The illumination of the Niagara Falls at night creates a unique view of the natural wonder. I don’t know of any other falls with such easy access to such a beautiful nighttime show, and it’s free. So, after the Niagara Falls sunset, walk down to river’s edge and view the waterfall after (daylight) hours. I […]
Adventure Awaits at the Niagara Falls
by Craig Zabransky on November 5, 2013 in Destination
Suddenly soaked, I stared out to see a rainbow arc across the mist of the thunderous falls. I captured the moment with multiple senses; sight, sound, feeling, smell, and perhaps even a taste of the water. I was standing right next to the Niagara Falls and I felt alive. It was awesome. This moment is […]
Exploring and Enjoying Juarez, Mexico in 5 Photos
by Craig Zabransky on October 22, 2013 in Adventure Mindset, Destination, Mexico Travel, Photo
Just before flying to El Paso, Texas I was told – we’d spend a night in Juarez too. Where? ….. Donde? Ciudad Juarez. Yes, that Juarez; the Juarez from the news. I joked about the fact it was clearly staying adventurous with the trip organizers, but admittedly, I wondered if it was also staying safe. […]
How to Find a Low-Cost Cruise
by stayadventurous on September 26, 2013 in Destination, Guest Post
A cruise can represent great value for money. Just think about it – on a standard week-long cruise you could stop at four or five different destinations, maybe even more, and have time to explore each of them under your own steam or as part of organised tours. Back on board, you’ll have the use […]
the 5-Photos of Buffalo, New York
by Craig Zabransky on August 8, 2013 in Destination, Photo
Buffalo, New York surprised. It did. I didn’t expect to see a city with so much historical treasure, especially with its architecture nor did I expect to see a city in the midst of a major resurgence. Yes, Buffalo surprised me during few days first as a volunteer for the New York Special Olympics and […]
A Volunteer’s View from the New York Special Olympics Summer Games held in Buffalo, NY
by Craig Zabransky on August 6, 2013 in Adventure Mindset, Destination
The New York Special Olympics games are the sixth-largest Special Olympics gathering in the world. I’ve been a supporter for many years, but this year I just couldn’t write the check and call that the extent of my donation. No, I decided to volunteer. I took the pilgrimage from the hustling, bustling city of […]
Jamaica: The Beat of the Caribbean
by stayadventurous on July 26, 2013 in Destination, Guest Post
There’s no doubt that Jamaica stands apart from other Caribbean vacation spots. A strong African heritage remains today, in the cuisine, native identity and perhaps most strikingly, in the music. There are still the soaring peaks, jungle wetlands and idyllic beach resorts to make holidays here more than worthwhile. But the heart of Jamaica retains […]
The Leisurely Pace of Village Life in Cyprus
by stayadventurous on June 27, 2013 in Destination, Guest Post
With some of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean and an average of 340 sunny days per year in which to enjoy them, it’s not hard see why the tiny island of Cyprus attracts 2.4 million visitors each year. However, there is another side to the island and if you have landed on this […]
