Ten things to do in Guanacaste

Ten Awesome Things to Do in Guanacaste

In the northwest corner of Costa Rica, tucked just under the southern border of Nicaragua, is the province of Guanacaste — a place of volcanoes and rainforests, rivers and beaches, classic colonial architecture and extreme water sports.  Covering almost 4,000 square miles, the province has much to offer visitors; here’s a guide of ten awesome …

The Great Pacific Northwest Roadtrip

The Great Pacific Northwest Road Trip

I love a good road trip.  There’s nothing quite like the feeling of setting off to some distant place, knowing it will take you days to reach it, not knowing what adventures await you along the way.  There are many reasons I enjoy living outside of the US, but few places can rival my homeland’s …

Reasons to Visit Anacortes

Reasons to Visit Anacortes

Traveling from Seattle north along Interstate 5 will take you to Bellingham and eventually Vancouver in beautiful British Columbia.  It’s a tempting bit of highway to breeze along, skipping all the drive-through towns in Snohomish and Skagit Counties for more intriguing destinations further north.  You certainly could, but it would be a mistake. You’d miss …

How to Spend a Weekend in Baku

How to Spend a Weekend in Baku

Baku is a bizarre place.  A mash-up of fascinating historical architecture and Islamic influences combined with a modern and thriving city center that feels more like Western Europe make it a bit confusing to get used to — at least for me.  But it’s an awesome city and well worth spending at least a few …

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 …

Jukdo Market

Jukdo Market in Pohang

Before Pohang was a steel town, it was a fishing town.  Its proximity to the fishing grounds of the East Sea makes it a perfect harbor for grizzled fishermen and their bounties. A huge variety of fish and shellfish are found in these waters, including the Pacific herring used to make gwamegi — a Pohang …

Five Things to Do in Hualien

Five Things to Do in Hualien

Hualien is a smaller city of 100,000+ people on the east coast of Taiwan.  Sandwiched between the Pacific Ocean and Taroko National Park, it is a great base from which to explore some of the finest natural beauty Taiwan has to offer.  That said, here are five things to do in Hualien!

Riding a Scooter

Riding a Scooter from Taipei to Taroko and Back Again

It’s been an adventure-less summer.  Breaking my leg at the end of April meant that I spent most of the season getting to the point where I could walk again.  While I’m still not 100%, I am finally able to be active, so I was eagerly awaiting my trip to Taiwan to meet up with …

Five Attractions in Svalbard You Shouldn’t Miss

Norway has long been on my list of dream destinations for a whole host of reasons — not least among them my distant family still living there.  So when Agness and Cez came to me about writing a guest post recommending attractions in Svalbard, I was excited to see what they’d come up with.  Read …

Best Sights on the South Island

Eight of the Best Sights on the South Island of New Zealand

New Zealand is one of those places that take your breath away on a continual basis.  Its two islands are vastly different, but both intriguing in their own ways.  The North is a hive of geothermal activity: volcanoes, hot springs, and hot water beaches.  The South is chock full of wilderness: epic mountains, beautiful fiords, …
