Plans Change — A Brazilian Christmas and New Year
Having spent my last few Christmases and New Years in Ontario, Canada, I have found snowy grounds, homes decorated in an assortment of lights, and Christmas music playing unabashedly in every store and café gives me some much-needed Christmas spirit as each year comes to a close.

Disarming El Cabron
Friends told me when you adventure to Baja, you want to drive a crappy old car and let your hair grow out. Also, avoid shaving and grow a beard and downplay anything of value. The landscape doesn’t appear as I imagine. I envision a greener landscape with point breaks around every corner. This is desolate desert, dusty and endless. It seems to go on and on to the horizon. Not too different from the landscape in Mad Max with Mel Gibson.

Driving Teton Pass
In 1997, my daughter and I drove to Jackson, Wyoming, so she could check out an environmental college. It was June, and that summer had extreme flooding all over the western states. There wasn't GPS or mobile phones (or phone photos!). I took a paper map and plotted our route with a highlighter before we left home.

Exploring the Majesty of Mount Annapurna: Nepal's Enigmatic Giant
Exploring the Majesty of Mount Annapurna: Nepal's Enigmatic Giant Settled in the core of Nepal, the Annapurna massif remains a demonstration of the crude magnificence and imposing test that the Himalayas present to explorers from around the globe. With its most noteworthy pinnacle, Annapurna I, taking off to an elevation of 8,091 meters (26,545 feet), it ranks as the 10th most noteworthy mountain on the planet. In any case, what separates Annapurna isn't simply its level; it's also its celebrated history, amazing scenes, and the significant regard it commands among mountain climbers.

Losing My Phone in Mumbai
The best part of my 10 days in Mumbai earlier this year, hands down, was losing my trusty Samsung A20. Quite how I did it I don't know and never will; it is entirely likely that I carelessly dropped it in an auto, but I have a friend who is adamant it must have been pickpocketed. Either way, you can imagine the lurching horror of the first hour or so after I realised, turned my bag inside out and watched my life flash in front of my eyes, so I won't go into it, because what happened next was some of the best fun I have ever had in my life.

Pushing the Bus In Kenyan Highlands
Africa holds my heart, and I cannot get enough of it. I was planning another trip for 2017, and friends wanted to come. Our third time in East Africa would be their first safari and voyage there. I selected a tour in Kenya that included two rescue places in Nairobi for October of that year.

A crazy rant about a different kind of trip.
What's my best trip? Is it what I'm supposed to believe the best trip is? What they’ve told me the best trip is. An afternoon at the lake, a road trip across America with the family stuffed in the car, a journey to discover myself. Backpacking across Europe, polaroid pictures of smiling faces. Because that's what we're supposed to believe the best trips are, right? But, what if I told you that was wrong? That, that was all wrong. Because those are nice, but those are not the best trips; those are vacations.

Weasel Reef
Taylor and Johnny-Boy gaze out at the glass and sip on hot coffee as beautiful barrels roll across the reef. The two surfers in the line-up surge up, down, and over the swells that draw waves from the deep Pacific to the triangular reef naturally formed under their boards. They wax up their boards in anticipation of capturing a few of mother ocean's jade gems of joy, delivering to the coast's sneakiest of all reefs, where finicky shelves of shacks are meant to house the chosen few that can ride this place. This is where unicorns are caught, treasure is discovered, and waves are ridden.
