AUSTRALIA
Have you ever dreamed of visiting the land down under? Do you speak’a my language? Are you brave enough to try a vegemite sandwich? I know when I say “Australia”, you’re thinking of dusky orange sands, croaking didgeridoos, and rock formations rising from the earth like alien masonic temples. That…

BUENOS AIRES
Way down below the equator, a stone’s throw away from the tip of Antarctica, lies a sub-tropical paradise. On every street corner, tango dancers twist and curl themselves around each other like a bunch of turned-on snakes, and the perfume of dulce de leche intermingles with the heady scent of…

EGYPT
I’ve been all over the world, and I have to say: I think Egypt takes the cake. I mean no disrespect to any of the other countries, because I had such a great time and I made such lasting memories, but I mean… it’s Egypt. The dang Pyramids are there! What could…
