“The first thing that comes to mind about Antarctica is not likely food. But if you are going to spend any time there it should be the second."
Yokonami's Girl Gangs
The images took me right back to my childhood, to moments of carefree exploration that are so incredibly rare now. Sometimes I get glimmers of them when I travel.
Antipodes: Upside Down Worlds
Where would you end up if you were to dig a tunnel straight down from one side of the world to the other? I've dreamed about this very notion since I was a kid, a shortcut to the other side.
Learning to be a Sustanaible Traveler
With every trip, I am trying to figure out how to be a better traveler, and how to impact the places I visit in a positive way. It is really important to me to support businesses that conserve natural resources and sustain local communities
An Unexpected Discovery
A little while after I posted my father's account of a roadtrip he took in 1977 to the USSR, I noticed a lot of the traffic to this site was coming from Russia and the Ukraine.
Panamanian crafts & chocolate
I spent a few weeks traipsing through the jungle and island hopping in Panama and Costa Rica, with only a backpack (and a fiend). Needless to say, spare room was scarce, but this stuff really was worth cramming in there.
Pemberton Music Festival
A few years ago, when some friends and I joined the masses at Coachella, it was hot, crowded and frantic. I swar we spent more time in search of water and each other than we actually did listening to the music.
Alajuela, Costa Rica
Alajuela was our last stop. Really, it was just meant to be a spot near the airport to have a shower and a snooze before catching our flights home. But the city turned out to be incredibly photogenic.
Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica
I can’t describe the Costa Rican town of Puerto Viejo without resorting to cliches— white sand beaches, jungle-lined roads made for biking, fresh Caribbean food and plenty of sunshine.
Panamá/Costa Rica Border
Here are a few tips that might make your crossing a little smoother.
Öribë Chocolate Farm, Panamá
Öribë Co-op operates from a 600 person Ngöbe native village where 30 families tend the 100% organic cocoa production.
Bocas del Toro, Panamá (Part 2)
Bocas Town on Colon island is the commercial hub of the area, buzzing day and night with visitors and locals alike, as well as an impressive range of accommodations, restaurants and nightlife.
Polo's Beach, Panamá
One day while staying on Bastimentos Island in the Bocas del Toro area of Panamà, Julie and I set out in search of a local legend.
Bocas del Toro, Panamá (Part 1)
I have a thing for islands. There is something about the isolation that preserves a sort of microcosm, in a way the mainland cannot. The Bocas del Toro archipelago sounded like the ideal place to taste Panamanian island life.
Boquete, Panamá
My best girl, Julie, was spending some quality time in Central America so I couldn't resist the opportunity to join her (plus we've never travelled together, whaaa?).
Baku, Azerbaijan
From my friend Clint who brought us Yes, you can be a tourist in Afghanistan comes another destination less traveled—Azerbaijan.
Weekend: New York IV
Another hot, extra-long weekend in NYC! Here’s the run down of what we did with recommendations that can be enjoyed all summer long.
The Book Shop
The thing that’s putting a smile on my face today (and making me want to cross-reference my shelves to my closet) is the mini project of 'shopgirl' Eleisha—matching her vintage outfits to equally fetching book covers.
A Smitty for Let's Get Lost!
I'm really honoured to announce that Let's Get Lost is a runner-up in the Independent Travel Photo Journalist/Videographer category at the 2014 Travel + Leisure 'Smitty Awards'.
Live from Belgrade Transit
I've long been getting a laugh (and the occasional face palm) from the Facebook account Live from Belgrade Transit. Riders submit photos from their daily commutes bringing to life many of the city's urban legends.
