star Game, the NCAA Football National […]

This past weekend I went to Fort Worth, Texas for a guys weekend trip. This was my third trip to the city of Cowboys and Culture; which has become my favorite city in Texas. The whole weekend was a blast but one of the highlights was the Duck Commander 500 at Texas Motor Speedway in […]
Dogsledding in Alberta, Canada
April 2, 2015 by 2 Comments
Dogsledding in Alberta is one of the quintessential experiences that you really have to do in Western Canada. Much like playing pond hockey at Lake Louise, it’s one of those fun Canadian winter outdoor experiences that just has to happen! Before dogsledding in Alberta, I had only been once before and that was during a […]
