A Look Into Expedition Cruising
Expedition cruises are for many, an opportunity to do something truly outside their comfort zone and go to truly off the beaten track destinations. With itineraries spanning the Artic to Antarctic, Kimberly Islands, Galapagos and Patagonia, just to name a few, how can your inner explorer not be curious?
Reasons to River Cruise
You’ve seen the commercials and maybe you’ve even known a person or two that has done a river cruise, but maybe you’re still skeptical about why you would want to choose this option over the more well known sea cruise products. Here I break down some of the top reasons why you should consider a river cruise for your next adventure.
Tantalizing Tanzania Part 4: Ruaha
For some reason I can’t quite explain, our time in Ruaha was and remains my favorite part of this trip. Maybe it is the seclusion and isolation that you get in being in a park that is both considerably larger than the Serengeti, while also being much less visited than its famous counterpart. Being so remote really puts the wild heart at peace as your experience of being at one in nature and the universe becomes visceral.
Tantalizing Tanzania Part 3: Serengeti, Loliondo Game Conservancy & Mara River Crossing
For our trip into this huge national park, we chose to stage within the game conservancy in a Northern region that borders the Masai Mara lands of Kenya. We like to dedicate at least a part of any safari trip to a private concession for a multitude of reasons related to experiences you cannot have inside most national parks, not the least of which, is the option to off road for special sightings.
Tantalizing Tanzania Part 2: Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro Crater is a very unique landscape set and the world's largest unbroken caldera in the world, where the majority of the animal population is resident and doesn’t participate in any migratory pattern. It is known for its amazing abundance of wildlife and diversity, as well as, having several different ecosystems all contained into this collapsed volcano.
Tantalizing Tanzania Part 1: An Introduction
Picture rolling verdant hills in the horizon studded with abundant exotic wildlife… Not exactly what comes to mind when you think of the Serengeti, is it? At least it wasn’t for me. I envisioned windswept yellow and red grassy savannah for as far as the eyes could see with thousands of wildebeests plodding along together in their endless search of rain as the followed The Great Migration roadmap.
Blame it on Mexico! (Or How to Survive a Hurricane with Lots of Drinking)
So being from Texas, I have made countless trips to Mexico; Its’ border, its’ capital city and of course, the Yucatan peninsula and all its great hotspots like Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Cozumel and Isla Mujeres. While I wouldn’t say I am an expert on travel there, I feel like I have some relatively good advice on things to plan for when headed down south for a beach vacation in particular. Even so, this last trip caught me by surprise. And with its many near fiascos, it had come to a point where I felt like I might be in my own type of Truman Show, where things kept happening to the point of comedy.
