Las Vegas Dating Beyond The Strip

December 11, 2025 by DaveLeave a Comment

Too many queer people know what it's like to feel see-through. Friends and family look at you but they don't really see your person and its a devastating kind of heartbreak. Las Vegas' rapid pace and massive population takes that feeling and more than kicks it up a notch. In sin city where you can feel surrounded by thousands yet still invisible, having someone who truly sees you is its own form of safety. Relationships become a place to … [Read more...]

Chasing Wilderness: Why Tasmania Just Hit the Top of My Travel List

December 10, 2025 by Dave2 Comments

I have spent nearly 6 months in Australia over the past 20 years of traveling in this part of that world. I keep returning because of its geographic landscape, history, food, wine scene, and incredible diversity of experiences. And the fact that it never feels over crowded. But the one destination that has eluded me so far has been Tasmania. Recently I began thinking about exploring this island and began doing some research in preparation for a … [Read more...]

Taipei in a Flash: A Whirlwind Adventure Worth Remembering

December 1, 2025 by Dave2 Comments

A quick journey to Taipei was not meant to be. Rather than get up with the chickens at 430am in the Thai village I am staying in to catch a van to Suvarnabhumi Airport to catch an 11am flight, I opted to take a a van into Bangkok a day early at a reasonable 3pm departure. I didn't catch much sleep that night due to three women next door partying like it was December 31, 1999. The day of my flight, I left my hotel at 8am for the airport. The … [Read more...]

Ystad, Southern Sweden – December 2025

December 1, 2025 by DaveLeave a Comment

This picturesque town is a photographers dream, especially during late spring and summer. If the town was only historical buildings (of which there are plenty) it would be a beautiful place - but then throw in the gorgeous array of flowers and blooming trees during this time of year, and if its not too much to ask - warm days with lots of sunshine! For a small town (the core is only about 17,000 people) Ystad packs a punch for tourism. There are … [Read more...]

The Snowbird’s Complete Guide to Seasonal Vehicle Transport

November 25, 2025 by DaveLeave a Comment

It is that time of year, when those in the northern Hemisphere (myself included) start thinking about migrating to warmer climes for the winter. For me it's from California to Thailand. This involves a couple of long flights and some invariable jet lag. But for many others in the U.S. or Canada in terms of this seasonal migration, there are many more logistics involved. These snowbirds go beyond packing winter coats and sunscreen. One of the … [Read more...]
