Animals of the Everglades
Blog: Vagabond3 - 19 January 2012
I’m a little embarrassed to admit that, as a Florida resident, I’ve never been to the Everglades. I’ve traveled all around the state of Florida, especially when I was in undergrad, but I never made my way down to South Florida to experience this vast and incredible ecosystem- over 200 million acres. This area is home to hundreds of different plants and animals, including some of Florida and the United States...

The Birth of Land on the Big Island Hawaii
Blog: Ottsworld - 17 January 2012
I stand looking out over the jagged landscape; toppled-over trees without bark and a silver sheen provide a contrast against the dark petrified sea of lava.

Drive to Mauna Kea
Blog: Ottsworld - 13 January 2012
As I drove the gradual incline, the car downshifted to a lower gear, jerked and slowly inched up the road; I could feel just how hard it seemed to be working to get up to the Mauna Kea visitor center. Hawaii has the tallest mountain on earth. No, I haven’t lost my mind, and no, [...]

A Place to Call Home on the Big Island
Blog: Ottsworld - 12 January 2012
As a solo traveler I look for smaller, intimate places to stay. I feel lost in big resorts and quite frankly it’s just not my style. I was combing the internet in search of a small, local place to stay near Waimea on the Big Island and I came across Annette at the Aloha Vacation [...]

Blog: La Tortuga Viajera - 11 January 2012
“I expected more meth heads,” I told Laura as my trip to New Mexico came to a close. Perhaps I’d watched a touch too much Breaking Bad. After all, you know something’s wrong when you’re slightly disillusioned by the lack of druggies, crack houses and drug cartel violence. Yep, I went to New Mexico while [...]
