On our last day in Iceland, we decided to spend more time exploring the streets and museums of Reykjavik. The museums were a little expensive and for the most part, fairly standard fare. At this point in history, I feel like most museums are better visited online without the crowds or the expensive entrance fees….
Iceland is a really cool place. It has a combination of Pacific Northwest indy/grunge vibes and a mellow European feel. I really like Iceland. In doing a little bit of research and knowing that we only had a limited amount of time – I read that the one tour that we should definitely do was…
We arrived in Iceland yesterday and I looked up a few words and phrases, not sure that everyone here would speak English – so far they seem to all speak high level English everywhere we have gone. Some of the phrases in Icelandic though were so colorful. Like this one “Ég borga bara með reiðufé”…
First of all, I enjoyed Disneyland in Paris way more than I thought I would. Sophia, my 10-year-old-daughter, and I went to Knotts Berry Farm and Disney California Adventure (in Southern California) a few months ago. She actually told me that she liked Disneyland Paris better – there are a few things that tipped me towards…
Paris. I’ve been here a few times before. Once I was here by myself before I got married. That was fun. Hostel, no money, lots of wine. Then I was here after I was married and right after my daughter was an infant. My wife wasn’t able to get a visa in time (she wasn’t…

And so today, part two of this journey around the world begins. Part 1 was the solo journey from Hawaii to Australia then Bali, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Dubai, and Morocco – almost exactly on the other side of the globe from Hawaii. Here in Morocco it has been my extreme pleasure to connect with…
Morocco has changed a tremendous amount since I left nine years ago – and so have I. The truth is, during my time in Morocco, I did most of what I wanted to do here with the exception of taking a road trip to the South of Morocco and Mauritania – but that’s not something…
It’s such a strange thing to come back to a place you once lived. At this point in my life, with where I am today versus where I was back in 2009 when I arrived here the first time – there is such a vast chasm of experience and perspective. Not to mention the contrast…
Since February 2nd of 2022 (2/2/22), Dubai’s new Museum of the Future has been welcoming guests to the world of 2071. Construction of what might be the most beautiful building in the world took a little over six years and as to what lays inside – we could quite rightly say that it took fifty…
