Each year I receive loads of different birthday e-mails from restaurants, stores and travel-related companies.
Some of them offer some sort of deal- a free meal or dish with purchase, a discount on a purchase etc…
Others just send a creative birthday greeting, which is a nice gesture and can also be pretty cool… Continue reading Lufthansa, Thanks For the B-Day Wish!
Ever wonder what foreigners think of Americans or better yet, the United States as a whole?
While I have some ideas of what the generalized ugly American (while traveling or at home) might appear to look like, these ideas are usually just bad stereotypes. (To get some ideas, check out the post Worst Things Americans Say On Vacation.)
When I think of what foreigners might think of us, I’d probably guess loud, out of shape, entitled, rude and some other (not so nice) things along those lines. Continue reading What Do Foreign Tourists Think of U.S.
With Hanukkah beginning tomorrow evening and Christmas less than 10 days away, I’m running a bit late in sharing my picks and ideas for best gifts for travelers this holiday season.
However, it’s never too late to share some ideas and suggestions… Continue reading Best Gifts For Travelers, My Picks
Uber is teaming up with Goodwill in a Winter Clothing Drive to offer clothing donation pickups of “gently worn clothes” today, November 25.
I received an e-mail about this offer from UberNYC. The offer is available in three cities- NYC, San Francisco & Boston free of charge.
If I lived in Manhattan, I’d definitely be taking Uber up on this offer. Kim and I have quite a few bags of clothes to give away… Continue reading Uber Collecting Clothing Donations For Goodwill TODAY

I’m a big fan of Outside Magazine and Outsideonline.com. I recently subscribed again to the magazine (for free of course).
(I used some of my free FREE Spirit miles from their 1,000,000,000 miles giveaway over the summer. Check out my post about Spirit’s State of the Hate Report and find out a little about the promo. If you didn’t claim your share of the miles, you can still do so- a link where to go is in the post.)
Outside is great because they talk about all different interesting things- travel, sports, gear reviews, news and other topics related to the outdoors… Continue reading Bear, In NJ That’s What’s for Dinner…
It’s always nice to hear about the U.S. being respected and liked around the world but this doesn’t sound like the smartest plan…
When I think most about pride and respect towards America around the world, Kosovo is the first place that comes to mind. During our visit, we spent some time on Bill Clinton Boulevard and visited a square that has a statue of the former POTUS himself. (A post about our time at Bill Clinton Boulevard is long overdue.) Continue reading White House Replica Being Built In…
This has got to be one of the stupidest things I’ve read in quite some time…
A Steve Jobs memorial put up outside a college in St Petersburg, Russia back in 2013 has been taken down and the reason why is absolutely ridiculous. Continue reading What Does Russia Have Against Steve Jobs & Apple…
TripIt launched their first ever Traveler Personality Quiz so you can find out if you are a “thrill-seeker, beach bum, or one of the many other travel personalities”.
When I opened up this e-mail it made me wonder what kind of traveler I’d consider myself. I figured their quiz might be a fun way to find out what kind of traveler they’d consider me.
The best part of the quiz is that you won’t just find out what kind of travel personality you have, you’ll also be entered to win one of ten prizes! Continue reading Take TripIt’s Traveler Personality Quiz, Win A Prize
Earlier in the year I wrote about a couple of options to become the owner of your own town! Sounds pretty cool and what’s more impressive than saying you own a town…
There was a European town available at the bargain basement price of $0 although it would certainly cost a small fortune to bring it back to live-in condition. If you are more interested in staying close to home, a town in the U.S. was going for a cool $1.5 million. This one came with a general store along with some other buildings in better shape than the one in Europe. Continue reading $800K To Spare? Buy Your Own Town
Back when I was in school I always excelled more in English & Social Studies than /Math & Science. I probably consider Social Studies/ History to be my favorite subjects.
While it’s been some time since I’ve been in school (even grad school for that matter), I’d still like to think that I’d do well with basic US history questions. Continue reading Can You Pass: Middle School US History Test
