Friday Postcard: Hoboken, New Jersey
I may owe New Jersey an apology. After years of family road trips up and down the turnpike, I may have agreed with the common “America’s Armpit” assessment. That was until I had a Jersey native offer to show me more of what his state had to offer. After spending a sunny evening sprawled on [...]

2 September 2010
During a recent trip to Sri Lanka I had the pleasure of taking a three-day train ride through the Tea Mountains. The first leg of the trip was about two hours and went from Ella to Hepatale. A days rest in Hepatale to explore the Tea Plantations, drink the tea and enjoy the peaceful mountain [...]

The House of Terror in Budapest is more than just a museum, it’s a memorial to the many, many Hungarian victims of fascism and communism during the long 20th century. The building that houses it was once a prison and torture center for political dissidents. The history here is still raw and painful, but it’s [...]

20 August 2010
About 50 km South of Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, is a pristine coastline of white sand beaches mixed with rugged rock formations. You can rent a villa or apartment for a decent rate and enjoy the peace and quiet of the serene environment. In the morning fishermen walk the beach with their morning catch offering [...]

10 August 2010
I wasn’t actually in rome for Christmas, just until December 23rd. It sure felt festive though: It was a great time to visit; festive and cheery, lacking in tourists and good weather. It might have been geography, or just luck but compared to chilly Venice and Florence, Rome was downright pleasant. At times it seemed [...]

30 July 2010
Today’s photo was contributed by frequent commenter Abhijit from The Corny Traveler’s Chronicles: This is a photo I took at the Fotu La Pass en route to Leh (Ladakh,India) from Srinagar (India). The Fotu La is the highest point on this road, and is located at a height of 13,479 ft (4,108 metres), and one [...]

27 July 2010
After Venice, the next stop on my mini-Italy tour was Florence. Unlike the canal city I’d never had my heart set on visiting Florence, never dreamed about it as a kid. Still, Florence has a reputation for being well loved, and I stuck it in my itinerary in hopes of getting a picture of what [...]

20 July 2010
All my life I wanted to go to Venice. As a little girl, looking through my parents National Geographic, I used to clip photos of this magical and mysterious city. The streets were made of water! This exotically subversive idea delighted my 8-year-old brain. The fact that it was sinking added a sense of urgency. [...]
