On each and every new trip to a city, certain adventures always rise to the top of my to-do list. One is a walk and after I strolled the streets of Oaxaca on Sunday, I decided to make sure I performed another “must” the following morning. I headed straight to the main market, Mercado Benito Juarez, […]

Sunset Sunday – Sunset with San Pascual Bailón, the Chef’s Saint, Puerto Vallarta
by Craig Zabransky on November 27, 2011 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday
The International Gourmet Food Festival just concluded in Puerto Vallarta. Last year I attended the multi (chef) star studded event and tasted specialities not just from the chefs who call Puerto Vallarta home, but from others who visit and take over kitchens and menus at some of the region’s best restaurants. It’s widely discussed and […]

Sunset Sunday – Sunset in Windhoek, Namibia
by Craig Zabransky on November 20, 2011 in Sunset Sunday
I landed in Windhoek, Namibia, but my luggage didn’t. I’d travel to the city without it and trust it would be on the next flight. Thankfully, a few daily flights exist to the capital of Namibia from South Africa, but the airport was far from busy on the day I arrived. On the long bus […]
A Hike on the Red Sand Dunes of Sossusvlei
by Craig Zabransky on November 17, 2011 in Adventure Mindset
After the drinks arrived we started discussing Namibia with our server. She shared her experiences and told us a key point, make sure you run down the sand dunes. Miles away both physically and mentally we sipped cocktails at the Grand in Camps Bay, Cape Town. In just a few days we’d put on hiking […]
Travel Contest – Win Two Nights at the Courtyard by Marriott
by Craig Zabransky on November 15, 2011 in Travel Contest
I started to sign-off my emails with “stay adventurous” when I was working as global management consultant. I had selected that profession because it afforded me the opportunity to travel and work in the world’s most dynamic cities. With those adventures, I spent many, many nights in hotels. After ten years I knew hotel brands, developed […]
Sunset Sunday – The Sunset Adventure at Sossusvlei Lodge in Namibia
by Craig Zabransky on November 13, 2011 in Sunset Sunday
After the day spent hiking the insanely incredible red sand dunes of Sossusvlei, I returned to the lodge. Next up – a special sunset adventure. The Sossusvlei Lodge offered an afternoon adventure tour designed to catch a glimpse of the setting sun. I signed up. And after the prior day’s Namibian sunset in Sossusvlei, I was […]
The Cholla Cactus Garden of Joshua Tree National Park
by Craig Zabransky on November 10, 2011 in Adventure Mindset, Destination, National Park Travel
The desert clears your mind and calms your soul. A hike through the trails of the beautiful, and barren, provide the perfect cure for a clouded mind. On such a hike through Joshua Tree National Park I discovered more than the tree, but also a cactus cure. I woke up early, very early. I started […]
