About Me

I have been traveling now for about a year for my job. It usually takes me to the same spots over and over again, but every now and again I hit somewhere new.My bride and I also just like to travel and try new things, especially food.So here you will have my take on restarants, beer (I brew & try locals / micros), cities in general (atmosphere, what to do, etc.), transportation (local / public transit & long distance carriers), and although I usually stay at mid-line / buisness class hotels, if I have an especially good or bad experience, I'll pass that on as well.
