  • Sunday Special – Sedona, Arizona, USA

    Today’s Sunday Special is a place that is high on my bucket list – the American southwest town of Sedona, Arizona. Even one of my all-time fav songs is called “Sedona” by Houndmouth (click the link to watch their video). Photos of Sedona’s red rock terrain have enraptured my mind for years. It’s proximity to…

  • Sunday Special – Manuel Antonio National Park, Costa Rica

    The small yet beautiful Central American country of Costa Rica is a popular destination for many travelers. It is a place that I myself want to visit one day soon. It is not just the beaches that draw people to this tropical gem. Much of the land there is protected, in fact 25% of it…

  • Sunday Special – Athabasca Falls, Canada

    Waterfalls are a sight that will likely make you stop to take a look. Some are so high and wide that they are the reason we travel to see them. Think Niagara Falls (Canada & USA), Iguazú Falls (Brazil & Argentina), Angel Falls (Venezuela), and Victoria Falls (Zambia & Zimbabwe). Although Athabasca Falls, located in…

Mountains, desserts, plains, lakes, rivers, islands, glaciers, plateaus and caves can be found in this region…

  • Sunday Special – Porto, Portugal

    A place that I have been yearning to visit for some time is Portugal. Flying over it early this year was cool to see as I pictured myself exploring this small yet enticing county. The northern city of Porto (Oporto) is a popular destination and from what I have learned of it, it has moved…

  • Sunday Special – Antigua

    The Caribbean Sea holds many gems, some of which I have been fortunate enough to visit. In the sea’s Leeward Islands is the country of Antigua and Barbuda, two small islands that appear to pack quite a punch for sun-seekers. Today will focus in on Antigua, the larger of the two isles. I have yet…

  • Sunday Special – Salzburg, Austria

    From what I have read and heard, 2020 is the year for Salzburg, Austria. Its famed Salzburg Festival turns 100 years old and there is no shortage of events to take in. If you are not there for the festival, do not fear. The city itself is filled baroque architecture, picturesque parks, contemporary art, Mozart…
