My 10 Favorite Cuisines in the World

Chilis feature prominently in the best cuisines in the world

Any list of the best things in the world is going to be inherently subjective, whether that’s beaches, cities, museums, or more. But after traveling nearly nonstop from well over a decade, I’ve seen a lot and tasted even more! But perhaps what makes my list of the best cuisine in the world more interesting …

My 10 Favorite Nature Sites

This the fifth installment in a series for my 4th Travelversay Celebration. In many ways, this list was easier than creating a list of historic places. Natural sites and national parks tend to be much larger and you have to get out of the city to experience them. Most of the sites on this list …

My 10 Favorite Historical Sites

This the fourth installment in a series for my 4th Travelversay Celebration. This was an extremely difficult list to compile. How do you evaluate how historic something is?

You are also probably aware that in the end (thankfully) not much happened outside of Japan. Nonetheless, it was an extremely hectic night and I learned several …

Lanai Update

I haven’t updated much in the last week because I’ve been on the island of Lanai in Hawaii. It is another one of these periods where the traveling has overtaken the blogging. I’ve been switching hotels every two nights, been dealing with business stuff and of course just doing my usual traveling and taking photos …
