…as quite ill and got seriously annoyed at people unable to be quiet but I knew what it was like so it is my fault. I did manage to meet some really cool people on Beachcomber including three British guys; Nick, Joe and Bav who I will be seeing in New York in a few weeks as they stop by on their around the world trip-if they make it out of Beachcomber alive that is and all the crazy Aussies! The food on Beachcomber is very good and the prices are v…

…eat and music make me think of travel. I feel like I should be on a bus in New Zealand staring out at the rain thinking about an amazing life changing experience I just had from a week in Queenstown-drinking with people from all over the world and risking my life on a daily basis. “All I want’s to find an easy way to get out of our little heads” is just one killer line in this song that just sounds so powerful and doesn’t ever get the recognition…

…a wonderful place, what made it special to me was that I re-met a girl I knew from New York, who I ended up dating for 4.5 years. That whole thing came about because of Beachcomber Island. Then back in 2009 or 2010 I was in and out of Fiji 4-5 times because I was visiting a bunch of different South Pacific islands and as I always say, in the South Pacific, all roads lead to Nadi. So I had 2 nights in Fiji before a flight to Vanuatu and decided to…

…pitable during the winter. They travel to the coasts of Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti, and Hawaii in a quest for new surf spots and introduce locals to the sport. When the movie was first shown, it encouraged many surfers to go abroad, giving birth to the surf and travel culture, which prizes finding uncrowded surf, meeting new people, riding the perfect wave and just enjoying life.

…of the holidays. To do this I first searched what Starwood hotels were in New Orleans and then I decided to go with the Westin New Orleans Canal Place. Aside from a great location right on the Mississippi River (above), it was only 10,000 Starpoints for a free night as a category 4 hotel. So for my peak weekend in New Orleans, it only cost me 20,000 Starpoints and I could use the remaining Starpoints for other amenities during my stay or for futu…

I think I went at one of the best times to do the heli ride. The greens are out in full bloom, the lakes look marvelous and the weather happened to be amazing the day I went; which always helps! The pilot will take you basically wherever you want to get some good photos and he’ll give…

A quest to go everywhere basically and to venture places I had never been and in some cases; pla…
