I was fortunate enough to have been hosted by the wonderful people at the Jordan Tourism Board for a guided tour of this wonderful country just a couple weeks ago and one of the big highlights was Jerash. I’ll be doing a series of posts about the things I got […]
I think I am correct in saying this… Jodi’s was the first travel blog I ever read. Early on in my RTW trip, I did some sort of google search trying to find my blog (at the time, it was The Mobile Lawyer) and ran into her blog, Legal Nomads. Lucky […]
I loved walking around the old city in Damascus. I’ll certainly be doing a series of photo essays about it in the near future, mainly focusing on the huge, huge souk (market) there. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCcWr7IWn_U The souk seems to go on forever.

Before I headed to the Middle East, I tweeted that I was going during a few of the travel talk conversations I have there during the week. In typical Twitter-blogger fashion, someone replied immediately with an unsolicited offer of assistance. I’ve never met Charles Yap, otherwise known as @HotelPRGuy, but […]
Kirsty and Poi are a couple that I admire quite a lot. Well, frankly I envy them even more than that. They are traveling the world in their early 20s and doing it as a couple, with a great sense of humor as a bonus. I wish I’d taken their path […]

First, an update on the recent weeks. I got to Lebanon about a month ago and spent two great weeks there. Then a quick week in Syria and now I am a wonderful week-long guided tour of Jordan, sponsored by the Jordan Tourism Board. The problem? Hardly any time to write.
I love being able to time these interviews occasionally with the interesting things that the interviewees are doing in the travel world. This particular timing is… knocked out of the park. Today, Erica and Shaun are supposed to arrive in Mexico — their first stop on their long-awaited RTW trip. […]
He and his wife are doing the Mongol Rally this summer with Sherry Ott of Ottsworld and Dave and Deb of thePlanetD, they have created the very popular #NUTS chat on Twitter every Tuesday afternoon, they blog, they do videos… pretty much I just want 25% of his energy and drive and I will start my plan to conquer the world.
Part One of my attempt to troll through my spam box for some funny and ill-timed comments seemed to be met with some modicum of approval and there was a recent discussion on the Travel Bloggers Group on Facebook where some folks asked for more, so here goes Part Two […]
