Mt Kilimanjaro, Climbing to the Top of Africa

Louis Amoroso is a popular life coach who uses travel as a medium to lead successful professionals to even higher levels of success in their careers and in their personal lives. Louis recently “scouted” Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania as a […]
Victoria Falls – Best Places to Stay in Livingstone
Victoria Falls – located between the countries of Zambia and Zimbabwe in Africa – is the world’s largest sheet of falling water. It is nearly twice the height of Niagara Falls in North America. In height and width it is rivaled only by Iguazu Falls in South America. As you might imagine, this notoriety has […]
Rancho La Puerta – Savor Mexico Near San Diego
Rancho La Puerta, the famous spa retreat in Tecate, Mexico, is a great option for visitors to San Diego who want a taste of Mexican culture. The resort is an hour east of San Diego and just 3.3 miles south of the border. Normally reservations are only accepted for one-week stays, but savvy San Diegans […]
Machu Picchu – How to Avoid the Crowd
Machu Picchu has been on my bucket list for a long time but, as I said in a post on this site four years ago, I have an usually low tolerance for being herded around like a tourist. “But a visit to Machu Picchu doesn’t have to be like that,” travel expert Nina Fogelman assured […]
Lanai Hawaii – Why You Should Go Now
Lanai is the only accessible Hawaiian Island that I haven’t experienced. I’ve stared at it across the water from our Maui vacation rental, but just never felt motivated to plan a visit – mainly because I didn’t know much about it. That all changed when I received this Lanai guest post from Elaine Masters. Read […]

Alaska hiking trails stretch out across the state. These offer authentic travelers what they came for: gorgeous scenery and a chance to experience nature unrefined. Anchorage-based photographer Victoria Lynn Pennick generously contributed her images and insider comments for this guest post.

Larry’s Meaning of Life Travel Experience
My friend Larry Kessler contributed this guest post. The meaning of life. No small task. Thank God for Google ’cause we’re running out of real estate to house the volumes of texts that cover this subject. But hey, since I just had a life changing, meaning of life travel experience, I’d like to offer my […]
Scuba Diving Lembeh Strait, Indonesia

How To Find Authentic Venice
This guest post was contributed by Claudia Coppola who lives in Verona, Italy. “This was Venice, the flattering and suspect beauty—this city, half fairy tale and half tourist trap, in whose insalubrious air the arts once rankly and voluptuously blossomed, where composers have been inspired to lulling tones of somniferous eroticism.” Thomas Mann (1875–1955), […]
South Africa Safari Trip Report
This South Africa safari trip report was contributed by Oliver Ainsworth, who lives in England. I had always wanted to visit South Africa, not only to imbibe its incredible culture, but to experience the thrill of seeing the country’s wildlife up-close and personal. I was therefore instantly drawn towards Kruger National Park. Located in the […]

Alaska Dog Sledding
When we planned our trip to Alaska, I was told we’d be too early for dog sledding, but there were other factors to consider – such as the wedding we were attending – and I had no choice but to accept that Alaska dog sledding wouldn’t be on our agenda. Or so I thought, until […]
