Exploring Clew Bay: one island at a time Collanmore Island, one of 365 islands in the Clew Bay, is where I spent two days during my Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way trip. People say it takes one full year to visit every island in the Clew Bay. One down, and 364 to go! It’s safe to …

Exploring the oldest desert on Earth From a list of thirty amazing Pre-Summit Adventures, I chose the Namib Desert trip. Although I felt that going on a safari would be an appropriate choice for my very first trip to Africa, I couldn’t pass up a chance to spend time in one of the most beautiful …
So Many Natural Colors at Finca Argovia After almost a full day of traveling, I finally landed a small airport at Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico.
