People travel to be educated, others to be entertained, and some to be enlightened. And regardless of which of the three you gravitate towards, on a trip to Bali, plan to visit Ubud. And plan to see the Balinese Legong dance. Of the dozen forms, the glancing eyes and unique hand movements of ladies who […]
Africa’s Upside Down Tree, the Skyline of a Namibian Village
by Craig Zabransky on August 4, 2010 in Destination
Before we entered the fishing village, our guide spoke to us. Just on the outskirts and before our interaction with the locals we stopped to listen. He explained life in this part of the world, both the promising and the problems. He gave us a set of dos and dont’s when touring the huts made […]
The Thirsty Elephant Herd along the Chobe
by Craig Zabransky on August 3, 2010 in Photo
After witnessing the excitement of a single elephant on the edge of the river taking a drink, the boat headed a bit deeper into Chobe National Park. Then as we drifted, a breeding herd came for a sip. By the end of my African adventure, my ‘elephant in the wild’ counter may have topped 100 across […]

Before the tour took the journey from Sossusvlei to Swakopmund across the desert and barren landscape of Namibia, we stayed at the Sossusvlei Lodge. Just a few kilometers from the entrance to the famous and impressive sand dunes of Sossusvlei the group settled in for the first of two nights. The looming tour of the […]

by stayadventurous on July 30, 2010 in Photo

It simply and softly says, “Africa.” And to get you excited as July ends, I want to explain “All Africa – All August” here at Stay Adventurous. Starting this Sunday, August 1st (or really today) […]
Oysters with a pearl of wisdom in Mazatlan, Mexico
by Craig Zabransky on July 26, 2010 in Culture Thru Cuisine, Destination, Mexico Travel
Oysters. For some, the ultimate delicacy, for others just another mollusk. And whether you believe it’s a myth or a fact that about its aphrodisiac powers upon digestion, I think we all can agree, the fresher the better. And nothing is fresher than pulled directly from ocean after you place that order. That is exactly […]
Sunset Sunday – The Green Flash, Laguna Beach, California
by Craig Zabransky on July 25, 2010 in Sunset Sunday
The Green Flash. Sunset aficionados know about it. Some don’t believe it exists, some quest for it like a crusade for the holy grail, and others, the fortunate few, can claim witness to its majesty. I’ll admit I remained semi-skeptical until that day. The day when walking along beach and watching the sun dip into […]

As a tribute to Neil Armstrong, I wanted to re-feature this post this week. It was inspiring for me to reread, I hope it inspires you too.
