Except for the two years I lived in South America, this new trip is the biggest, most complex excursion of my life. I’ll be circumnavigating the globe, crossing through four of the seven continents, more than a dozen airports, and many cultures. Years ago, I was an endurance athlete and remember the painstaking care required…
Luckily, I headed south just in time to avoid the frigid temps of the Northeast this week! I always forget just how nurturing and relaxing the sun and heat are until I’m in it then aaaaah… What better way to enjoy that warmth and sunshine than on the water? For a special daddy-daughter day, we…
100% “Damn I’m glad I spent my time doing that!” I never regret time spent traveling. Here are some snippets of my last year. Have you been to any of them? If so, would you return? How do you want to spend the next 365 days? Tell us in the Comments. I’m looking for some…

We have stunning photos of majestic beasts, graceful birds, gorgeous sunsets, exotic plants. We see less of the “unpleasant side” of the circle of life, the back of the tapestry,…
Not long ago I ran a boarding home which, by design, became a magnet for cultural diversity, attracting tenants from around the world. My kitchen became a hub of story-sharing, culinary aromas and delights (often shared with whomever was present), questions, answers, cultural faux pas and learnings, and plenty of laughter. We had a lot…
Honestly, I live in a cold climate but don’t like the cold; I stay to be near family. And it’s a pretty good place to live even when it’s cold. This winter is bringing about two considerations: 1) My body must have been a bear in a prior life because it thinks it wants to…
Tonight I (and 60 others) headed to my favorite apple orchard, Randall’s, in Standish, Maine for a full moon hike, sponsored by our local @PresumpscotRegionalLandTrust and guided by two amazing naturalists.
