“See that hummingbird? They appear frequently in murals because we have over 100 different types of them here in Colombia,” says Jay, my tour guide. Bogota would probably not come to most people's minds right away when thinking of the world’s great street art traditions. Yet, here I am, standing in the middle of the colorful La Candelaria district, surrounded by mural-covered walls everywhere I look. It is a veritable 360-degree immersive … [Read more...]
Pucon – Nature’s Playground
Chile sure has a lot of laid back and beautiful rural cities. And of all of these, Pucon has to be my favorite so far. The town lies on the shores of sprawling and beautiful Lago Villarrica, at an elevation of 227 meters, and surrounded in all directions by dramatic peaks covered in lush, green forests. Above all towers the glacier of the great volcano. Like the eye of Sauron, but perhaps less sinister, it keeps constant vigil over the valley … [Read more...]

i-SITE New Zealand, more than just a regular tourist information office
A tourist information office is conventionally known as a resource where visitors can learn about the local region. Generally, these are nondescript locales that seldom merit a mention. However, during my vacation in New Zealand, the local tourist information office took on a whole new meaning for me. Owned and managed by Tourism New Zealand, i-SITE Visitor Information Centers not only offer the best information to help tourists navigate, they … [Read more...]
Glimpses of Inle Lake, A must visit when in Myanmar
My formula for epic trips is something like this: travel with friends, seek out a diversity of unique and fun experiences, enjoy a bit of adventure, always imbibe in a bit of alcohol, find a balance between the natural and urban worlds, find good value for the money and meet other travelers. When Bohemian Vagabond suggested we visited Myanmar, I admit I wasn't super excited - having only visited once before near the Thai border and never … [Read more...]

From Los Angeles to Bogota – a Day Trip
Yup, you read the headline right. I made a day trip to Bogota, Colombia from Los Angeles, USA. I'm probably not the first one to do it, but I bet not many people have done it before. So how'd it happen? Mostly through my opportunism: I managed to squeeze in a stop in Bogota while on my way to Santiago, Chile. It wasn't really on my original plans but I had a choice of two flights - one with a 4-hour layover in Lima, Peru and one with a 16-hour … [Read more...]

Magical Mo’orea – a Stay at the Hilton Mo’orea Lagoon Resort & Spa
Words that come to mind when referring to the island of Mo'orea include ethereal, mysterious, remote, undeveloped and exotic. I've long built up the mystique of this island in my mind based upon stories my mother related from a several month trip she took to the South Pacific in the 1960s. Mo'orea was by far her favorite island in the French Polynesia. While Mo'orea has certainly changed since those days, a visit to the island is like walking … [Read more...]
