Every day can be the trip of a lifetime.
UPDATED: Link to donate - click here. I don't normally make resolutions for the new year. I usually just make adjustments and changes to my lifestyle on an ongoing basis. Knowing what needs to be done and doing it. But something significant happened on Monday. I opened my mouth and some words came out. I … Continue reading Why I need YOUR help with MY New Year’s Resolution
There are 3 things we love about India. The people, the food and the culture. Today we’ll look at the food. Indian food. I’ve been eating Indian food for over 30 years and I really like it. I’m going to assume you’ve already tried Indian food like samosas, pakoras, dals, naans, and those thick gravy … Continue reading The Food Issue
There’s a lot of interesting stuff that happens in our day to day life in India. I find most of it quite extraordinary because it’s so much different from our daily lives back home. I’ll even go as far as to say it’s like being on another planet. It’s that different. Piecing together some of … Continue reading Another Chance Encounter
I usually don’t have enough material for a blog post until I’ve been on the road for a few days or so. But I could have written this one even before I left the bus station in Concord. Here’s why. I spent a lot of time getting ready for this trip, getting the house prepared, … Continue reading Up, up and away!
We've decided to become snowbirds (seasonal travelers, usually retirees who migrate to areas with warmer climates during the winter months.) Folks who ditch the cold New England winters and head to warmer climates. During the next few weeks we'll drag out the suitcases and try to come up what we think we'll need for a … Continue reading Snowbirding

Life is short, we are all going to die, so why not take a year off and travel the world? This is how I have summed … Continue reading Sorting It All Out
There was a lot of anticipation as to what our re-entry experience would be like after spending the past year travelling to 11 countries and now returning to home in New Hampshire. Friends and family kept bringing up things like "re-entry", "culture shock", "back to reality", etc. I tried to picture what things would be … Continue reading We’re back. (In NH, that is).
Pretty soon our stay in Ecuador is coming to an end. We've been here nearly 2 months and really only explored 2 areas, Quito and Loja. Quito is the sprawling capital sitting at over 9000 feet and Loja is a small city in the south with a laid back vibe. There an abundance of parks … Continue reading Why I need another 2 months in Ecuador
Taking a year off and traveling the world was not on my bucket list. Owning a business that I could step away from time to time to explore or relax was. I've owned 3 businesses over the course of my life and my goal with each of those businesses was to at some point be … Continue reading Zero to 60, fear setting, this in-between time, and what’s next.
We arrived in Quito, the capital of Ecuador, on 8/31/2018. The city of 2.5 million sits at 9350 feet above sea level so you need to give yourself a little time to get used to the elevation. Some visitors experience altitude sickness so it's best to take it easy and notice what's going on with … Continue reading Ecuador
