So planning for a European jaunt this summer I did a little research and found some decent discount airfare sites. It had been a while since I really searched for some new ones. While there are a few discount international deals, there’s nothing like RyanAir or EasyJet in Europe. Orbitz, Travelocity and Expedia suck, [...]

Traveling through Greece years ago, I met a Swede who spent his summers partying on the Greek Isles…funded by his government’s unemployment program. What was his disability, you wonder? Like every young and able bodied man, it was simply not wanting to work. So he snookered the system and collected his dough, came to Greece [...]

While I am back and allegedly “functioning” as per normal, doing all the day to day things (way, way too many things), this trip has massively stimulated the ancient appetites within me for long-term non-agenda traveling, mostly for the undeniably important serendipity achieved in such loose adventures, the consistent and worthy diversion, and certainly [...]

Back blogging here…
Final day in Santo Domingo (09/30) and after going out to the Bateyes to visit The Batey Relief Alliance’s Medical center, I got back to the Zona Colonial and wandered up to San Miguel fiesta where a block party was indeed well under way. Slice of life action here and exactly the [...]

So last Tuesday, after recovering from the bike ride (solid 11 hour sleep) I was ready to resume my destiny with kitesurfing lessons, only it wasn´t very windy in the morning. At noon I met with Natalie and she thought it wasn´t such a great day and we should wait to see if the wind [...]

Cabarete is a two-wheeled motoconch rice burner of a beach town complete with large expat population, intermittent blackouts, and every adventure excursion imaginable. You want to be on the beach to avoid the noxious engine fumes of carretera 5.
Took a walk along the beach after arriving hoping for a precious me moment of surfy-starry silence, [...]

Shout outs to the British dude that convinced me to take the gua-gua (and explained how easy it was since everything is on carretera 5) instead of the taxi from Puerta Plata, and the sweet little Senora that told me when to get off. I don’t think anyone else would have. For the uninitiated, the [...]

The Zona Colonial tour started out at Parque Colon, where the somewhat “official” hordes of dudes with lamenated “badges” befriend you and then farm you off to who might be the most appropriate underling for the tour. I got Rodolpho, a 40 something dude in a tucked tie-dye, and the choice somewhat dismayed me, since [...]

Leaving for the Dominican Republic tomorrow to visit and do photography for The Batey Relief Alliance, and then mountain bike, and lie on a beach somewhere with a coconut, before doing some hurricane wrangling. Yeah, it’s the latest X-treme Adventure sport. Be back in a couple of weeks. The DR is close to [...]
