Posted on 20. Sep, 2011 by Guest Poster.

This is a subject I’ve struggled with in the past and would be interested to hear other people’s viewpoints in the comments. There is something to be said for checking “must see” items off your life list – we all travel to some extent to “see” things when we go places. But what happens when [...]

Posted on 01. Sep, 2011 by Guest Poster.

My first scuba instructor loved to say that 70% of this earth is water, and if you haven’t been diving, you are missing out on a big part of this world. My name is Alexandra Baackes, and I am a scuba diving addict. I wasn’t always this way, in fact just two short years ago [...]

Posted on 12. Apr, 2011 by Guest Poster.

I have a pretty high tolerance for grossness so I can’t say that staying at a hotel has ever really bothered me. Ignorance is bliss I guess.
