Santa Barbara – Living La Vida Local

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

ShareAs 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 […]

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

Snowshoeing Idyllwild: What a Way to Winter Wonderland it!

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark February 3, 2011 Hiking

Share 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 […]

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 […]

Bangkok: Orient-ation for My Volunteer Stint or: Temples, Trannies, Tigers and Toilet Paper

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark October 7, 2010 Travel and Adventures

ShareIt sounds more exotic than it was. Also, I’m not so philanthropic that I gave no thought to my own enrichment and enjoyment by traveling once again to Thailand, a country I have thoroughly enjoyed in the past. But this time, my final destination would be the island Ko Tao and what I hoped would […]

Santa Barbara: Like Visiting an Old Friend

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark September 4, 2010 Interactive Travel

ShareI grew up in west L.A. Good, bad and ugly, one of the good-est aspects of this childhood locale was it’s proximity to Santa Barbara. It’s hard to know how many people have heard of this gem of Southern California. I mean, I believe it’s fairly well known; If for no other reason than the […]
