The Genius Idea of Stopovers in Warsaw
Normally I aim to spend anywhere from two to three hours between connecting flights at international airports before moving on promptly to my final destination. In the adventure my wife and I undertook, we had a stopover in Warsaw of a whopping seven-and-a-half hours **during the day**. There is no way any airport is so good to spend that much time there during the day, so we were definitely going to see the city. But was it worth it? Could we see something and get back to our connecting flight without being frazzled?

10 Years Since... Snowboarding
10 Years ago I had my final ride in Freeride snowboarding, the sport I had given much of my early adulthood too, I had reached a semi professional level, sponsored by a European freeride snowboarding company, and I spent the most of my winters touring across Europe to compete in the Freeride World Tour.

"Kartveli" Performance
My niece and I went to see this performance on December 20, 2025. Kartveli is a young Georgian folk group that created a wonderful program sampling dances and songs from various regions of Georgia ("Kartveli" means "a Georgian person," both in terms of the geographic origin and identity, the umbrella term covering many different ethnic groups calling Georgia home).

Hiking Long Distance in Europe
Cinque Terre is a rugged portion of coast on the Italian Riviera, Liguria, and sets hikers on a route through picturesque Italian seaside villages along the coastline of the eponymous national park and UNESCO World Heritage Site. You’ll enjoy the lovely towns of Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. It is best to hike between the towns on foot. The Blue Trail connects Riomaggiore in the east with Monterosso al Mare in the west. There is some breathtaking scenery along the way.

Winter in Finland is ...
At this point, I swear the rain’s developed a personality. It hits the window every morning as if it owns it, as if I asked for a six-month subscription to Rain Unlimited. The Sun shows up for five minutes to remind me it exists. Quickly it disappears like it has better places to go, which, frankly, it does.

A Walk Among The Trees
I am alone amongst the trees, feeling calm, enjoying the breeze, the floor is covered with gold and brown leaves, and everything feels good. These trees sway in the wind, they have not a care in the world, and that feeling is passing itself onto me, like bathing me in a beauteous calm of friendship.
