The Secret Costs of Traveling the World

The Secret Costs of Traveling the World

July 28, 2018

  Many, many people think that they cannot afford to take a trip around the world. They mostly cite lack of money or lack of time. Lack of time can be a tough one, and because many of us still have children that need an education or we have to have a job to support ourselves, this can definitely be a deterrent to long-term travel. However, money should not be an obstacle. If you want ... View Post

My Spirit Place

My Spirit Place

July 25, 2018

  Travelling through so many cities and countries, there were many times when I thought, "Could I live here?"  Usually the answer was yes but with some caveats. Sometimes it would be that I wasn't keen on the current city, but possibly finding somewhere in the country might work, or I that the city was fine to visit but I just wouldn't want to live there. Everyone seems to want the ... View Post

Worst of the Mora RTW Trip

Worst of the Mora RTW Trip

July 20, 2018

The Worst Of With every sunny day comes a little rain. For the most part, weather was not a problem for us during the trip. We enjoyed the rain in Paris. We enjoyed the cold in Scotland at New Years. We tried to stay cool in the heat and humidity of southeast Asia in summertime. But there were some things that were just "the Worst," or more accurately, "at the bottom of the list of places for X ... View Post

July 20, 2018

The Best Of When I asked friends to give me some topics to do for a "Best of" list of our trip, I was surprised by the number of subjects, and the amount of time it took to think about my answers.  I will be making several posts dividing up the subjects because, well, some of them require explanations or descriptions, and it would be way too long to put in one post.  So, I'm starting with the ...

Malaysia – The Hidden Country

Malaysia – The Hidden Country

July 1, 2018

Malaysia was not on my radar until a friend told me she was going there with her family for a vacation. Malaysia? Who goes to Malaysia?!  I remember having to refamiliarize myself with where exactly it was. Just north of Indonesia, partly on a peninsula shared with Thailand and Singapore, and also located partly on the island of Borneo shared with Brunei and Indonesia.     Why ... View Post

The DMZ Tour

The DMZ Tour

June 10, 2018

  What is the DMZ? As the summit between North Korea and the United States is about to take place and many people have heard of the DMZ, I still think it's important to clarify exactly what it is. The Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea is a 4 km wide swath of land that runs for about 250 km roughly east to west across the Korean peninsula. The actual border between ...
