Learn the basic language when you like to travel to different countries… Spanish will help in Spanish countries.
Then, communicate with locals as much as possible off the beaten track…
You will be surprised what secrets for activities, festivities, restaurants and so much more you may discover, which are hardly ever in tourist brochures.

Forex: Thanks much!

Catherine: We tend to remember intense people, flavors and experiences, don’t we? If I could park with some intensity, I might be able to find my car a little easier later!

Mark: I know you’ve had many “above crowd level” experiences. Which is why I enjoy reading about your travels so much!

Thank you, JJ, and congrats on yet another book!

An interesting way of putting it – well said. I love the idea of the escape and adds to the memory of these special locations.

Rainfield: We have similar philosophies, I think. Your solitary hikes allow you to notice details that most would miss.

Suzanne: I’ve read that when you commit something to video, the video version becomes the memory. Other details somehow fall away from one’s mental access. The deliberate gathering of the moment seems the best way to create a lasting memory. (And WOW! You have some terrific moments worth keeping in that list!)

Graham: …which is part of the attraction for me! I’m a much better hiker than shopper!

Thank you Donald! We’re mutual fans, huh?

Cecil Lee: Good to hear from you! And thanks! If a scenic spot is easy to get to, you can almost always count on a crowd. While I DO enjoy people watching, I’d rather do that at an airport!

Well said. I practice yoga, and found myself really loving difficult hikes lately, because it does force you into the present. Enjoy your blog.
