Towels packed, will travel. By towelspacked on July 29, 2015. This summer marks fifteen years since D first picked up a disc and started playing ultimate frisbee, a trajectory that has taken him from his New England college team to pick-up games in Spain and Costa Rica, tournaments throughout East Africa. And most recently the role of field captain for Moldova’s Flying Mamaligas. After an uncompetitive 10-0 victory over Gamble, a recently formed all-female team from Kyiv, the Flying Mamaligas regrouped a...

postcards from Transnistria | towels packed, will travel
https://towelspacked.wordpress.com/2015/08/03/postcards-from-transnistria
Towels packed, will travel. By towelspacked on August 3, 2015. The thin strip of Moldovan land on the left bank of the Nistru River holds an undeniable fascination for Western visitors, who long to see its still-venerated Soviet symbols with their own eyes. Even the prominent Lenin statue, which stands in front of Tiraspol’s Supreme Soviet building has a counterpart in Chisinau. The same sports director who had greeted D on his previous visit to KVINT. After the tasting, we walked around the center of Ti...

too hot to handle | towels packed, will travel
https://towelspacked.wordpress.com/2013/06/12/too-hot-to-handle
Towels packed, will travel. Too hot to handle. By towelspacked on June 12, 2013. The air, hot and thick like a woolen blanket, enveloped us as soon as we opened the car doors. It may have been close to 8pm, but the temperature at the aptly named Stovepipe Wells hovered close to 100 F. If we had jumped the gun in the Sierra Nevada. A few weeks before the official start of the tourist season, then we were definitely late to the party in Death Valley. Larr; the scenic route to Death Valley. Being a lover of...

Towels packed, will travel. By towelspacked on August 19, 2012. To Red Chilli Hideaway, Kampala’s most popular backpacker hostel, and claimed the last seats on a bus overflowing with eager tourists for the hour-long ride to Jinja. A version of this story will appear in the next issue of ArtLife. Nairobi folks, check it out! Larr; triumphant return to the seven hills. I think I would have been with your friend in the safety boat :). August 21, 2012. August 21, 2012. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. The views e...

https://towelspacked.wordpress.com/2013/07/17/the-end-of-the-road-2
Towels packed, will travel. The end of the road. By towelspacked on July 17, 2013. Like all good things, our trip too came to an end. After a full day in Big Sur. We arrived in Santa Cruz just as the sun set. The next day — our last in California — we drove up to San Francisco. S caught up again with Amira. We covered a lot of ground during our three weeks in California:. 14 — The number of national parks. 9,100 feet — Gem Lake. Is the lowest point we visited. Nearly made us wilt. On either side of o...

offbeat safari | towels packed, will travel
https://towelspacked.wordpress.com/2013/01/10/offbeat-safari
Towels packed, will travel. By towelspacked on January 10, 2013. More than any other place we’ve stayed, the Offbeat Meru. Because of its relative remoteness, Meru receives fewer visitors than other national parks and game reserves. Coming from Sandai. Before Solio, the last time we had been on safari. Was with D’s parents in September. Our self-drive success. Rekindled our passion for big game viewing, but even so we could not match the enthusiasm level of D’s sister, who at one point suggested a 4am wa...

quintessential Moldova | towels packed, will travel
https://towelspacked.wordpress.com/2015/07/31/quintessential-moldova
Towels packed, will travel. By towelspacked on July 31, 2015. We took our friend for trivia night at our favorite new bar. Had dinner at our favorite restaurant, and drove down to Tiraspol to give him a taste of Transnistria. On Saturday, we spent a lazy afternoon tasting wine — the most quintessential of Moldvovan tourist experiences. The hangup is that Poiana does not have a tourist-ready chateau or wine cellar like the bigger names in Moldovan wine ( Cricova. Too bad our Austrian friend was on his way...

Towels packed, will travel. How it all began. By towelspacked on June 9, 2012. May 29th marked our first wedding anniversary, which we spent on the white Seychellian sand far away from our computers. This past year has flown by with the dizzying speed of countless new adventures and experiences. Then again, our relationship had a bit of a whirlwind trajectory even before we got married and moved to Kenya. 8212; Photos courtesy of Whitney Fox @ emilie inc.

the northern frontier | towels packed, will travel
https://towelspacked.wordpress.com/2013/04/07/the-northern-frontier
Towels packed, will travel. By towelspacked on April 7, 2013. Turkana, in northwest Kenya, is a land of extremes. Scorching temperatures, intense droughts, and flash floods are the routine features of a difficult existence for the region’s pastoralist tribes. Believed by anthropologists to be the cradle of human civilization. The Lake Turkana basin remains virtually untouched by modernity – a kind of living museum that offers a rare glimpse into the way life was millenia ago. Larr; short, but slow. It...
