Call of the Wild: Sitka, Alaska
I was 10 years old when I read Jack London’s, Call of the Wild . With the turning of each page, I was transported from my childhood home on our farm in Southern, Louisiana to the frozen and untamed Yukon, an arctic territory of year-round white capped mountains and snowmelt lakes. I knew I would explore such a place one day. Fast forward over 25 years later and I’m on an uncomfortably bumpy flight and God willing will soon be landing at one of the world’s most perilous airp

24 Hours in Edinburgh
Although having more time is always preferable for exploring new places, I’ve had some extraordinary chances to deviate from my planned route and immerse myself in a few captivating destinations, even if just for a day. One such destination that captured my heart was Edinburgh, Scotland. I recently found myself with an unexpected extra day before my work commitments commenced in London so I seized the chance to embark on a quick yet delightful trip North to this captivating c
A Delightful Discovery in Southern England: Jane Austen, Roman Baths and Georgian Elegance
Hot air balloons over Bath's Royal Crescent, Bath, England Those who know southern England will not be surprised with my instant infatuation with Bath.

Slowing Down on Bavaria's Romantic Road
This wasn't my first experience traveling along Germany's Romantic Road. Over the years, I've managed to add a day or two to the start or end of work trips in Munich to explore the countryside. This picturesque route, which extends from Füssen along the foothills of the Alps in the south to Würzburg in the northern part of Bavaria, is one in that I've long wished to explore at a slower pace. A recent journey to England to celebrate a dear friends birthday, provided an opportu
Solo Adventure
Solo in London - A Perfectly Unplanned Day
Apple Market, Covent Garden, London Throughout my years of solo travel, I've discovered it to be an incredibly freeing and empowering experience. When you're not tied down by trying to sync up plans or preferences with anyone else, a solo adventure is the perfect chance to do something I absolutely love...just wandering around. I recently found myself in London with an entire day and night to do just that. While London is not a new destination for me, I'm always surprised b
Table for One
I remember the early days of dining solo. I carried a notepad and sat alone with a glass of wine. I journaled but must have appeared to be writing something very important because I was twice mistaken for a food critic. I guess the journaling just gave me something to do while I sat solo in a restaurant- something that used to feel uncomfortable. Between work trips and last minute getaways, where coordinating schedules with a companion just wasn't possible, I've dined solo
Solo in Iceland: Heartbreak, Hard Work, and a Honeymoon Suite
2016 marked a turning point in my life. The end of a seven-year relationship left an echoing void. The faces of a man and his children, once daily constants, became fleeting memories. Amidst this emotional turmoil, a question haunted me: Who was I without them? Seeking refuge, I drowned myself in work, with sleep being my only true respite. But soon, the allure of Iceland presented a unique escape. On this brief Icelandic detour, taken before a work event in Europe, the lands

Alaska's Iditarod: The Last Great Race
2025 marks the 53rd year of the Iditarod - the last great race on earth. Dog sledding holds a significant place in Alaskan history. During the harsh winter months, sled teams were essential for transporting supplies and communication to remote settlements, and mushing races were a popular recreational activity.
