It has been a month and a half since I’ve gotten a pedicure. This is normally not how I operate; but when traveling you don’t really get to treat yourself to the pleasantries of foot care. I had a free weekend so I decided to venture out and find a place to do some massive […]
Net-ti-quette
I made a big purchase today…my first motorbike helmet. I kind of feel like it is my first right of passage. Or maybe I should wait and label my first right of passage actually driving my own motorbike! No, that may need another title…like ‘Dumb Things I Do”. So for now – my helmet is […]
Want an Adventure? Ride A Nepal Bus

Driving in India
Up until now, I used to think that Vietnam was the craziest traffic I had ever seen in my life. Well…move over Vietnam…enter India. I am absolutely positive that the word clusterf#!ck was created here by some Westerner riding in a taxi around Delhi. In my month here in India, I heard someone say – […]
Back Into Thin Air – Mt. Kinabalu
View Borneo Photography I remember this feeling…the exhilaration, the pain, the lightheadedness, the ache in my body, the nausea, the determination. I’m back in high altitude again.

Piercing Palooza: Thaipusam
