Christmas Traditions Around the World
The idea of trimming a tree isn’t universal, even in countries with large Christian populations. Greece is 95% Greek Orthodox and you will seldom see a tree, except in a store window. The main symbol of the season is a wooden cross with basil wrapped around it, kept fresh using a bowl of holy water. […]
Oh My Holy Lands
You know we don’t use the term bucket list around here at No Kids, Will Travel. We live with the philosophy that you don’t wait, you just go. Even so, we understand waiting is probably a good idea sometimes. For years I have wanted to visit the Holy Land. I am (for the most part) […]

A Change in Perspective
The other day my job as a photojournalist took me to the National Zoo. I always look forward to the days when the hum-drum stories of fire and death are interrupted by a morning spent doing anything else. We were there for the introduction of two new tiger cubs, so the cute factor was very […]

A couple of weeks ago we reviewed the first half of our 11-hour excursion in the Playa del Carmen area with Local Quickies. We’ll pick up here after our visit to Tulum and our swim in a cenote. Swimming with Sea Turtles Next up on our tour was a snorkeling trip to see sea turtles. […]
Little Luggage Lost
When you travel a lot it’s bound to happen: that moment when you stand there staring at the baggage carousel after a long flight and realize your bag isn’t next to slide down the chute.
