Changsha Travel Guide: My Travel Itinerary, Budget, Tips and Observations

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park

About a year ago there was a big AirAsia sale and I got a great price on a direct flight from Chiang Mai to Changsha, China. I knew nothing about Changsha or the surrounding area (Hunan province) and this would be my first trip anywhere in China. As it turns out, the nearby cities of Wulingyuan, Zhangjiajie and Fenghuang make for a great 1-2 week … [ Read more ]

Rather, as I started contemplating my lengthy travels in Central and South America, I started hearing about Ushuaia, the “end of the world.” Then I started to hear … [ Read more ]

Continuing to highlight my fascination with street art of all kinds, here are photos I took in Chile.

Travel Tips: Bolivia Travel Guide

P1050897 1024x768 150x150 - Travel Tips: Bolivia Travel Guide

Bolivia seems to be one of those countries that some people seem to really love while others think it is vastly overrated. Without a doubt, there is a lot of natural beauty on display in this country, with access to 6,000 meter mountains and the Amazon within hours of the impressive capital of La Paz.
