Doris Gallan commented on Doris Gallan's group 'Baby Boomer Travel'
Many of us were inspired by literature to travel. One of my first influences, as a child of about 7 years, were the comic books from Belgium, Tin Tin. My latest article on HuffPost50 tells you all about it and shows what I looked like at that…

Doris Gallan commented on Doris Gallan's group 'Baby Boomer Travel'
Boomers have been telling me for years what they like and don't like about travel. Here's some of that info in my latest Huffington Post article:http://www.huffingtonpost.com/doris-gallan/what-boomers-absolutely-h_b_1201801.html?ref=fifty

This Baby Boomer went from being burned out in a stressful job with little time or patience to traveling and living around the world…

This ExPat Life: Wenzhou Violence
The Western world has a peculiar view of the Chinese as a very peaceful and obedient people. And so, readers have expressed surprise when I’ve written about how aggressive drivers are or how violent disputes over card games can be. I’ve warned travelers and expats that – as a pedestrian – even when you have the right of way, you never have the right of way. I’ve also written about how a card player, feeling cheated, went after a competitor with a metal…

This ExPat Life: International Fashion
I may not be a fashionista but I know what I like. Or, rather, what I don't like. Fashion in China is as Westernized as possible with a few quirks that I haven't seen elsewhere in my travels around the world. Check it out for yourself at: http://www.dorisgallan.com/articles/this-ex-pat-life/international-fashion/

Traveling in Northern China
The classic – stereotypical, even – places to see in northern China include the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, Tiananmen Square, and the Great Wall. A more recent addition is the “Bird’s Nest” – the stadium that was the heart of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Each of these has been hyped up so much that visitors may wonder what all the fuss is about when they finally see for themselves these wonders of China. The best place to prepare and understand is in history. Whether you read it… Continue

- Hi Doris,
Thanks for the warm welcome to the group. Hi everyone, I'm happy to be here. I'm still ramping up with this site but will be sure to post some of my travel stories and thoughts very soon. But quickly, I live in NYC, am 51, travel alone most of the time but am open to traveling with others. Have been traveling a lot to Hawaii for years now, Iceland, Europe, Canada, etc., and have my sights on Italy, Spain, South East Asia, Africa, Candian Rockies, Japan, etc.
Warmly,
Craig

- ThankX for the invitation in Doris. Selling my 6 acre orchid property here on Queensland's Sunshine Coast and as soon as a deal is set I'm off like a shot to Malaysia/Singapore to gather in more orchids stories. Maybe some of your friends can help with a lead. It's been four years since I've seen Asia and could use a bit of orchid update. Best MaX
