Buddha, perhaps more of a philosopher than a founder of a religion, is ever present in Thailand. The “awakened one’s” way of life still influences the people and culture of South East Asia and everywhere you travel in the “land of the smiles” Buddha seems to be there with you. A statue.

The Wonder of the World at Petra
I first met Bharat, the author, while staying in Princeton, (sounds much better than saying working in Hopewell, NJ). We worked together on a consulting project, and both shared the desire to explore the world. Since those days Bharat has traveled through the much of the Middle East, India, Afghanistan, East Africa and the Sudan […]
Four Ways to Appreciate the Charm of Mayan Ruins at Coba
The heavy rain arrived and a late breakfast was added to the itinerary after our first stop in Punta Laguna. We stopped just a few miles from the Mayan archaeological site of Coba and waited out the storm. After some eggs and tortilla the rain ceased. We piled back into the van and continued to […]
Bungee Jump – Acapulco’s different dive

The dive is not off cliffs, but rather located in the heart of the downtown beach. The dive is a bungee jump. After a cerveza […]

Greenmarket Square in Cape Town
One of the oldest squares in Cape Town, Greenmarket Square can be found just a few blocks off Long Street in the center of the city. On one end of the street, I stayed at the Westin on the other end I found the perfect Royale with Cheese burger. And if you head to Cape Town […]
The Views of Victoria Falls Hotel
I never equated Africa with luxury. I dreamed of rugged safari drives to search for the Big 5, riverboat journeys through Namibia on the Chobe, and loads of adventure. And yes, I found all that, but I also discovered luxury. Much Luxury. From the South African Winelands, the “foodie” and cosmopolitan city Cape Town, to […]
