Gorilla trekking in Uganda or Rwanda is without a doubt the single best wildlife experience in the world. Seeing the critically endangered mountain gorillas up close with your own eyes is like living in a nature show but finding them isn’t always easy. It can take hours of trekking through dense vegetation on difficult terrain and the right gear can make all the difference. Below are my 11 essential pieces of travel gear for anyone getting ready to cross-gorilla trekking off the bucket list.

You’ll notice one thing I don’t have on this list is a walking stick. Although highly recommended, it’s best to rent one from your porters. The hand-carved sticks they have are better than anything you’ll bring from home and if you really want, you can buy them from them afterwards for about $10.

Like most New Yorkers, I absolutely hate paying for the AirTrain when I need to go to JFK airport. I pay quite enough each month on my MetroCard as is so knowing I need to take a $10 hit just for making a round-trip to the airport is never any fun. Amazingly, there is a way around this. In fact, there is a way to pay exact half price next time you need to head to the airport. The MTA doesn’t make it too easy or intuitive so I’m going to show you how to do it step by step.

Step 1: Leave your existing MetroCard in your pocket and go to the vending machines at the entrance to the AirTrain. Instead of selecting that you want to buy one AirTrain ride, select “MetroCard” instead. This is counter-intuitive because the machine is making you think that it offers two services. One

From Southern Africa to the Galapagos Islands, now you can join us as we explore the world! We make all the arrangements and you get to enjoy the ride.

People seem to enjoy letting us plan their trips. This works out well since we kinda love doing it. Trip planning isn’t for everybody so we’re happy to put this skill set to use for others. Honestly, there’s nothing more rewarding than bringing someone to a new place and watching them experience it for the first time. For that reason, we have begun running our own exclusive small-group trips to select destinations around the world.

Group Tours

We know Southern Africa. Really well. So it makes sense that we began our group tour program with our first ever group to South Africa. Since then, we’ve brought people to Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana as well and have now begun expanding outside of Southern

When I found out I would be going to Norway I couldn’t wait to the cruise the fjords, visit the real life Arendelle, hike a glacier, and go rafting on a river that I had only previously experienced while drinking out of a fancy cylindrical glass bottle. Something I never really gave much thought to was Norwegian food. The closest I’d ever been to Scandinavian food was eating whale in Iceland and tiny meatballs at IKEA. Norway brought Scandinavian food to a whole other level. Here in no particular order are the 14 most noteworthy things I got to eat in the land of the midnight sun.

#14. Brown Cheese
Brown Cheese, or Brunost, can be found almost everywhere. It stands out because it looks like cheese but is unsettlingly brown. You won’t find a Norwegian breakfast buffet without sizable quantities of brown cheese seemingly setup as some sort of alter that the Norwegians flock to and foreigners

When I found out I’d be doing some trekking while in Norway, it was hard not to think of my past experience trekking in Nepal and be a little concerned. I had learned the hard way that trekking was not for me. Especially in the rain. Preconceptions aside, I was willing to give it another go. Especially because this wasn’t just any trek, this was the trek to Norway’s Preikestolen, or Pulpit Rock. The iconic fjord overlook that graces the cover of countless Norway guidebooks and travel magazines. I wanted to stand in that place, and I was willing to do what was necessary to get there.

The Preikestolen, or Pulpit Rock, is one of the most recognizable spots in Norway and often graces the cover of guidebooks. This image courtesy of Visit Norway.

The trek to Pulpit Rock begins just outside the Norwegian city of Stavanger and is easily

I love PEZ. Not many people know this about me, but I used to be rather obsessed with PEZ. Would it surprise you to know that I have a collection of 439 PEZ dispensers or that I own more PEZ memorabilia than most people even know exist? It’s been awhile since I was an active “PEZ Head” but there was a point in time where I owned every single PEZ dispenser currently released in the United States. What can I say? I’m not subtle with my hobbies.

I made it! The PEZ Visitor Center and Factory in Orange, CT

Most of the PEZ distributed in the United States comes from the PEZ factory in Orange, CT. Orange is located just an hour and forty minutes from where I grew up but until recently, visitors were never allowed. I remember as a kid reading accounts of the lucky few
