Interview With Cez Krol – Digital Nomad
I met Cez, virtually, by responding to a twitter mention about his business, bloginstallations.com. However, not only does he provide great services for my WordPress website, but he has also proven to be a kindred spirit. Cez is a wonderful representation of a young modern-day freedom lover. In the old days, he might have had the gumption to travel west in a covered wagon in search of adventure and opportunities. Nowadays, he travels east to beautiful locations and is managing a creative lifestyle that is at once inspiring and interesting. Hope that you enjoy this interview. 1....
Read MoreQuebec City
There is a touch of magic about Quebec City. I have spent quite a bit of time exploring this enchanting place. For one thing, for about 32 years, I lived in the state of Maine. Centrally located in the foothills, I could travel south to Boston or north to Quebec City in roughly four hours either way. Our northern border is something that perhaps I took for granted for the biggest part of my life. There was a time, in the not too distant past, when Americans didn’t even need a passport to visit Canadian friends. Sad to say, those days are long gone. Yet, Canada continues to offer...
Read MoreIs it Safe for Women to Travel Alone?
I am often asked if it is safe for women to travel alone. The answer to that is a qualified yes. In other words, most of the time I do feel it is safe for women to travel alone. I have also done enough solo traveling to think that I can speak on the topic with some authority. So, here are 8 things women may want to mull over before deciding whether traveling without a companion is right for them. Traveling without a man does not mean that you need to travel alone. I have traveled with my sister before and we had a ball. Never go somewhere that your gut is telling you not to go. I...
Read MoreEngland, East Sussex, the South Downs, and More
How I have managed to write so little about England, I will never know. I lived in East Sussex for six weeks, enjoying the South Downs. Furthermore, for as long as I can recall, I have been completely infatuated with everything “English”. I love the English countryside, English cottage gardens, English writers and actors, and the westside of London where the theater district lies. The very thought of high tea on the boardwalk in Eastbourne makes me shiver with delight. I adore walking on the South Downs, climbing stiles and crossing babbling brooks, one rock at a time. An English pub...
Read MoreFlashback to Ireland – County Kerry
County Kerry Peninsulas – Dingle and Ring of Kerry I stumbled across a journal entry that I wrote during the first year that my husband and I went abroad for a nine-month period. We spent two and a half months in County Kerry, Ireland. Not our last time to live in this luscious country, and not my first time to see it, but a precious time that I often find myself longing to repeat. Having gone without a car for almost four months, we had just come from ninety days in Spain, we decided to rent one and feast our eyes upon the Irish countryside, in particular the Dingle Peninsula and the...
Read MoreTravel Pet Peeves
Just for fun, I made this trifling little list of top ten travel pet peeves. I might add that not one of these pet peeves has managed to discourage me from going abroad. I expect the day will eventually come when my legs won’t carry me where I want to go or my mind won’t be able to hang on to an itinerary. Hopefully, at that time, I will have the good sense to find another way of doing things. After all, I don’t want to become someone else’s travel pet peeve – people who can’t remember where they are going? Until then, I may grumble occasionally,...
