Japan is one of those countries where even if you visit it as a pure tourist, you'll still get a lot of valuable experiences due to the fact that the culture permeates everything.

A few weeks ago my friends, Double Down, Dirty (yes, we call him Dirty), and I went to the last session of the Drink Craft Beer Spring Beer Fest. The theme this time around was hoppy beers like IPA's. Upon entering the Beer Fest, which was at Space 57 at the Revere Hotel in Boston,... Continue Reading →
This post is long overdue, but I wanted to make sure that I captured my trip to Khartoum, Sudan in a way that would do it justice. There is a lot that I've left out considering that I took over 400 pictures while there. That's more impressive than you might think considering that it's "illegal"... Continue Reading →
