View Photos for: Dubrovnik

The Pearl of the Adriatic does not disappoint, and I cracked its oyster shell with some awesome Gonzo action, including sea-kayaking, ATV riding, free climbing and running, and good old fashioned warfare. But while the views are spectacular and the adventure quotient high, victory belongs to the beard trimmer. Click on the thumbnails for more info.

View Photos for: Vis, Hvar and the Blue Adriatic

Island hopping on Croatia’s Dalmation Coast is like an episode of Lifestyles and the Rich and Famous, only I felt like the production assistant cleaning Robin Leach’s soiled jockstrap. Still, the views are spectacular, the vineyards bursting, the Roman towers charming, and the water, oh, praise be the turquoise! Click on the thumbnails for more info.

View Photos for: Slovakia to Croatia’s Dalmation Coast

We start with virgins celebrating midsummer’s night in Krakow. Then it’s off to the capital of Slovakia, Bratislava, with its charming streets and goofy public art. A long train journey passes through 3 countries to drop me off at the Roman Palace of Split, although by now I am far more interested in the turquoise waters of the Adriatic.

  • Flying Doctors and the Migration of the Wildebeest

    This week in East Africa, I discover two sides to a coin. The luxury, beauty and exotic wildlife of the ultimate safari, complete with butlers, five-star tents, and the migration of the wildebeest. In Nairobi, a different story, as I take to the air with the Flying Doctors, participating in a medical evacuation, and seeing the human cost of violence. This is Africa, and there is nowhere else like it.

  • Heat, Dust and Dirt Bikes in Egypt

    The traffic, chaos and 3000 years of bureaucracy take their toll, but I manage to Belly Dance over the Nile anyway. After clocking in at the pyramids, it’s off to the Sinai to rock the desert by ATV, dirt bike and dune buggy. Egypt has stayed much the same since my last visit 16 years ago. I haven’t.

  • A Revolution in Cuba

    Plenty of thoughts about this controversial island in the Caribbean, where tourists are herded into all-inclusive resorts while the songs of Revolution still stir. When you add a large group of journalists, expect something in the middle in this gonzo-fuelled rant about the beating heart of change.
