A night in a Brooklyn warehouse via Airbnb

Airbnb opens up so many unique options to find a place to live in a new place that it’s really hard to ever consider staying in a hotel again.

How Limeade worked on Kilimanjaro

When I was climbing Kilimanjaro, I carried my fitbit with me on the 9 day climb. I broke a lot of steps records on this climb – averaging 20k steps every day.

Last week weContinue reading “Kayak 11 miles from Seattle to Kirkland and back”

Recent regulations limit the number of people who can be on the trail to just 500 aContinue reading “Hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Pichhu”
