Where to Stay in Sossusvlei Namibia? – Sossusvlei Lodge

by on December 7, 2011 in Stay Luxurious, Where to Stay?

Namibia is big and spacious. Vast. The landscape stretches for miles (kilometers) often with nothing but nature. Visitors discover there are not too many stops between Windhoek, the capital city, and Sossusvlei besides a stop in Solitaire. Yet visitors also discover the journey is well worth it. And even more so if you stay at […]

Sunset Sunday – Sunset at Houston Airport (IAH)

by on December 4, 2011 in Sunset Sunday

Returning from Mazatlan, Mexico I connected through Houston. The stop reminded me to put the John Huston directed Under the Volcano on my Netflix list. I did The film Takes place in 1938 Cuernavaca on the Day of the Dead, a holiday I had just observed in Mexico. But the main character’s day was a bit […]

On each and every new trip to a city, certain adventures always rise to the top of my to-do list.

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 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 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.

Travel Contest – Win Two Nights at the Courtyard by Marriott

by 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.
