Legend has it that by throwing one coin into the fountain ensures a return trip to Rome. I can’t wait to go back! The Trevi Fountain is spectacular both day and night. I was lucky enough to see it in both scenarios. It is a massive, two-tiered fountain, sunk into the street and big enough [...]
A DAY IN THE VATICAN
On our second day of our Italy trip, we went ‘out’ of Rome to visit The Vatican City. Not exactly out and away of course since Vatican is situated within Rome itself. The Vatican City, with a population of 900, is the smallest sovereign nation in the world. It covers just over 100 acres, but [...]
WALKING THE SAME STREETS AS JULIUS CAESAR ONCE DID
After the Colosseum, we headed to the Roman Forum. Between eras of rule by kings and emperors, the Roman Forum was where the first senate and republican government held court. Today, it is an archeological site of ruins, temples and royal residences that stretch back to the 7th century B.C. It is a confusing complex [...]
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!?
All roads lead to Rome and one of the city’s most iconic buildings – the Colosseum. Built around 80AD, it once held over 50,000 spectators who came to watch the best in Roman entertainment. You could see gladiators fighting, wild animal hunts with exotic species like tigers and elephants, or plays being performed, and even [...]
THE WORLD’S MOST MYSTERIOUS SODA VENDING MACHINE
There’s a Coke machine on Capitol Hill with a history that’s just as mysterious as what’s inside. It has been around for at least 30 years, and still no one know where it came from or who restocks it soda! It’s within earshot of the neighborhood’s new light-rail station and Broadway’s posh eateries and shops, [...]
RATTLESNAKE LEDGE
Hiking the easternmost point of the Issaquah Alps Washington trails are best known for their lush green forests and crystal blue lakes. The 4-mile roundtrip hike to Rattlesnake Ledge offers all this and more. This trail is pretty brutal if you are out of shape like myself. It is up hill all the way to [...]
THE GREEN THUMB
Plant Nite is a spinoff of Paint Nite; the concept was created by Dan Hermann and Sean McGrail, the duo that started Paint Nite. Plant Nite has the same core elements as Paint Nite, whereas the events are held at local bars and restaurants and are led by a professional, but instead of the activity [...]

RIP, ROARING ADVENTURE ON THE SKYKOMISH RIVER
To celebrate America, a bunch of my friends and I decided to go on a whitewater rafting adventure down the Skykomish River with Triad River Tours. "The Sky", as it is often called, is a beautiful and classic intermediate to advanced whitewater run that features several class 3 rapids as well as boasting the largest, [...]
FOLLOW THE “RED” BRICK ROAD
It goes without saying that Boston is one of the most historically rich cities in the U.S. I recently had the pleasure of visiting Boston for the first time. Naturally, I wanted to sightsee and discover some of the historic treasures that Boston has to offer. I was interested in seeing the places where American [...]
