30 Photos That’ll Make You Want To Visit Iceland

Fresh from a week in Iceland with Gray Line Worldwide, I got a chance to go through my photos and picked out a bunch that hopefully will inspire you to visit the beautiful island country.

When planning the trip with Gray Line, I of course made sure to include the Blue Lagoon on my list of to-dos, and to see different national parks, waterfalls, the glacier and other natural wonders Iceland has. Some surprises to me were the unique horses, the amazing food (hands down the best dairy I’ve ever had), and how cool the black sand beaches were.


Adventure Hard, Sweat Hard: Staying Protected With Old Spice’s Hardest Working Collection

Old Spice’s latest product line shows how the American brand has grown into an iconic grooming brand over the past 80 years, and how it continues to evolve. The new Hardest Working Collection product line reportedly offers the most powerful Old Spice anti-perspirants and body washes around, and ties in the male population’s growing desire for performance and being active. The collection consists of the new Odor Blocker and Sweat Defense anti-perspirant/deodorants and Dirt Destroyer body wash, and I took the collection for a spin in two different adventures the past few weeks: the lushful and sunny oasis of Panama and the rugged, unpredictable Iceland.

Life Changing Latin American Destinations To Visit In Your 20s

It’s been quite a busy few weeks and I’m finally getting a chance to breathe! After visiting Panama for the first time just before my birthday this year while on a fantastic trip hosted by Superfeet (photo diary to come soon!), I realized how many different parts in Latin America I’ve gotten to visit and how it was wonderful to visit them while in my twenties. With that in mind, I got to write up a round-up story for AskMen of destinations south of the U.S. boarder that would be great for travelers to visit before turning 30 if they could.

The Best Things to Experience Onboard a Carnival Cruise

Just before the holidays, I joined a few other bloggers as part of a Men Who Blog trip to experience the Carnival Sunshine ship. We journeyed on an eight-day cruise through the southern Caribbean with stops Aruba, Bonaire, and Grand Turk with days at sea to experience all the ship had to offer. This was my first my cruise as a grown up, with my previous cruise adventure being one when I was a young teen (about a decade ago since I’m still a twenty-something). After flying into Fort Lauderdale from Westchester, going on the bus shuttle to the dock, and checking into the cruise, my adventure started.

While there’s literally dozens of things to do, see and experience onboard a Carnival ship, these were my personal favorites: Read the rest of this entry
5 Cool Things About Mexico City

How Hard Work Pays Off for Travel-ful Life (In Partnership with Don Julio)
“Work hard with honesty. Never judge anybody.” These are words to live by for a life of happiness, earned success and to help further explore one’s passions such as travel, photography or other life pleasures. I heard this expression in a video about Don Julio González, the man behind the well-known Don Julio Tequila brand that he established in 1942, and I can’t get the messages out of my head. This video is inspiring and uplifting, but also very picturesque that it will make you want to visit Mexico and the agave fields. The clip (which you can watch below) was shared by Don Julio Tequila in honor of Dia de los Muertos and has me reflecting on what I’ve worked for that sets me apart: being a travel journalist and blogger.
