An American in a Turkish Bath

August 12, 2012Filed in: Points of View by Tara Shubbuck

Female Turkish Bath

It was midday and I was sitting naked on the edge of a square marble countertop unsure where to direct my gaze. A topless Turkish woman held my left hand as she scrubbed the length of my arm with more vigor than I ever had before. As the two of us locked eyes, she forced Read Post

A Moment to Reflect

August 1, 2012Filed in: Points of View by Mike Shubbuck

Mike Relaxing on a Cruise in Turkey

Time has been passing by so strangely. In quick bursts, a week disappears; then the past few days have stretched out in what felt like a week. We haven’t had booze the past few weeks and I’m not sure when we’ll drink again. We’ve been lucid, yearning to tip back a beer or a shot, Read Post

A Rough Ride in Russia

July 30, 2012Filed in: Destinations, featured by Tara Shubbuck

Moscow, Russia

Everyone wants to know why we choose the countries we visit. Our reasons range from “it’s been on my bucket list” to “it’s cheap” to “why not?” Russia falls into the third category. I’m half Russian, from my father’s side, but I never had a strong desire to explore the country since my family doesn’t Read Post

Video: How To Stay Fit On The Road

Rejuvenating in Finland

July 21, 2012Filed in: Destinations by Mike Shubbuck

Tampere, Finland

Finland turned out to be the perfect location to recharge our bodies and minds. After two weeks of driving, hiking and pulling over at every point of interest we found in Iceland, Finland offered an opportunity to watch some soccer, defrost in the sauna and relax. The timing of our stay in Finland coincided with Read Post
