I recently had the opportunity to fly on Turkish Airways to get myself to the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic Games. I typically don’t write airline reviews but this is the third major international trip I’ve used Turkish for and they’ve been pretty great. I felt I owed it to them to highlight some of the […]

Ulaanbaatar Mongolia in a Day
I can’t imagine what you are doing in Ulaanbaatar. It’s an extremely random place to find yourself. I can only imagine you’re stopping off on the Trans-Siberian Railway. You probably know already that Lonely Planet describes Ulaanbaatar as “an ugly scar on an otherwise lovely country.” Sadly, this is pretty accurate. Ulaanbaatar is the surplus […]
Countries That Are Screwing Over Americans (Because We Screwed Them Over First)

A Day Trip from Lisbon: Sintra, Portugal
Despite the fact that our trip to Lisbon, Portugal was only for a long weekend, it is always nice to get out of the city! Portugal, and Europe in general, has the distinct advantage of being quite small and packing in lots of history, architecture and landscapes into a tiny geographic area. Just 30 minutes […]
Sochi 2014 Olympic Roundup
My time in Sochi is something I will never forget. I don’t think I’ve ever worked on a project that was so equally rewarding and exhausting. In 26 days I traveled 11,824 miles by plane. More remarkable is that in the same time I also traveled 1,238 miles by bus. That’s almost exactly the distance […]
Is Sochi the Future of Airport Security?
There’s no question that the organizers of the 2014 Winter Olympics did an amazing job with security here in Sochi. There are technologies and protocols in use here that I have never seen anywhere before. Although they can sometimes be irritating, it strikes me that this may also be a preview of what’s to come.
