Tweet I can’t believe it, 2011 is almost over. It’s already been a year since I visited South Africa and since then life has taken me on a whirlwind across the globe from Brazil, Colombia, Mexico & Venezuela to Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Melbourne, Xi’an. And now I’m back where I originally started, as if the circle has been completed, [...]
Tweet The last two months have been a blur of activity and gone by so quickly. I recently moved to Shanghai on a short term engagement and since then my world has changed in every aspect possible.

These factors all contributed to [...]
Tweet The plane has landed. I awake from my stupor after little sleep and I’m drowsed by jet lag that has already settled in my bones. Travel season has started and we just arrived in the Netherlands. Yet even though I feel groggy I’m excited. The Netherlands is one of my favorite destinations for both [...]
Tweet Auckland, New Zealand, tucked away deep down under, 3 hours flight from Sydney, Australia; 15 hours flight from LAX; is one of those places that, due its far proximity from Europe and the Americas, doesn’t make it on the travel destination list of everyone. However, those that have had the chance to visit this [...]
