Check out my latest ABC Las Vegas travel TV segment that I did live this morning on the Morning Blend on KTNV. I have done this show dozens of times and always when I’m here in Las Vegas. Today’s segment focused on my recent completion of all 60 US National Parks. As always there was […]
Fairbanks is Basecamp Alaska
August 6, 2018 by 15 Comments
Fairbanks is basecamp Alaska. That’s the best way to put it. Everywhere of note, especially in Central and Northern Alaska is reachable from Fairbanks. Plus, the city has a lot to offer in and of itself. My third visit to Alaska brought me to Fairbanks for the first time and the whole massive state opened […]
Four Days at Casa de Campo, Dominican Republic
July 25, 2018 by 5 Comments
Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic is a place I had heard about for years but just didn’t know that much about it. I knew it was a resort and they had some golf and it was about an hour from the Punta Cana resort area. So spending four days at Casa de Campo […]
Astana is a Fascinating City
July 23, 2018 by 15 Comments
On my last trip to Kazakhstan I remember being mad I didn’t plan to visit Astana. I was so concerned with fitting all the Stan countries into my trip that it was too far out of the way to visit. In hindsight, I’m glad I skipped it because it wouldn’t have been nearly as interesting […]
My Experience at the World Cup Russia 2018
July 9, 2018 by 18 Comments
My two biggest passions in life are sports and travel. So the World Cup is basically the greatest thing ever. I have been to World Cups before but I never really made a whole thing about it. However, after a Euro 2016 road trip in France that took me all over France, I decided to […]
The New Allianz Travel Insurance Sharing Economy Index is Out
June 22, 2018 by 2 Comments
It seems crazy to me because I use them nearly everyday but according to the new Allianz Travel Insurance Sharing Economy Index, half of Americans are unlikely to use sharing economy services for 2018 summer travel. This is despite reporting high familiarity and better value for money. This has a lot to do with the […]
Tough Sledding in Rocky Mountain National Park
June 21, 2018 by 3 Comments
Rocky Mountain National Park was the one that got away. I’ve been to Denver some 10 times and done several road trips around Colorado but I never went. It’s only 90-minutes from Denver but it’s a good 45 minutes off the main highway down a state road. So it wasn’t convenient. However, I finally made […]
Theodore Roosevelt National Park is Impressive
June 20, 2018 by 4 Comments
Theodore Roosevelt National Park was a complete mystery to me. First, it’s located in Western North Dakota so it takes some effort to get there. Second, I didn’t know much about the Teddy Roosevelt relationship beforehand. Nor did I know that the Badlands extended up that far but looks different than at Badlands National Park […]
My Experience in Wind Cave National Park
June 19, 2018 by 4 Comments
Wind Cave National Park was a park I wasn’t very interested in visiting. I have been inside many caves around the world. In fact, I’d say I’ve been in many of the best caves in the world like the Postojna Caves. Plus, I’ve been in Carlsbad Caverns, Mammoth Caves and Great Basin National Parks; which […]
