Recently Chandra and I found ourselves in India for a good friend’s wedding. It wasn’t our first trip to India so we thought we’d check out a neighboring country while we were there and managed to get very reasonable flights up to Nepal. After the wedding in Goa we flew back to Mumbai and then up to […]

Meeting a Real Princess in the Principality of Hutt River
I had been researching exactly what to do on my upcoming trip to Western Australia (WA) when I came upon something extremely interesting – the Principality of Hutt River. This principality it seems is an independent “sovereign” state located in Western Australia about 500km north of Perth. Apparently around 40 years ago a farmer by […]
Visiting the Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho via the Sani Pass
Today began at the palatial Fairmont Zimbali Resort outside of Durban. It really doesn’t get much better then the Fairmont Zimbali – it is most certainly “Style Hi”. Even though the day was beginning in South Africa, today would be spent in the mountain kingdom of Lesotho (pronounced locally as le-soo-too) just a few hours away from […]

For many of us, the day had begun at four o’clock in the morning but sleep was the last thing on my mind as military vehicles took their places in front […]

Their colonies are beaches or warm islands! In other words, these are the smart penguins. Boulders Beach Boulders Beach is the site of […]
Quad Biking in Namibia

I really didn’t expect that tearing through the dune trails at whatever-kilometers-per-hour (“super scary fast”) would do it for me, but it totally did. It was the perfect mix of adventure and also was […]
Running Down the Sossusvlei Dunes in Namibia
Running down a sand dune has to be one of the most unexpectedly fun things to do. Even standing at the top of one of the famous Sossusvlei dunes in Namibia, I had my doubts. Would I slide straight down the dune? Would my running result in a hilarious yet dangerous “ass-over-teakettle” situation? Would I […]
Boudhanath Stupa: Kathmandu, Nepal
In the Kathmandu Valley, along the trade route from Nepal to Tibet, lies the Boudhanath Stupa. The stupa (Buddhist place of worship) is one of the largest in Nepal, and in fact, the world. It is an oasis of religion; monks, prayer flags, prayer beads and mantas are set aside from the congested streets and piles of rubble […]
