Summer Reading List
The summer is upon us at least on the east coast of north America and with that comes time to sit by the pool or the on the beach and read. Yup, read. I’m not one for cooking myself in the sun’s rays without a purpose. I get fidgety real fast. So, I read. I […]
Traveling Healthy
When you go on a trip to a new an exotic place you’ll spend some time picking out that unique keepsake to take home with you: a bracelet, a t-shirt, a shot glass, a artisan-crafted wood bowl. All fine choices, but what you don’t want to bring home is measles, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) or polio. […]

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 […]
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. Exhausted, you hope against hope it will show up. You wait an extra few minutes, watch the carousel come to a […]
The Cost of Our African Safari
We knew our safari in Tanzania would be a trip of a lifetime, and it was. We also knew it would cost us a lot more than our typical getaway, and it did. Was it worth it? Hell yeah. Would we do it again? In a heartbeat. That said, we thought others who share our […]
Flowers that Transplant Me
When ever I see the long, spidery tendrils of bougainvillea they transplant me to the sun-drenched islands of summertime Greece. The thorny, wood-like vines with their green leaves and purple, red, or white flowers hanging from the roof tops and balconies of whitewashed homes along narrow village streets is one of the images of Greece […]
Get Lost (with Arthur Frommer)
Working in news, I’ve meet a lot of famous people. I’m seldom star struck (with the exception of meeting George Clooney) but a back in March I had a moment to meet and talk with one of my heroes, Arthur Frommer of Frommers Travel Guides. Frommer is the man who, during his time in the […]
Tented Truth
When you go on safari the second question people ask (after “what animals did you see?”) is “where did you stay?” When you reply that your trip was a tented safari you watch their eyes get wide and prepare for the third question, “like, on the ground?” I have to say it’s at this point […]

We often talk about making an authentic connection with the places you travel here on No Kids, Will Travel, and a few weeks ago I met with Addison Demaree, travel manager for The Village Experience. Her company, based out of Chicago, is dedicated to its own down and dirty brand of cultural tourism. The Village […]
