Off to Bali

My honeymoon officially begins tonight, as I depart Portland and head off to meet Nick in Bali. My wife Carrie (that feels weird to say) and I have never been to SE Asia and are very excited to travel somewhere new, especially a place that is known to have good food. Nick said we [...]

Here is a good picture from my bachelor party. It’s me taking a leap of faith, off Sports Illustrated Rock, a 75 foot jump into the Rogue River.
For those of you curious about why it’s called “Sports Illustrated Rock,” apparently SI did a story on cliff jumping in Oregon. I find it hard to believe [...]

Although my wedding is still about one month away, my bachelor party begins tonight! Instead of doing the typical bachelor party, I am going to head off with a group of my good friends and raft a 40 mile section of the Rogue River, over the course of the next 3 days.
For those of [...]
Backpacker Safari
Date: July 20th, 2004 | No Comments
Two BootsnAll members recently returned from Tanzania on a safari that BootsnAll helped organize. I recently did an interview to find out more about their experiences, such as watching a cheetah stake out a warthog.
Check out my Safari Interview.
Kilimanjaro & Safari
Date: July 15th, 2004 | 3 comments
I just finalized a trip with two girls off to Mt. Kilimanjaro to, get this, snowboard on the glacier at 20,000 ft. It should be interesting, especially since it’s pure ice. I guess they are trying to snowboard on every continent in the world, regardless of the conditions. You tend to see a lot of [...]

Just received this message from our clients who completed their safari in Tanzania.
Hi Donovan,
Clive here! Just got back-everything was great, saw all the animals we wanted to (well, nearly, no rhinos!) and the food was lovely!
Will write more when we’ve showered and stuff, but don’t worry, it was all good.
Thanks again for sorting all [...]

One of the things that tends to happen when I talk to people about my job at BootsnAll is the, "Oh, you're so lucky!" moment. I do consider myself extremely fortunate to be able to write about travel every day - to do something I love so much that work doesn't feel …

Those of you who read the BootBlog may remember my recent musings on how online friends become real-life friends. What some of you who read that article may not know is that I heard from several BootsnAll members after it was published who said, "Yeah, that's interesting and all, but we've been doing that for years now." And it's … [Read more]

Awhile back I posted here about getting into the Boston Globe Travel Show for free. Turns out that was for the trade conference during the day on Friday Feb 19th, not the travel show for regular consumers like you and me that runs from the evening of Friday, February 19 to …
