Blog: GoBackpacking - 30 June 2009
So I’m lounging on my couch after two late nights of partying in Medellin, waiting to be picked up by some new friends to spend the night at a finca (country house) for the first time, when Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations comes on the TV.

Is a Kiva loan really interest free?
Blog: Kiva Stories from the Field - 1 June 2009

Blog: An American in London - 5 May 2009
The first time I visited Barcelona was in November 2005, and back then, I made the mistake of not making any dinner reservations in advance, which meant that by the time I rang up highly-sought-after Barcelona restaurants, I was too late. So instead of swanking it up at the likes of Comerc 24, I [...]
