…ome through this group virtually unscathed. I would be surprised if either New Zealand or Slovakia wins a game. I was in Prague to watch Slovakia play the Czech Republic and after a very ugly game they won but it wasn’t pretty nor have many of their other games. New Zealand barely even has a football association and the money from the world cup will help their fledgling association but don’t expect much from the Kiwis in South Africa although thei…

Aloha From Oahu

…spending a wonderful night in Auckland, New Zealand. It’s a shame because New Zealand may well be my favorite all time country or at least in the top five for sure but I will be back there soon for some stopovers to other Pacific Islands and some quality time in New Zealand as well. I will definitely need another Queenstown run on the South Island which may be my favorite place on Earth because of all the amazing adrenaline activities they have,…

My Year in Travel 2016

…Australia where I only had a day sadly before heading down to Queenstown, New Zealand-perhaps my favorite place in the world! I never wrote about it but it was so amazing before I hopped on an Azamara cruise in Dunedin and the Otago Peninsula in New Zealand. The cruise also stopped at fun destinations like Cape Kidnappers, Picton, Hobbiton, Tauranga and Auckland. A few of which were new for me but the highlight was Hobbiton for sure! I then heade…

…ery second of doing! I even got to see the US play plus eventual champions New Zealand. Then I got really busy! I went to a wedding in Fiji; my 5th destination wedding of 2015 not including the one on the Bahamas in December which I haven’t even written about! From Fiji I did make up trips to Vanuatu where I found out that Vanuatu is one of the best places in the Pacific and the tiny island nation of Nauru. I did an essential travel guide to Nauru…

…ly supporting Team USA in Tokyo, so keep an eye on the jumbotron for me! New Zealand If you’re an adrenaline junkie like me, bungy jumping is a must here – one of my favorite New Zealand memories is jumping from Nevis Bungy near Queenstown. If that isn’t what you look for when vacationing, I’d recommend boogie boarding down the sand dunes or hiking up a volcano. Mexico If you love good food and sports, then Mexico City is the place to be. There’…

…e defending World Champions winning in 2011 when the World Cup was held in New Zealand. This was my first time seeing them up close and personal and I really had great seats. Needless to say they thrashed Namibia as expected and the atmosphere was phenomenal. During my 3 days in London I also did some other really cool things. I went to an amazing exhibit of old James Bond movie cars at the London Film Museum in Covent Garden. You may know how mas…
My Week in Samoa

…really eye opening. One of the local chiefs, who had left Samoa to live in New Zealand for a while and moved back, really impressed me. He was talking about how all he needs to survive is a small island with a coconut tree. It gives you food; drink, shelter and you can make things like coconut oil and nets to catch fish with it as well. It was a hell of a way to put things into perspective! Day 5 After a delicious breakfast at Saletoga Sands Resor…
