If there were an award for worst travel blogger, I probably wouldn't win. I'm not the worst, but I am not very consistent. Now if there were a contest for being the most inconsistent travel blogger... What were we talking about again? Sorry, but I got distracted. Literally. I was distracted for the past several months from this blog, and I may stay distracted for … [Read more...] about Where is Jeffsetter? A Brief Update
A Piedmontese Sunset (and Moonrise) in Treiso, Italy
I sure loved our time in Italy. My only complaint was the quality and consistency of the Internet. But that is pretty much my feedback from everywhere that is not 1 Gigabit Internet in San Francisco. Anyway, this view is from one of many great sunsets in Italy. About a 5 minute walk from our location in Treiso, a gem of a town with 360 views of beauty. … [Read more...] about A Piedmontese Sunset (and Moonrise) in Treiso, Italy
View from the 122nd Floor of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai
While I'm still not sure how I feel about Dubai, I did enjoy high tea at At.Mosphere restaurant in the 122nd floor of the Burj Khalifa. The views are pretty nice, but the haze around Dubai limited visibility. With the glare coming into the windows, photo options were limited. But I still liked how this photo of the Dubai Mall and fountain turned out. … [Read more...] about View from the 122nd Floor of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai
Aerial View of the Isle of Pines in New Caledonia
New Caledonia is already an "out of the way" destination, but adding Isle of Pines on top of it? You will need to add travel day on each side of your trip. Even then, a smooth journey isn't guaranteed. Our first flight was canceled (mid flight). We were denied the second flight. The third time was a charm, as we finally were able to set foot on the fabled pine … [Read more...] about Aerial View of the Isle of Pines in New Caledonia
Our First Look at Mount Aspiring, Wanaka New Zealand
For a week we walked into the town of Wanaka taking the same route. Left out of our flat, right down the road to the lake, right onto the path and within 20 minutes we would be in the city. … [Read more...] about Our First Look at Mount Aspiring, Wanaka New Zealand
The “Goonies Rock” in Cannon Beach, Oregon
It's funny how cognitive bias kicks in at all points of my life. My brother visited the "Goonies Rock" in Oregon over 10 years ago, but I never thought about it again. … [Read more...] about The “Goonies Rock” in Cannon Beach, Oregon
A Castle in the Rolling Hills of Barolo, Italy
Finally on solid ground in the United States, and figured I would do a brief post with a picture that just keeps on drawing my attention above all others. We were eating lunch on our way to the castle of Barolo, which conveniently houses the wine museum (where you learn about the history of wine). It takes about 2 years to get your final bill (and pay the bill) in Italy, so … [Read more...] about A Castle in the Rolling Hills of Barolo, Italy
Episode 11: What I Miss About the United States
After 4 months on the road, we will make our way back to the mainland USA next week for refueling, resupplying and quite a bit of work mixed in. What better time than now to talk about the things I miss the most about the US. … [Read more...] about Episode 11: What I Miss About the United States
Episode 10: Reflecting on 100 Days of Full Time Travel
We recently hit our 100 day mark on the road, so I dedicated this week's episode to talking about how things gone so far, what we have learned, and our approach moving forward. Spoiler alert: It has been great. We have very few regrets about the choice. But we are going to make some adjustments based on our experiences for the first 100 days. For example, we are going … [Read more...] about Episode 10: Reflecting on 100 Days of Full Time Travel
