How to Work with Tourism Boards

First of all, my apologies to any readers who really don’t care to read about how I manage to work with tourism boards and companies while I travel. If you’re more interested in pretty travel photos and stories, go check out today’s Photo of the Day or my new Getting Started page for posts to read that might be more up your alley.  :) Despite the fact that I realize not everyone will be interested in this subject, I still feel like it’s a topic worth …Read more…

The South Pacific I Have Yet to See

Not counting my home country of the U.S., the area of the world I’ve spent the most time in is definitely the South Pacific — or, more specifically, New Zealand. All told over the past 7 years, I’ve spent about 6 months total in New Zealand (with a week or so also in Australia). That’s a fairly sizable chunk of time the have spent in one area. But, the truth is, there’s still SO much of the South Pacific left to see! Even though New …Read more…

Rotorua: Smelly, But Awesome

When you ask people the one word that comes to mind when they think of Rotorua, New Zealand, chances are that word will be “smelly” or “stinky.” Because, yes, Rotorua is an assault on the senses — most notably the sense of smell. This olfactory assault is due to the high level of geothermal activity present in this North Island city — activity that has been drawing thousands of tourists each year since the 1800s. And 200+ years worth of tourists can’t possibly be wrong! …Read more…

 
Traveling With an iPad as My Computer

A few months ago, I was on the hunt for a netbook computer to travel with — one of those tiny little things that I could hide away in a purse or backpack with ease. Even though I love my 15-inch Macbook Pro to death, it’s just not very practical to take with me everywhere I go. It’s large, heavy (over 6 pounds), and expensive — I spend half my time cursing its weight, and the other half worrying about something happening to it whenever …Read more…

 
There's More to Ottawa in Winter Than Just Frigid Weather

When people begin planning winter vacations that don’t involve skiing, Canada probably isn’t likely to be at the top of their lists. Unless they want to hit the mountains for some fresh powder, most people gravitate toward warm destinations during the chilly, grey winter months. I know I usually do. But this year I decided to try something a little different. Instead of using my winter vacation to head south for the tropics, I went north — to Ottawa. I’ll admit that Canada’s capital city …Read more…

Photo Essay: Queenstown to Christchurch

I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again: New Zealand’s South Island is stunning. STUNNING. From beaches to glaciers to rainforests to snowy mountains, this island really does have it all. There are many great drives you can do on the South Island, from the drive between Queenstown and Milford Sound, to the Southern Scenic Route from Dunedin to Invercargill. But another of my favorites (scenery-wise) is the drive up the middle of the island — from Queenstown to Christchurch. I’ve done this 8-hour …Read more…
