Puppy Love Around the World
If you know me in real life, you probably know that I love dogs. I’ve always loved them and now that I’m headed out on the road and a puppy is something I absolutely can not have, it’s become a kind of obsession. Luckily for me, dogs are pretty universal throughout the world. I can’t [...]

18 June 2010
Sigh… This time last year I was here. This frosty glacial lake is filled with icebergs which have broken off the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier. They really are that blue- thanks to the way that the light penetrates them. This inlet is a really popular tourist attraction in Iceland and has even been featured in a Bond [...]

A couple of weekends ago my FAVORITE travel companion, Liz, came to visit. She’d never been to DC before so we spent a couple of days doing the typical sweaty sightseeing in the thick DC humidity. Seriously, DC becomes an asphalt sweatbox in the summer. Once we’d had enough of that we decided a daytrip [...]

13 June 2010
Getting sick abroad is not fun. Getting REALLY sick while traveling is the absolute worst (trust me, I’ve been there). Because I prefer to spend my time on the beach, not in the ER, I went in for a travel medicine consultation a couple weeks ago. I visited that Capitol Travel Medicine clinic in Arlington [...]

11 June 2010
Fishermen’s Wharf in San Francisco, with it’s street performers and t-shirt kisoks, is about as touristy as you can get. So it was a pleasant surprise to stumble into the cool and dark Musee Mecanique. This museum of antique coin operated games, peep shows and animatronics is something out of an RL Stine novel, but [...]

4 June 2010
Today’s images were contributed by Jason from Locationless Living. While in Rio De Janeiro he had a chance to visit some of the famous favelas, or slums. The picture above is some local kids playing the drums for extra money. The second is a view of the favelas, which are often built illegally on the [...]

30 May 2010
Back in February, when I was suffering through the torturous Snowpocalypse, it was really hard to believe that warm weather would ever return again. Springtime always makes me think of England. Although their winters are even longer and darker then around here, they sure know how to take advantage of the weather they do have, [...]

Last week I asked you what places you would like to re-visit and boy did you ever answer! I can’t remember the last time I got that many responses on a post- and they were all so thoughtful! Here were the highlights: Some of you guys wanted a second chance in order to be more [...]

21 May 2010
It was a gorgeous June day when I attended my first (and probably last) cricket match in South London. Despite the fact that my good friend was playing, the game lasted approximatly 6 hours and I understood approximatly 0% of what was happening. And we lost. Still, any afternoon spent sitting in the grass drinking [...]
