I traveled around Tanzania for two months, renting comfortable budget rooms ( $15-$20 per night), roaming from Dar Es Salaam to Arusha to Moshi. At the end of my trip I decided to head to the coast to enjoy an all-inclusive resort along the Indian Ocean.     I sent an email to Peponi Resort […]

Who knew that going underground could be so fun and interesting. I broke away from my castle hopping around Cardiff, Wales to visit the coal mine known as The Big Pit in Blaenavon, Wales. This is a free attraction, but I would have paid. It was that good. To go underground into the tunnels that […]

Castle Hopping Day Trip in Wales

March 26, 2018April 10, 2018 PJLeave a Comment

Here is a day trip that will take you to five castles, only 10-15 minutes from each other, with the exception of Goodrich, in England, which is 30 minutes, but worth the extra drive.  Along the way, I also stopped at Tintern Abbey, which is beyond expectation. There are no detours getting to it, it’s […]

My Tanzanian Experience – Video

March 22, 2018April 10, 2018 PJLeave a Comment

Ernest Hemingway stated, “I never knew of a morning in Africa when I woke up and was not happy.” Yet, when it comes to Tanzania, I think John Hemingway said it best “If I have ever seen magic, it has been in Africa.” Here is the video I made for Mama Simba’s Homebase in Moshi, […]

Visiting Coptic Cairo and The Church That Hid Jesus

For my last tour day, I am told we are going to Garbage City today to see the Monastery of Saint Simon. I have no idea what to expect. Apparently, everyone who lives in this town works in the garbage industry. There is zero unemployment. To say there is a huge trash problem in Cairo […]

Usk Castle and Castles Not To Bother With

Jewels, Armor, Beast and Sinister Stories – The Tower Of London

London Is Worth Seeing (lots of photos)

London was not on my radar to visit, it just happened to be where my flight was departing. Of course, I knew of historic sites, but I categorized the UK as a someday when I have nowhere better to be destination. They speak English, so I thought, where was the challenge!? Well, once I arrived, […]

In August I was in Cairo for a week. Plenty of people were concerned about me traveling to Egypt, so to ease their minds and mine, I hired Egypt Trip Tours. It was the best decision, they were excellent and everything for me was worry free.     I thought there was no way my […]

The Roman Baths and The City of Bath

I love anything that has to do with the ancient Romans, so naturally, when I searched how far it was to Bath, England from Cardiff, Wales I instantly had my next day trip destination planned. The drive is just a little over an hour and a half.       Arriving ten minutes after The […]
