For those who don’t know – Bitcoin Pizza Day is celebrated around the world. It’s the day the first commercial transaction was made with Bitcoin – a day in which Laszlo paid 10,000 BTC for two large pizzas. Those 10,000 BTC have been worth as much as $750 million dollars at one point. But it…
The trip was far too short but the fact of the matter is, it was longer and further than most people will ever travel. I circumnavigated the globe in 42 days – leaving Hawaii for Australia, then Bali in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Dubai, Morocco, France, Iceland, New York City and now back to…
It’s been a minute since I flew anywhere. I took a few small trips in 2020 & 2021 to the SF Bay Area and the Big Island of Hawaii but for the most part since I returned home from Australia in March of 2020 – I’ve been staying on Oahu. I’m not complaining. I love…

When you think of the classic American lunch, probably the first things which comes to mind are hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, fries, and a soft drink. It’s pretty hard to make those into something different, right? Wrong! The world is full of innovative styles and flavors. You’d be silly to think that even the most…
There’s really no place like Kamuela and Waimea on the Big Island of Hawaii. Once home to the largest cattle ranch in the USA and still the fifth largest – this town is famous for rodeos, tropical fruit, and horseback riding. Sadly, because we were traveling in a time of travel lockdown amidst the Covid-19…
One of the things I had been most looking forward to in Turkey was taking a boat up the Bosporus Strait to the Black Sea. There is something about both those names which strikes those chords in me that still believe in magic and set out to see the world expecting to find the adventures of Marco Polo, Jim Bridger, Sir Richard Francis Burton, Ibn Buttata, and other great explorers. I know…the world is a very different place than it was during the times of those heavyweight explorers but still, the chance to see new places that I’ve spent my life reading about and imagining is really why I travel.
No trip up (or down) the Oregon Coast is complete without a stop in Tillamook, Oregon. While we haven’t had the opportunity to do all the fun things Tillamook (the town) offers, we stop every time at the Tillamook Cheese Factory – the tour through is fascinating – even if you know how cheese is…
Stop stockpiling foreign candy that gets you in trouble with customs every time you try to come back from London. And please…let’s say goodbye to big box supermarkets that sell tomatoes that look gorgeous and taste like candle wax.
Teenage wine memories, Lucretia Borgia and learning to make pasta from a top agritourism Chef in Bologna – life is beautiful!
