Safe Traveler: Northern India

http://safetraveler.blogspot.com/2013/01/northern-india.html

Tuesday, January 1, 2013. I traveled by train from Delhi to Jaipur where I intended to conduct research for my new book. Fortunate enough to meet Juber, a 20 year-old rickshaw driver, I was able to travel the region in relative safety and with a friend to translate for me. He quickly became a trusted companion, and I learned much from him about life in India. Please take a minute to view this video montage of my trip - put to music and posted on Youtube:.

Safe Traveler: March 2009

http://safetraveler.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

Saturday, March 21, 2009. This is an area of Mexico that I'd always wanted to visit, but I wasn't feeling the love for the big resorts of Cabo. San Lucas. For that reason I chose to begin my journey in the older (and slower paced) San Jose del. I ducked in to a little hotel on the main Avenue Zaragoza. And was given the choice of a basement room for $9 US or a top floor room with a deck for two dollars more. I splurged. From there I set out by bus to the Pacific coast town of Todos. Is a large coastal ci...

Safe Traveler: San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

http://safetraveler.blogspot.com/2010/07/san-miguel-de-allende-mexico.html

Monday, June 15, 2009. San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. If I were the type of person who goes on first impressions I would have probably ordered the driver back to the airport long before arriving at San Miguel de Allende. And I would have missed one of the truly wonderful vacation spots in all of Mexico. The two lane road from the airport in Leon was treacherous at times, intensified by multiple car passings that amounted to something between a game of roadway chicken and liars dice. The picturesque town ...
