Meat Lovers Parrilla Tour

1 Comment 02 April 2013

It’s 11:30PM, you are drinking Malbec and socializing with friends across a long table.  The noise is deafening – but it’s the noise of joy, fun, and laughter that only friends can share.  Your waitress brings out a big plate of sizzling meat and sets it in the middle of the table with a cloud [...]

Mate Manners

5 Comments 28 March 2013

The Cebador hands me the cuia, I pause for a moment and think about everything I have learned. I slowly extend my right hand looking him in the eyes and giving him a slight nod. I take the first drink from the bombilla careful not to move it around but instead let it sit stiffly [...]

The Berlin Experiment

9 Comments 20 February 2013

I’m not a huge fan of science.  In fact I made it all the way through college without taking a science class with a lab component – I focused on physics and astronomy instead.  But for my next travel adventures I will be adjusting my nerdy glasses, dawning a ‘virtual’ lab coat and grabbing a [...]

On the [...]

Exploring a Familiar City

2 Comments 25 October 2012

I’m still amazed at how much fear enters into every little piece of my life. I’m not necessarily talking about terror or intense fear – but more like things that intimidate me and stop me from being curious and adventurous. It creeps inside me everyday no matter how many stamps I have on my passport. [...]

Hawaiian Lei Culture

3 Comments 16 October 2012

While in in New York City for a month I’m dreaming about my next destination, the Hawaiian island of Lanai.  One of the things that struck me on my last trip to Hawaii was the culture and industry around leis.  A lei is basically any series of objects strung together with the intent to be worn.

The Ultimate Scrub Down

8 Comments 14 August 2012

I lay on the hot marble all alone taking deep labored breaths. My breathing seems to echo throughout the white dome. The two large old women who were wearing panties only had left me about 25 minutes ago from what I could tell – or was it 10 minutes – I felt as if I [...]
