One part opportunity, one part spontaneity, whip vigorously
A trip to Copenhagen sounded like the perfect weekend trip. AND what could make a weekend trip to Copenhagen better, dinner at the infamous Noma. What I quickly learned when searching to try to get a reservation, is that it is not that easy to get one, and planning a June trip in February was…
We are finally here, the one year marker we, or at least I, never thought would come. I do realize I missed the true anniversary and it was last week. Yes, I am still working on self motivation, that was also an issue in my last post…shall we move on? The day the world halted…
Reims, France was home to 4th stage of the Tour de France. EF bought a bike team a few years ago and now for Tour de France you can be picked to join and be a VIP spectator at each stage–very cool work perk! A good friend/coworker was picked to attend so I thought, I’ll…
I was headed to Vietnam for work so I decided to make two stops before to Cambodia and Laos. This post is about my visit to Siem Reap. These two stops were heavily influenced by my sister and brother-in-law who had just done a three-week South-East Asia trip about six months before my trip planning….
There is a reason why I have not posted in a few months, and I am going to say it is a pretty good one…I moved to Zurich! A new position opened up at my same company (EF) based in Zurich and was presented to me. At that moment, I was ready for a new…

If you go to Tel Aviv you have to go to Jerusalem. I was advised due to how historical Jerusalem is to go with a tour and guide; easiest to navigate the city and learn a lot of information. I booked a half day tour with Tourist Israel and was very happy with it! The…
A visit to the dead sea was a must for us while in Israel. We were fascinated by visiting the lowest elevation on land. My friend Ali and I rented a car so we could get around to a few sites we wanted to see on our own time so we drove straight from…
The city of Tel Aviv was amazing. It was fresh and inviting and as I left the city after a few days I thought to myself, I could live here. Tel Aviv is young, being found in 1909, and is Israel’s second largest city after Jerusalem. The beaches are white and crisp and the city…
Colombia was amazing! It was the perfect warm destination to visit in the winter months to escape the cold. It was also very cheap to get to from Denver flying Spirit. The red eye to FLL is tough but still can you really beat $300 roundtrip? We started our Colombia vacation in Cartagena. The city…
