The Semi Non-Unofficial Preparation Guide To Travel Blog Exchange (TBEX) 2011 In Vancouver, Canada

It's almost here! By almost, I mean less than two months away. TBEX. An annual (and then some) gathering of travel bloggers, marketers, PR folks and other travel industry hooligans with the sole purpose of having a number of parties. No, I mean. It's a time to bond, to learn, to grow, to hope Gary uses the word 'porn' in a presentation again. And then party.



As TBEX has grown from the initial, “What the heck are we… Continue

Wishing For Fresh Air, Finding Kathmandu

I am desperate for fresh air the moment I land in Kathmandu.

Airport. Airplane. Airport. Airplane. And finally, airport. All of them, except the last, enclosed habit-trails of recycled breath. Others’. Mine. A few token plants thrown in to hand out five molecules of pure oxygen for the 250,000 humans transiting the Pacific travel corridor.

My end point, Kathmandu, an unlikely place to find clean air and my checked luggage. It isn’t clean so I’ll call it fresh air that greets me…

Exploring Kazumura Cave On Hawai'i's Big Island

Kazumura Cave Climbing down a crooked ladder. Scrambling over moss laden rocks tossed around with no mercy for ankle joints. And then peering into the darkness fore and aft in this 25' wide hole in the Hawai'ian countryside. This is how I first came to enter the Kazumura Cave, the world's longest and deepest lava tube.



Formed in multiple eruptions from Kilauea, the tube now extends some 40 miles on land and untold miles… Continue

My First Time Swimming With Dolphins In Hawaii

Mama and Baby "Swim with, not at." That was the advice Captain Tori from Wild Side Hawai'i wanted us to remember most. Swim WITH the dolphins, not AT them. Sitting on the swim step of the Alaka'i, getting ready to slip into the water with mask, snorkel and fins on, I felt my heart rate increase. We… Continue

Galiano Island In The Off Season

090916-100548-2664 It's hard to imagine these beautiful islands ever having an off season. I'm talking here about the Gulf Islands off of Vancouver, British Columbia . Lush with evergreen trees and rocky beaches, these emeralds in the sea beckon year round. Personally, I LOVE the off season for travel just about anywhere. Sure, I have to put up with some less than ideal weather from time to time, but the off season is a great time to relax away from the… Continue

The Floating Clouds commented on Peter West Carey's blog post 'Wishing For Fresh Air, Finding Kathmandu'
I was reminded of my recent trip to Kathmandu when my lock was broken and although nothing was lost, I felt someone may have slipped something illegal without my knowledge. There was no one at the counter to lodge the complaint and as I got out,…

The difference between knowing the routine at KTM airport, and not knowing the routine, makes all the...well...difference. I was just there 2 weeks ago, and the windy thunderstorms which swept over Kathmandu each day I was there kept the air crisp…

I'm sure after you get some dal bhat in you that you will feel better. At some point the chaos of Kathmandu becomes the norm. At least it did for me after three months in the thick of it.

Hey Peter, I'm following you on your way to the conference. Will you have time to come and meet me in Wicker Park on Saturday?

I just wanted to invite you to a little meetup I'm organizing at noon in Wicker Park Sat., July 25.

We'll eat some delicious food, soak up the rays and listen to the bands for some general chilling out before the conference.

Hi Peter,
I just saw the thread you posted on Photobloggers. I'd love to have some of my work featured on your site. How do I get in touch with you?

In the meantime, if you'd like to see some of my photos, you can view a few here on TBEX and I'm on Flickr at http://www.flickr.com/globetrotteri

I also have a travel and photography website called My Several Worlds.

Thanks Peter! We've been building it for the past several months and will now start marketing it. We hope to have fellow Americans contribute as well. The rest of the world is on board with career breaks - we need to catch up :)

You may have seen this already, Peter, but thought this would be up your alley. I've enjoyed your gear reviews. You could be a gear tester for Outside Online!
