WELCOME

This blog is about the adventure of traveling and especially the interesting people that you meet. We will share stories about people and places we have encountered from around the United States, Ireland, Scotland, England, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Canada, Spain, Mexico, The Vatican, The Netherlands, Belgium, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Liechtenstein, Portugal, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and more. This is not a travelogue -- we leave that to Rick Steves -- this is a collection of fragments in the journey of life.

A MATTER OF STYLE

It is a matter of style. We believe that often the more people who visit a place the less it holds for us. Why go to Kenya to see American tourists? Why go to Austria to have dinner with two ladies from Iowa?

So, while we usually try to visit the important sites like the Tower of London, we also hit the small places like the home of Charles Dickens.

If the place is a manufactured destination or one mainly based on marketing, we skip it so we have time to invest in lower profile places. Rather than a stop at Blarney Castle to kiss the stone we will go to an out of the way charity shop. Rather than going on the London Eye we will spend on hour watching a game of darts at a small pub.
