Travel is an Investment

Someone whom I’ve always looked up too, who is now on the ultimate journey, always said travel was an investment. I’ve always taken those words to heart and do so every opportunity afforded to me. I literally am ready to leave on a moment’s notice. I will drop everything.. Funny bc I was just thinking of him today and all he had taught me and this meme popped up… Thanks Ted, I don’t think you ever realized it…...

Using the Hopper App to Save Money on Airfare

This is geared to budget travel… personally, I like to stay in nice hotels, etc… the amenities of the plane are lower on the priority list. I’m reserving my 1st and business class budget for a long haul trip over 12 hours… i.e Sydney, Hong Kong, etc. There are tricks for those classes of service too so you can get the most for your dollar. Below is an overview of the big money you can save by scheduling...

Watch “Heathrow Airport “POD Cars” – From Heathrow’s Terminal 5 to Business Car Park B” on YouTube

I’ve always been fascinated with the United Kingdom. It started when I was a kid upon learning that my family (on my paternal side) originated in Lancashire, which is located in  Northern #England. Though on my mother’s side I had a different heritage, it was the English I most related to.  I’m really not sure why. It may have been my exposure to  everything British when my mom and step dad were stationed in Berlin. They had a...

Traveling the World on a Budget – Berlin , Germany

I’m very analytical on everything I do…   so it’s no surprise that when I travel,  I try to get the most for my money.  After all,  the extra money I am giving to the airlines could be working to make me additional money on my marketing endeavors…. Yes,  everything unfortunately has a cost.   More specifically,  everything has an opportunity cost.  What am I giving up by spending more on a ticket?   What am I forfeiting...

My Review: $149 Cheap Flights – Berlin, London, Amsterdam, Brisol and other European Destinations Via Reykjavik, Iceland

With flights to #berlingermany $1600+… flying through #iceland looks like a viable alternative… the price reflects one free carry on.. otherwise it’s $67 per bag. Plus you get to add #reykjavik as somewhere you’ve visited.. albeit in the airport. #wowair A photo posted by John Higginbotham (@jhigg1) on Nov 26, 2015 at 10:02am PST I was excited to find out about Iceland’s WowAir offering service to Europe, specifically Berlin.   There are few if any choices when it comes...

Met someone interesting over the weekend

I have always been fascinated with far a way places. One of the top places on my bucket list to visit is Australia.  I find the entire continent very interesting. My fascination with Australia started at a very young age in elementary. I remember studying it and just really being drawn. Ive studied it quite a bit to never have actually gone there…  Admittedly,  I have learned  more than anyone reading this would care to know. I’ve met...

Missing Hawaii – Mokolii and Chinaman’s Hat

Video of Me at Chinaman’s Hat – LOVE this place! One of my favorite places in Hawaii is a small, quiet park on the Windward Coast called Kualoa Regional Park.  There is something magical about the place and away from the hustle and bustle of Honolulu.  It is a short drive from Waikiki over the mountainous Pali Highway.   It is almost like you entered another country (a country within Hawaii,  because the islands themselves are nothing like I’ve...
