South Africa for a Week – An Introduction

by

In early April of 2014, I took a trip to South Africa with my father. While the trip was only for a week (far too short of a time to spend in such a beautiful country), it took a fair amount of planning over the course of 6 months to get things right. Here is an introduction to how I planned for the trip, how much things cost in cash or points/miles, and other observations on … [Read more...] about South Africa for a Week – An Introduction

That night we visited the Sky Bar for … [Read more...] about Sunset over Asheville North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains [Photo of the Week]

When people talk about the cities of Europe, many say that Prague and Budapest are the most beautiful cities that you can visit. While I probably need to visit more cities to confirm that notion, I can say that Prague and Budapest are indeed beautiful.

A few weeks ago I wrote a post about a cool offer being put out by the country of Dominica to visit their island and film, photograph or write about your experience. At the time I was skeptical about applying for the Dominica Challenge due to travel already being booked over these dates, but after some convincing by Mrs. Jeffsetter we decided to apply at the last minute. … [Read more...] about The Free Trip That Never Was: My Dominica Challenge Application

Iguana on a Rock, Frenchtown, St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands

This week's photo comes from December of 2013. While walking along the waterfront in Charlotte Amalie on the island of St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands, we happened upon a harbor in an area called Frenchtown while looking for a pizza place called Pie Whole. While taking a moment to rest and enjoy another view of the harbor, we noticed a large and proud iguana hanging on … [Read more...] about Iguana on a Rock, Frenchtown, St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands
