Six Reasons to Savor Spain

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark December 28, 2011 Travel and Adventures

Flamenco: I was first blessed with the good fortune to enjoy authentic, rustic and spontaneous flamenco in Madrid during the summer I spent there in my wide-eyed eighteenth year. I stayed with my American girlfriend who was living there and had fettered out the best local places for food-ing, disco-ing and flamenco gawking. Let’s just [...]

Which Witch? Petra was one such gem that our guide Gary Scott arranged for [...]

The Serendipity of Traveling Solo – Or, Why There is No “of course!” in the Italian Language

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark August 12, 2011 Travel and Adventures

I won’t gloss it over for you. I will not profess to “love traveling alone” because, at times, frankly, it gets kind of lonesome. But I will proclaim emphatically that some of my most cherished travel moments have come from doing just that: venturing out on my own. “A journey is like marriage. The certain [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. Remember, “south” [...]

Another lost chance to be toned and well-honed, loved, rich, enlightened, famous, respected, vice-free (so un-fun!) and any myriad other gag-inducing goals. OK fyne! Being rich is [...]

Thailand Part II: Beach Bar, Bonfires, Buckets and Bonding

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark October 16, 2010 Travel and Adventures

Bonding can come in many forms. It can occur whilst enduring discomforts or stresses together. Or, through simply enjoying good times. I left off with a kinked neck and folded legs on a long bus ride from Bangkok. My co-volunteers and I were finally deposited at the port at 4:30 am and were told the [...]
