Camping Azerbaijan

Hiking with Camping Azerbaijan

When Vasilii and Anna mentioned they were going on a hike with Camping Azerbaijan, I immediately perked up.  I’d seen the company’s Facebook page and liked the thought of dipping my toes into the Azeri hiking scene with a guided tour.The trek for the coming day would cover 9 km with almost 700 meters of …

Tbilisi City Guide

Tbilisi City Guide

Tbilisi has been my home for the past 2 months, and I’ve enjoyed exploring it and (mostly) eating as much delicious food as possible.  It’s a great city for foodies, history buffs, music connoisseurs, and winos alike — all things which made this city a fun one to call home.  I’ve put together most of …

Reasons to Climb Kilimanjaro

Five Epic Reasons to Climb Kilimanjaro

Africa is known for many things: its stunning wildlife, a staggering variety of cultures, and jaw-dropping landscapes.  One thing it’s not known for is mountains.  There is one peak, however, which draws thousands of visitors each year, and it looms over the Tanzanian savanna like a slumbering giant.  It’s a dormant volcano that towers nearly …

How to Get to Davit Gareja from Tbilisi

How to Get to Davit Gareja from Tbilisi

One of the perks of living in a country as small as Georgia is the relatively short amount of time in which you can access nearly any part of the country.  Tbilisi is a great base from which you can do a number of awesome day trips.  Visiting Gergeti Trinity Church at Kazbegi is one.  Exploring …

Day-trip to Gergeti Trinity Church

Day-trip to Gergeti Trinity Church

My memories of travel are a series of snapshots, vignettes of particularly potent experiences in each destination. A chance encounter, an adventure gone awry, or a spectacular meal cooked to perfection. Oftentimes, those vignettes are tied to the catalyst which led me to be interested in visiting that place to begin with. Descending over Ulaanbaatar …

Things to do in Mtskheta

Five Things to Do in Mtskheta

While Tbilisi is the capital of Georgia and has been so for centuries, there was a time when the title belonged to another city.  From the 3rd century B.C. to the 5th century A.D., the ancient kingdom of Kartli (or Iberia, as it was known in the West) occupied this territory with Mtskheta as its …

One Last Ride

One Last Ride to Daewonsa

Some of my most memorable — and certainly most exciting — travel memories are tied to motorbikes.  Whether that be my first ride across the Mongolian steppes, riding around both islands of Samoa with my friend Melissa, or my multi-day scoot to Taroko Gorge and back, I’ve had some truly epic adventures.  But one thing …

Hiking Sinbulsan

Hiking Sinbulsan in the Yeongnam Alps

Whenever I’m away from mountains, I feel their absence.  For those drawn to them, they are irreplaceable in our souls.  It’s not just their beauty that draws us, but also the challenge they represent.  An anvil to strike ourselves against to see the strength of our mettle.  It has been far too long since I …

O Hotel Pune

How to Unwind in Pune

Pune is a city of many facets.  Historically, it is the former seat of the Maratha Empire formed by Shivaji — a warrior-king from the 17th century.  Academically, it is known as the ‘Oxford of the East’ due to the several well-respected educational institutions located there.  These days, it’s a seat of power for the …

Motorcycle Ride to Okgye Valley

Motorcycle Ride to Okgye Valley

Sleipnir had languished, relegated to being a beast of labor and nothing more.  Back and forth, the same old routes every week — work, work, work.  The whole point of owning a motorcycle is the feeling of freedom that it brings, and I was only using mine as a commuter vehicle.  So when my friends …
