A few years ago, I took a brilliant Mexico road trip, starting and ending in the city of Orizaba: My friend and I had to backtrack from San Cris to Tuxtla Gutierrez to get to Palenque, but other than that, this was basically the correct route. Along the road trip, I noticed some amusingly “humble” […]

Travel Photography: Maps v. Reality
In part, I’m writing this brief post because I’m looking for suggestions for a new offline Android maps app. You see, for years I was a loyal user of maps.me; simply search for the destination, then download a map of that region. That’s it. For whatever reason, in the middle of 2022, I noticed major, […]
Five Meals in Baku, Azerbaijan
In late 2016, I visited Baku, Azerbaijan (in Azeri, Bakı, Azərbaycan) after learning about the ease of getting a tourist visa if you were a passenger on Azerbaijan Airlines’ New York JFK-Baku GYD flight. With more time, I would have explored the vast biodiversity of the country; however, this short trip was focused on Baku, the […]
Throwback Thursday: Hamburg, February 2021

Although I never had […]

Airline Meals, Part 2
In my first piece on airline meals, I explored a few in-flight examples that I tried between 2016 and 2019, just prior to the pandemic. As I mentioned in that post, even if the food doesn’t taste good, or if it’s not particularly healthy, be content that you’re traveling somewhere. Then again, it’s not that all […]

Photo of the Week: A Split Decision
Santa Barbara, California, the “American Riviera,” is nice little beach town a couple of hours northwest of Los Angeles. It is surrounded by some beautiful natural scenery, many homes and buildings were designed using the Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style, and there isn’t much light pollution (i.e. once it’s nighttime, don’t expect to be able to […]
