I wrote this series in Sept/Oct of this year and when I finished I realized something.  I had written a small book– over 30,000 words, or about 150 pages in pdf format.  That’s a lot of blog to read.  So to make things easier, I put those posts together into an ebook, that you can [...]

Today’s free book isn’t a new release (it was first published in 2000) and it isn’t directly related to travel.  I chose to review this book based on it’s premise: “The Tipping Point is that magical moment when an idea , trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire.” To me, [...]

I was in Belize, a paid trip by the Belize board of Tourism and I’m slurping down ceviche and broiled lobster and wondering about ethics.

He was talking about his vision of transforming not only the food, but every detail—to the tours offered (more culture, less glitz), to food sourcing (think local), to community involvement (replanting an important [...]

“Ok Christine, here is where you get out.” Our Belizean tour guide, David, who had informed me earlier that he had done a lot of things in the Cockscomb Jaguar Reserve, but didn’t want to add “delivered a baby” onto the list, was now floating ahead of the group and pointing to the embankment. We [...]

This week I’m writing from Belize while on a Travel Blogger Fam trip hosted (and paid for– the trip, not the post) by the Belize Tourism Board. I am posting with a 24 hour lag.  We arrived on Monday 11/9. I stepped off the plane in Belize and it hit me. That sweet smell of [...]

Today, I’m flying to Belize courtesy of Belize Tourism. I’ll be joining four other bloggers for a six day Fam Trip, where they’ve arranged a packed itinerary of jungle tours, cave tubing, zip line canopy tours, snorkeling, parasailing, Mayan ruins and more.  Oh and they’re putting up us in some lovely hotels and hosting all [...]
