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…
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…
I went to Norway on a FAM in June 2016, so I decided to visit Moscow afterwards since Russia is nearby. In Moscow, my hotel was located five metro stops from the famous Red Square. The hotel gave me directions…

The drive from Puno, Peru to La Paz, Bolivia was always fun. Apart from the stunning views driving along the shore of Lake Titicaca, the border crossing with the black-market money changing in back alleys and the “tumbleweed vibe” of…
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,…
