Ah, Rio! It’s an amazing city for many reasons, although one of them might not come to mind as easily as, say for example, the beaches.

One Day in Helsinki: What to Do, What to Skip (2026)
One day in Helsinki is enough to feel like you’ve seen the place. Not enough to feel like you’ve got to know it, but enough to tick off the things that actually matter and leave with a handle on what Helsinki is. I’ve been here several times now, in summer and in winter, and a […]
Visiting the worlds largest Archipelago
If I asked you to name the largest group of islands (by number) in the world, I wonder where you’d think that might be. Pause a moment and ponder.

How to Become a Travel Blogger
I’ve been a travel blogger professionally since 2010. I’m often asked what that’s like, how to become a travel blogger, how I started my own travel blog, how we got our travel blogs to where they are today and how we make money as travel bloggers. After all, we travel for a living. It’s the […]
Brief Wanders in Sri Lanka: A Photo Essay
I recently spent a very brief amount of time in Sri Lanka, a country I have never visited before, and where I am helping to set up a conference with the Professional Travel Bloggers Association.
