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…
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…
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…
