My Ticketmaster Trauma
We all know and love the most anticipated concert of the year (or should I say two years now). The Eras Tour, quite frankly, turned the world upside down and gave Taylor Swift a new level of fame I didn’t even think was possible.
Glasnevin Cemetery, Dublin: Honoring Ireland’s Freedom Fighters
This summer was one to remember. In between planned trips to Dublin and a rainy day in Killarney, we allocated time to simply drive the back roads between Dublin and Cork and see what we came across.
Talking Travel with Victor Dandridge
Recently named Fan Engagement Specialist for FAN EXPO, “the hardest working man in comics” Victor Dandridge expects to work even harder. As his moniker indicates, he is used to that. In fact, Dandridge wouldn't have it any other way.
Cousin Time
About a month ago I traveled to Portland to enjoy a reunion with my cousins from my mom's side of the family. We've stayed in touch over the years (mostly through Facebook and Christmas cards), but a few I hadn't seen for a decade or more. All of us had grown up on the West Coast, but scattered across California, Oregon and Washington, we mostly got together on summer vacations and during the holidays.
Funny Travel Moments
If you have read an issue of Global Traveler lately, you’ll see we like to ask travel executives and leaders to share a comical travel experience in our One on One interview column. Well, in the office the other day I was sharing this completely unbelievable, can’t-make-this-stuff-up kind of story with the team, so I thought I’d share it as a comedic travel experience just as we ask in our interviews.
Walking in Nassau
I just returned from a windy weekend aboard Celebrity Cruises’ Reflection on a quick three-night cruise to the Bahamas.
Maggie Rogers at Wells Fargo Center
On Tuesday I got to cash in on the birthday present from my parents to see one of my favorite artists, Maggie Rogers, on her Don’t Forget Me tour. Both my girlfriend, Brena, and I are huge Maggie fans, and we have both seen her twice before (separately in 2019 and together last summer), so we knew it was going to be a great show.
A Culinary Journey at Bourbon Steak: A Night to Remember
Nashville is known for its music and hospitality, but during my recent trip this summer, it revealed itself as a gastronomic gem. My hosted stay at the JW Marriott Nashville set the stage for an unforgettable evening at Bourbon Steak by Michelin star chef Michael Mina. Bourbon Steak is a restaurant that promises to delight the senses with high-quality cuts of American beef, Kobe beef, Wagyu, and a 360-degree view of Nashville skyline from the 34th floor.
