Brasil has been like that Eddie Murphy song that goes, " . . . party all the time, party all the time . . . . party all the tiiime."! Jeff and I had a great time in Salvador. It...
From Buenos Aires, I bussed my way to Bolivia checking out the Andes, wine country, and Santiago-Chile along the way. The bus system here is great; comfy seats and movies that have gone from Movie to DVD to S. American...
Hola everyone! I am in Buenos Aires. I am on my last continent getting into the swing of things here. There is always a transition period when switching from regions. I am easing into it by going to Tango shows...
I'm in Berlin now, but I just spent 30 days in Russia, most of it training it from Vladivostok to St. Petersburg on the Trans Siberian Railway. You pass small villages with big gardens that grow food for the winter...
I just spent 10 days in Kamchatka, Russia looking for brown bears. Kamchatka is a huge peninsula that juts into the ocean at that eastern edge of Russia. It is still a pristine and unspoiled wilderness. Our group of 11...
Mongolia is totally awesome. Gregory, Sebastian, and I just got back to Ulaan Baatar from a 9 day jeep tour through the middle part of the country. After driving 9 hours the first day, we spent the afternoon and night...
I have been in China the past two weeks. I started in Xi'an and saw the terracotta warriors. 6,000 of them were burried in tombs to help the emperor fight in the afterlife. They were found by a farmer in...
I spent 10 days in Tibet, 5 of which consisted of being shaken and vibrated in a bus like you can not believe. I felt like Scotty in Star Trek, "Capt. she can't take much more, she's braking up!" The...
The Himalayas are fantastic. Truly the most spectacular mountains I've seen. I guess that is probably no surprise, but they beat my expectations. I flew into kathmandu a few weeks ago and met my guide/porter, Kancha ( sounds like Can...
"I think I'm going to Kathmandu . . . . I think I really, really want to . . . " Come on, sing it with me! Off to Kathmandu tonight! The rest of my trip in India was great....
Rajasthan has been very interesting. I have hired a car and driver ( named Raj appropriately enough ) and we have been doing a loop through the land of kings. It's desert here and the place is filled with former...
On the road again! It felt strange flying to Bangkok after spending February with family and friends. I have seen a lot in the past 3 weeks. Right now I am at a beautiful tropical beach called Thong Nai Pan...
Bula from Fiji, Time has been slowing ever since I started, but I think time has actually stopped here in Fiji. It is a very relaxing place. I came here to surf and I've had some good surf. They are...
New Zealand has been Sweet As or Good As or Flash ( all local slang for really good )! It has been a whirlwind. I flew into Christchurch on New Year's Day and made it to the southern part of...
I hope everyone had a great Christmas and will have a great New Year. Australia has been fantastic. I will be sad to leave. Each time I've gone on to a new location, I've been ready, but not this time....
