This trip went way better than any of my previous. There was only one thing I brought with me that I didn’t use – a Hawaiian print shirt that I just didn’t really want to wear outside of Hawaii – so I just carried it around the world. Other than that, everything I brought got…
There has been so much that I’ve learned on this trip around the world – I simply can’t get into it yet (later posts I will) – but coming back to America feels (and is) like the beginning of the end of this trip. I’m happy that the last stop is New York City in…
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…

Dubai is so very brown grey during the day when you are outside, but inside and at night it is all neon and flash. It’s a lot like Vegas, really. I’m glad I didn’t book a longer stay – I think this is probably a great place to come with friends or family and a…
This was yet another highlight of my time in Sri Lanka. On the one hand, I’m happy that I got to see the Madu River without it being crowded with hordes of other tourists, but on the other hand – I confess to rightfully feeling some guilt to being a tourist while Sri Lanka melts…
How Am I Paying for All of This? I’m living large. I’ve never lived this luxuriously in my entire life. I’m also sharing my adventures and people who know me, know that I’ve never been wealthy – certainly not wealthy enough to be sitting in first class lounges, staying in luxury resorts, taking safaris, and…
