I get asked all the time how to get World Cup tickets for Brazil 2014. The answer is short because there are really only a few ways; at least legitimate ways that will guarantee you seats. The lottery is long since over and if you didn’t get any you have a few options. The first […]
My TV Segment on Liberty Treehouse
April 30, 2014 by 1 Comment
Here is my 3rd of 4 segments I did for the Liberty Treehouse on The Blaze. This segment came out really good and is about travel manners. If you’ve traveled around the world then manners no doubt have come up on your journeys. They are always different and often entertaining. I try to capture a […]
My Appearance on Veria Living TV
April 29, 2014 by 2 Comments
This is the first of my two segments on Veria Living; a new network available on multiple different national cable platforms and online. It was a lot of fun and look forward to doing it again. I loved having a studio audience. This was actually the first time I’ve been in front of a studio […]
Cycling in Snowdonia

Cycling in Snowdonia: that just sounds like an awesome place to cycle or mountain bike. Sure enough-it is! Snowdonia National Park in North Wales is a beautiful piece of the world and a seldom-visited area of Great Britain-at least by mainstream tourists. Truthfully, cycling in Snowdonia in March (when I did it) requires some cooperation […]

I’m always asked about the photos I take and am in. I often get asked what my favorites are but it’s so hard to say. However, since I am way behind on my blog and I couldn’t motivate to write an actual post I thought this would be a fun, easy way to get back […]
Talking Frequent Flier Miles on Arise America
March 10, 2014 by 5 Comments
I recently appeared on Arise America on Arise TV talking about frequent flier miles and the way they have been and are becoming devalued. The recent news that Delta Airlines was going to a cash based frequent flier reward model sent shockwaves through the travel hacking world. Make no mistake, your miles are not worth […]
My Frommers Radio Appearance

I recently taped two segments on the Frommers radio show. Everyone knows Frommers the guidebooks and of course from the movie ‘Euro Trip’ but Arthur and Pauline Frommer also host a travel radio show and invited me to be on. It was a true pleasure to do the Frommers radio show and to meet Arthur […]
