Aaron's Worldwide Adventures
I feel lucky to live in a great big city like New York. I mean, where else could I get to see such an amazing world-class fireworks display for the 4th of July (Independence Day for the USA) against a background of the Manhattan skyline? It’s been a tradition for years now to go and watch the fireworks […]
The Queens Garden-Navajo Loop Trail combination is the most popular at Utah’s Bryce Canyon National Park, as you leave the comforts of the ridge overlooking the Bryce Canyon Amphitheater and venture in and amongst the surreal hoodoos! The abnormal rock formations are unlike anything you have ever seen before, so I’d love to show off some of my […]
Hoodoo. It’s a word that I find to be rather amusing. Say it with me… “Hoo-doo.” Hilarious, right? If you’re wondering why I’m bringing this up, it’s because you’ll hear this word a lot if you visit Bryce Canyon National Park in the U.S. state of Utah. A mere 2 hours from Zion’s East Entrance, […]
Angels Landing. A mere mention of its name puts a twinkle in a hiker’s eye. It’s Zion National Park’s most famous hike, renowned for its dramatic location, jutting up in the middle of Zion Canyon, its views and the lore of its name. Almost one hundred years ago, a minister remarked that only an angel […]

For this National Park located in the U.S. state of Utah will leave you literally gasping, “Oh my God!” It sure did for me! After saying my goodbyes to my […]
Alaska. What pops into your head when you hear that? Wide open space? Truly epic, unspoiled natural beauty? Giant peaks? Glaciers? Those are all reasons I was so excited to visit Anchorage back in August, especially since I’m a huge fan of the outdoors and an even bigger fan of stunning natural vistas! So when […]
I’ve spent a lot of time in hotels. In fact, considering how much traveling I’ve done in the past 15 months, I’ve become a bit of a nitpicky guest. Few things standout. Outlet and TV placements become big deals. And lobbies are usually forgotten, sterile areas (which sometimes include parrots, but that’s another story). However, […]
Alaska is a stunningly beautiful place. It’s like one giant national park, but, unfortunately, really seeing it needs a car, especially if you’re based out of Anchorage, as I was during my recent trip there. What to do, what to do? No sooner had my buddy Teresa and I started talking about renting a car […]
