From Edgar Allen Poe to Greenland
I just got home from one of the most amazing trips I have ever taken, and I am still trying to take in everything we saw and did. When I think about the distance we covered, the places we visited, and everything that happened along the way, it is hard to believe it all happened in one trip.

Chasing Rainbows
If you’re forced, and how utterly terrible must it be if you’re forced to take only a 24 hour vacation, the only choice is to chase rainbows in Dublin, that lynchpin of the Emerald Isle with some of the cheapest flights from Chicago to Europe. As it’s been sung, you can go around the world, from Antarctica to Katmandu, and find an Irish pub—a place you’ll be welcomed with a kind smile and a cold pint. If you’re lucky, you might even get some fiddle, and if you’re really lucky they’ll be some black pudding (okay that one is personal taste).

Beach Babylon – Heaven on Earth. Runner-Up in Twenty-Four Hours Challenge.
Imagine yourself on the most stunning tropical island resort. Close your eyes and take it all in. Feel the warm sun and soft sand beneath your feet. Hear the gentle waves lapping at the shore. Breathe in the fresh, salty air. You're in paradise. You are surrounded by white sandy beaches and aquamarine seas. You can't truly imagine them until you see them in person. You are surrounded by pure luxury, thousands of miles from the hustle and bustle of any major city.

Twenty-Four Hours in Rocky Mountain National Park
At 5:10 a.m., Rocky Mountain National Park belongs to the elk, the marmots, and the people willing to leave a warm bed before dawn. The gates at the eastern side of the park open a landscape that changes by the mile, climbing from ponderosa pine forests toward the high country where the Continental Divide cuts across the horizon. For one perfect day, I would begin in Estes Park, with a full tank of gas, a thermos of coffee, and enough time to let the mountains set the schedule.

"There Are Wolves Up There!"
My professor friend K and I went for a hike to the mountains around the town of Mestia in Svaneti, the highest region in Georgia. We wanted to see the Koruldi Lakes near the glacier at the foot of the two-peak Ushba mountain of the Greater Caucasus Range separating Georgia and Russia.

A Day In Settle
Introduction Settle is a favourite holiday haunt of ours. The first time we stayed we brought a car. It was parked, and it never moved til we left. Since then we have stayed for a week or two each year, getting there by train from Newcastle to Carlisle, then Carlisle to Settle over the Ribblehead Viaduct.

Everything Dutch, just slower - A day on Texel
Before I moved to the Netherlands, I honestly had no idea this country even had islands. It sounds silly now, but somehow it never crossed my mind. So when I first heard about Texel , I was a bit confused - an island, part of the Netherlands, with its own dunes, sheep, and lighthouses? I had to see it for myself. And it turned out to be one of the most unusual places I've visited here. Everything about Texel is unmistakably Dutch - the flat green fields, the neat little houses, the way people say hello to strangers on the street. But at the same time, the whole island has this slow, calm energy that feels completely different from the mainland. It's like someone took the Netherlands and turned the volume down.

Three Reasons Why I Love Settle
Whenever I go on holiday I always track down places of interest to visit. This is one of the reasons I love coming to Settle. I take April Cottage at the bottom of Castlebergh Crag, and this is a quick rail journey to The Huntress of Skipton Castle Woods by train (a wonderful Willow sculpture by Anna Cross).

Why the Darién Gap Is Considered the Most Dangerous Jungle on Earth
Dark green walls of towering trees stretch farther than the eye can see. Thick vines swallow old paths. Rivers change direction without warning. Every step feels uncertain. This is the Darién Gap, one of the most mysterious and feared places on Earth. It is far more than a remote jungle. It is a place where survival is never guaranteed.

Is Morocco Suitable for Kids?
Before traveling to Morocco with my children, I had many questions. Would the cities be too busy? Would my kids enjoy the food? Would the long drives between destinations be exhausting? Would Morocco feel comfortable for a family vacation?
