Mogadishu, Somalia is one of those places in the world. You’ve never heard a single good thing and you likely know nothing about it except it’s supposed to be scary. Honestly, it’s for pretty good reason. Somalia is 30 years into a brutal Civil War that has taken a huge toll on the once thriving […]

November 21, 2019 by Leave a Comment
Right after one day in Xiamen, I spent one day in Hangzhou and thought it was the perfect amount of time. Hangzhou is a city that is rapidly developing and there is a lot of construction. At the time of writing, they were building a brand new airport and honestly it seemed like 10,000 new […]

Just like one day in Guangzhou; one day in Xiamen is basically the perfect amount of time to see the best of what it has to offer. Obviously one day in Xiamen or any city means you have to do some hustling to see and do it all but it keeps you busy! Xiamen is […]

My Tahoe Reno Golf Media Tour

The Reno-Tahoe region of Nevada that is often overlooked. It’s overshadowed by glitzier Las Vegas to the south and other high-end mountain resorts in nearby states. Especially as an East Coast person, you never really think to go there. This trip was my third time to the Reno-Tahoe area and by far my best. I […]

4 Days in the Serengeti at the Four Seasons Safari Lodge I’ve been on over 70 safaris across all the major parks in Africa. Plus, many private game reserves from South to East Africa. Yet I had only been to the Serengeti once back in 2006. Albeit for ten days or so camping in the […]

May 18, 2019 by 8 Comments
Danzante Bay and the Islands of Loreto Danzante Bay and the Islands of Loreto have long been a secret.

However, Loreto […]
