Both my trips to India were unique and unforgettable. The first of these wonderful experiences was when my friend and I decided to go to the Osho Center in Pune for a 10 day meditation. This spiritual experience left a deep impression on me and I knew I had to return to India again. Before […]
Asia
Exotic is often used when describing Asia. An amazingly diverse continent, a land of mystery, legend, and a place where you can experience culture at its most magnificent.
The Big Five Animals of Asia
I’m going to let you in on a little secret. I have this friendly rivalry with my friends over on Team Goway Africa. It feels like all they can do is talk about their Big Five. Animals, animals, animals…they tout that USP to just about everyone who will pull up a chair and listen. I […]
The Globetrotting Diaries: Memories of Lhasa
Lhasa is known as the “the roof of the world” for good reason. It’s almost 3,700m above sea level. I had followed the advice on how to acclimatize to the altitude (this wasn’t my first rodeo), but after flying in from Beijing and resting at the hotel, my husband and I were excited and eager […]
The Globetrotting Diaries: Trying on Hanbok in South Korea
Travel is the greatest passion I have in life and likely always will be. I am a true globetrotter and definitely more of a traveller than a tourist. I don’t collect keychains or postcards when I travel; I collect moments and memories. In May 2018, I was sent to South Korea on a FAM trip […]
The Globetrotting Diaries: Building a Lodge in Northern Laos
Back in 2004, I was assigned to build a resort in Northern Laos on the banks of the Mekong River. This eco-lodge with safari tents, thatched roof, and an individual solar panel to produce electricity in each room was the first of its kind in Laos. I had to live in a split bamboo house […]
The Globetrotting Diaries: A Memorable Journey Through the Land of Smiles
I travelled to Thailand in May of 2019, heading to the vibrant city of Bangkok, the entertainment town of Pattaya, Chiang Mai, which is known as the Rose of the North and home to the highest mountain in Thailand, Chiang Rai, which is rich in historical and cultural sites, and the beautiful island of Phuket. […]
The Globetrotting Diaries: An Ethical Encounter with Elephants
I have always wanted to have an elephant encounter at some point in my life. However, it needed to be 100% ethical in every aspect. My trip to Thailand allowed this to be possible at ElephantsWorld, based in Kanchanaburi Province. We took part in foraging and making their daily meals. The elephants here roam free, […]
The Globetrotting Diaries: Celebrating Graduation in Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia
In June 2016 I met up with my son in Chiang Rai, Northern Thailand for a three-week trip that would take us through Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. Aidan had just completed a month of volunteer work in Laos and was graduating that year. We celebrated his birthday at the Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle […]
The Globetrotting Diaries: Making Friends in Strange Places
Trials and tribulations always make the best stories, provided things all work out in the end. London to Kathmandu was one of the first popular overland journeys and the route has an allure to this day. After years leading trips in Latin America I wanted a new challenge and this was it for me. The […]
The 2021 Olympics Will be Another Chance for Tokyo to Dazzle the World
A lot has changed for Tokyo in the past 56 years. On the eve of the 1964 Summer Olympics, Tokyo was considered something of a backwater. But in the lead up to the Olympics, Japan rebuilt and expanded the city, transforming it into a modern metropolis that was now open to the world. During the […]
