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 […]

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

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

ShareBonding 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 […]

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 […]

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark August 17, 2010 Hiking

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark July 29, 2010 Hiking

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark May 31, 2010 Belly Dance

ShareRoad trips are always an adventure. But gather five friends who belly dance together and you get a whole new synergy.

New Zealand: Lamb Squeezing

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark May 6, 2010 Random Ponderings

ShareNo, it’s not some new, esoteric form of carnivorous culinaria. 😉 Rather, I wanted – needed – to cuddle one of the darling cotton ball creatures ambling along on the hillsides since I stepped out of Auckland proper on my lucky visit there: When winds are soft, And the days are warm and clear, Just […]

Tongue-In-Cheeky Travel Tip: The Key to Pleasing Parisians

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark April 27, 2010 Travel and Adventures

ShareI shall try not to bite my tongue. And Pleasing Parisians? That there’s a triple entendre: 1) “pleasing” as a verb 2) “pleasing” as an adjective and 3) “please-ing” as in saying “please” I know I know, it’s a national pastime here in the states to gripe and moan about how very ruuuude the French […]

Spain-i-licious Serendipity: Bar Hopping in BCN

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 13, 2010 Travel and Adventures

ShareI found a bar in Barcelona. I know – amazing, right? To find a place for cocktails in the self-proclaimed party capital of Spain, the fiesta capital of the world. It is called BAR-celona, haha. But, you see, those other bars, they don’t have Estefania, a Windex-wielding, hip shaking, singing camarera. Allow me to start […]
