While it’s easy to find cheap flights these days, it’s harder than ever to find comfortable and pain-free flights. But if you love traveling as much as I do, you’ll have to face the fact that flying is an inevitable part of the journey. As a frequent flyer…

A Grand Canyon Adventure: Disaster at Hance

Katie Klingsporn

Looking down on the Colorado River from above Deer Creek Falls; Photograph by Danny Schmidt The moment I caught my first a glance of Hance, I regretted my decision to scout it. What I saw from that rocky promontory under the merciless June sun was less a rapid than a gnashing, boat-eating monster. Boulders lined the mouth of the rapid and littered its left side. Everywhere below was churning, chaotic whitewater. A thick black basalt dike wedged itself into the cliff above, casting a sinister air to the scene. Something about the water seemed to …

Do You Have a Soul Home or are You Called to Travel to Certain Places?

Caz

Is there a certain place in the world that calls you? You’re not sure why but the intense desire or fascination won’t leave you and you just HAVE to book that plane ticket. Maybe there’s a place when the moment you landed just knew you had arrived home. I like to call those places my Soul Homes. I believe you can have more than one, but often one speaks to you louder than all the others. I had a fascinating conversation about this recently on my webinar…

Exploring Bergamo and its Surroundings

Audrey

I took a couple of side trips during my recent visit to Milan and one of those was to Bergamo, a city that sits at the foothills of the Bergamasque Alps and is only a 1 hour train ride away. The charming city – which feels a lot more like a town! – made an immediate impression upon me. Just a few minutes into my walk of the Old Town, I was already fawning over the warm pastel walls, the weathered shutters, and the clay coloured roof tiles. It’s as picturesque an Italian town as you…
