Three and a half years ago, I journeyed to Kerala to experience “God’s Own Country” for myself. I’d heard about Alleppey’s incredible backwaters, the adventures in Wayanad and beautiful hills for trekking in Munnar. A chance to try the best desserts in Kerala excited me.

Vietnam in two weeks: A perfect itinerary for 14 days in Vietnam
For as long as I can remember, my dad has been my adventure buddy. I became a Junior Open Water Scuba diver as soon as I turned 12. My first open water dive happened in the Florida Keys, not long after a hurricane. I remember asking my dad (and dive buddy) if the 5-foot waves […]

My parents and sister live in the Christmas Capital of […]
Swim with Orcas in Norway: a killer (whale) adventure
In the 1990s, the world was a different place. People smoked in restaurants (separated by a half wall partition that constituted the ‘smoking section’). We used plastic bags with thoughtless abandon. And we visited SeaWorld to experience larger-than-life marine mammals up close. It was one thing to love dolphins because Lisa Frank’s technicolor world included […]
