Coconut Radio: December 2014
http://coconutradio.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 3, 2014. Passports With Purpose Round Five: Honduras. It’s that time of year again. For the fifth time in the last six years Kamoka Pearl. Is donating a prize to Passports With Purpose. Via my blog (last year I was so crazy busy that I missed it). I really love doing this since it’s a way to blend my travel writing with my family’s Tahitian pearl business in a way that reflects my values and I hope, the values of my work. The year I went to Cambodia, they built a village in India.
Global Ramblings: Bush and Ballpark Cuisine: Dakar, Senegal
http://globalrambler.blogspot.com/2009/02/bush-and-ballpark-cuisine-in-dakar.html
Stories from trips through Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Bush and Ballpark Cuisine: Dakar, Senegal. Not exactly a picture postcard kind of place, as it seems to be populated mostly by husters, hasslers, robbers, and shady businessmen. No wonder George W. chose it as his first stop in. Speaking of Bush's visit, here's a little story that didn't get much airplay, a story of freedom American-style:. For a grand total of 6 hours (hey, it beats. Which got about 3 hours). He landed in. The families were c...
Global Ramblings: Grounded in In Binh: North Vietnam
http://globalrambler.blogspot.com/2009/02/grounded-in-in-binh-vietnam.html
Stories from trips through Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Grounded in In Binh: North Vietnam. I was thumbing through a Gabriel Garcia Marquez novel when our bus flew off the road and into the lime-green mountain. We heard metal scrape metal, then – for a second – the bus was weightless and drifting. Bushes smashed up against the windows before we ground to a halt, tipped at a 45-degree angle against a wall of rock. The book's title was One Hundred Years of Solitude. So be nice to him.”. His method - ...

Global Ramblings: Moto Madness in Cambodia
http://globalrambler.blogspot.com/2009/02/moto-madness-in-cambodia.html
Stories from trips through Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Moto Madness in Cambodia. Mister, where you go? We hear these words 30 to 40 times per day. There are no taxicabs or local buses in. So if we want a ride somewhere we have to clamber onto the back of a small motorcycle with a baseball-capped driver. It is not difficult to find these guys. We are, in fact, stalked by them. When we walk down the street, they pull up one after the other. Most of the time they are stretching the truth. He must hav...

Tales from my Second City | Adventures in Near Disaster
Tales from my Second City. October 3, 2017 · 9:04 am. We rise and we fall. I’m wading through it, chickens. I start and stop writing. I get angry. I get sad. I go on unproductive rants on Twitter, which end in trolls telling me I’m a stupid hoe. That Chicago is a terrible, unsafe place and it’s because of our liberal mayor or because we have minorities here. I feel hopeless, about the state of all this. Sixteen times to my kids and feel slightly better. It’s a cycle. Here’s the thing. I get that,. If you...
