Italian Dolomites: Foxes, Fox Holes, Foot Paths, and Food

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark July 15, 2011 Hiking

Today was another mixed bag of awesome in the Italian Dolomites. In the morning, some of the group enjoyed an international horse-jumping event, one (not me!) went on a vigorous bike ride and we all reconvened for a lovely lunch on a covered patio of a local restaurant. I’m becoming hooked on these grande salads [...]

Venice: A Thing of Beauty – Then and Now

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark July 3, 2011 Travel and Adventures

Venice has been called the most beautiful city in the world. After meandering and savoring it’s many delights and sights for four days, I confess I won’t stand up and challenge that statement. I had been to Venice before, as an 18-year old high on freedom, possibility and the adventures made available to young travelers [...]

Washington DC, Fireflies …and Irreverent Me

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark June 26, 2011 Interactive Travel

Have you ever seen the U.S. capitol? Toured the monuments? Visited the hallowed halls of the founding fathers and their documents of “We’re mad as hell and we’re not going to take this any more!”-ness ? But….have you ever seen fireflies? I am patriotic, really! (said with perhaps too much doth protesting) And I find [...]

Santa Barbara – Living La Vida Local

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark May 20, 2011 Travel and Adventures

As much as I’ve called this tranquil town my second or third home by visiting it so much, I’ve never lounged around on my own, basking in the feeling of living like a local in Santa Barbara. I’m house-sitting for a few weeks and that means my childhood friend who I pal around with when [...]

New Zealand: The Elusive Kiwi – and I Don’t Mean Fruit!

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 26, 2011 Travel and Adventures

Another excerpt from my down-underings in New Zealand: Being the avid birders that we are, my mum and I decided to take a pilgrimage to Stewart Island, off the southern most tip of the south island of New Zealand, to get our best chance of seeing the rare Kiwi bird in the wild.

Snowshoeing Idyllwild: What a Way to Winter Wonderland it!

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark February 3, 2011 Hiking

I once held the opinion that snow shoeing seemed dull and plodding. I was foolishly comparing it to my other winter sport of choice: downhill skiing. Now I know better True, there is the absence of the adrenaline rush, unless you count, of course, the hair curling screams of local abominable snow beasts lurking behind [...]
