Tucked in the northeast corner of Indiana along the shores of Lake James and Snow Lake, Pokagon State Park offers a winter adventure that I’ve been hearing about since I was a child – a 1,780 foot refrigerated toboggan run. This winter of 2021, I finally I managed a visit with my mom and her […]
Stop what you’re doing, get out your bucket lists and add “visit the Bottleworks District in Indianapolis” to your list. You can thank me later. I had the chance to tour the Bottleworks District last week to see the completed projects of the last few years: The Bottleworks Hotel, The Garage (a food hall) and […]

Tucked away behind Mt. Elgon, on the far east side of Uganda, sits Sipi Falls. It’s actually a series of three waterfalls which appear rather small from the drive up the mountain – an illusion of distance. Sipi is a nature lover’s paradise. There’s something for the active, the adrenaline junkies, animal photographers, and those […]

I spent eight days in three different cities in Poland and was completely charmed, not to mention pleased by how easily I was able to stay close to my budget.
