What To Do When You’ve Been Robbed While Traveling
Any seasoned traveler will eventually run into some sort of problem. When you have all your possessions in a suitcase or a backpack, getting robbed abroad while traveling can be devastating.
When You Learn, Teach. When You Get, Give. – Maya Angelou
Since my first trip abroad to Vietnam when I was 20, I’ve been learning everything about traveling one flight at time. Tips, tricks, hacks, mistakes. They’re all a part of it. Most I learned from experiencing, some I learned from experts and those who came before me. And some from my fellow travelers. I learned how to travel for cheap. And then cheaper. I learned how to save time planning. Or not plan at all.
This is where I’m trying to do my part to give back and try to inspire a few of you to get out and plan that dream trip you’ve always wanted to do. You never stop learning. This is why I’m still in love with traveling after all these years. Everyday is a chance to encounter something new and experience something different. The world is just so big and it’s always changing. I’m doing my part to just ride this wave.

Iceland, in all its isolation, has been one of the countries that has fared pretty well with the pandemic. For those who are looking for a winter adventure in 2024, Iceland should be high on your list.
There are scams almost everywhere there are hordes of tourists. Your chances of encountering it comes down to just where you are and how many other tourists are around.
Slot canyons are fun to play around in, unless you’re that guy from 127 hours. While visiting Zion National Park, my friend Alex and I went on a canyoning adventure through a slot canyon (just outside the park) and wanted more.
It’s been over a decade since my first trip to Black Rock City and I’m pretty sure that I’m no longer carrying any playa dust on my body.
Antelope Canyon is one of those places that you just want, even if it’s been done a million times. The colors of the sandstone, as vibrant as they are in photographs are just something else you need to see for yourself.
“Will you follow me one last time?” If you are a fan of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the RingsĀ and The Hobbit trilogies, I don’t need to convince you to put a visit to the The Hobbit movie set at the top of your must-do list when visiting New Zealand’s North Island.
Salzburg is famously known for three things: Mozart, The Sound of Music, and Red Bull. Did you know that? Honestly, I had no idea that Red Bull originated in Austria, let alone Salzburg.
On my first visit to Salzburg in 2006, I saw a lot of advertisements for something called the Original Sound of Music Tour.
Is it strange that one of Iceland’s top attraction is a plane wreck out in the middle of nowhere? Sometime back in the 1970s, an American military plane crash landed on an insignificant stretch of black sand beach on the south coast of Iceland.
NOTE: This was my carefully researched and curated ICELAND WINTER road trip itinerary for our 7 days THERE during the month of February.
Deciding to go to Iceland is the easy part. Choosing the time of year to go is much harder. During the summer, you can get nearly 23 hours of daylight, which opens up all kinds of possibility for traveling at different hours of the day.
