Canadian Giants

Canada. Majestic landscape, hockey, and as any New Yorker knows, (but doesn’t care to admit) the better side of Niagara Falls. And now as Vancouver plays host to the 2010 Winter Olympics, nightly we all learn more. As a frequent traveler to the ‘Great White North’ I can offer advice on Canada, but I wonder […]

Sunset Sunday – The Greek Isle of Paxos

The sunset seduces. Few moments of the day hold such magic. On Valentine’s Day many people will share that magic, that romance, with someone special. One evening, that special sensation hit me harder than my second glass of Ouzo. Here, on the cliffs overlooking the Ionian Sea, I watched the sun descend from the island […]

A Baja Sur Surf Spot

I woke to the cool Baja breeze coupled with the distant sounds of Pacific surf. Poured a fresh cup of java that the amiable staff delivered to my room along with a fresh fruit plate that included my favorite – papaya,  graced my comfortable robe and stepped out on the terrace.  The ocean view refreshed. […]

Sunday Sunset – Puerto Vallarta

This week Sunset Sunday takes us to my days in Mexico. Here I sat on the sands of ‘playa de los muertos,’ south of the river in Puerto Vallarta after a refreshing late afternoon swim. I enjoyed this very view over a bucket of coronitas (7oz Coronas) with the sounds of the local Mariachi band. The […]

Sunset Sunday…it begins in Phuket,Thailand

The Sunset. That word alone makes us smile. We are warmed by a memory; we recall a time, a place, a moment. What is Sunset Sunday? The daily descent delights differently, but is universally positive. The sunset remains one of the most celebrated moments of the day. For me, it surprises, seduces, and slows.  And I […]

Becoming ‘Pura Vida’ en Costa Rica

Click. I hung up the phone with Delta. Thirty-five thousand sky miles, all earned as a management consultant exchanged for a round trip ticket to San Jose, Costa Rica. This time – no assignment; my travel was personal and with purpose. Turning back was no longer an option. The travel sabbatical I talked about for […]

The January Anniversary

Today, I’d like to toast to the year that was and the year that will be. Please join me for a sip of that bubbly. Last Year One year ago this very day, (Jan 5th) my freelance writing career took center stage.  No more moonlighting. I wish I could tell you it happened solely by […]

Hello world, Happy New Year

As part of my New Year’s resolutions for 2010, I decided to start my own blog. So, welcome to “Stay Adventurous.” My travel writing adventures began in 2004 when I starting journaling on a trip to China as a global consultant. Then in 2005 during a near year long travel sabbatical, I published my first […]
