From the sandy shores of Tahiti to the leaning tower of Pisa, Zipto travelers have plenty to say about the places they've visited, and even those they haven't.

 April 14, 2009 - My latest desktop journey outside the US takes me to the very beautiful Caribbean island of Grand Cayman. But, as you can imagine with the current economic climate, my company sure isn’t sending me anywhere anytime soon, but hey- what else is new? Just because they’re not sending me to a supremely gorgeous beach on the company dime surely doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy some down time. Sometimes a little escape is just the trick when you’re feeling gloomy. Read More...

 February 23, 2009 - In my latest stationary exploration, the journey this time is to the third largest Caribbean island, Jamaica. As one of the few destinations I have actually been to, I can corroborate my Senior Product Manager’s story. Jamaica really does look like the postcards. As she’s gearing up for a vacation there next week and thus has “Jamaican Fever”, I figured now would be the perfect time to pick her brain. But as soon as I heard she was going away, I said, “Wait, wait, wait… this just sunk in. You’re going on vacation to Jamaica? But you go there like a few times a year for work already. Why would you want to go back on your own time? Aren’t you burnt out?” To which she replied, “Jamaica is the perfect destination. If you get burnt out, you’re not doing it right. There’s so much to do there, I’ll never have the ability to do it all.” It was in that moment that I realized she was completely right. Read more...

 January 24, 2009 - In my ongoing quest to explore the world beyond my cubicle, this time I find myself in Aruba. Well, not actually in Aruba but vicariously vacationing there through the descriptions of two of my managers. These two lovely ladies recently spent four sun-soaked days in Aruba and came back to report their findings. Just as I had suspected, Aruba turned out to be awesome and I turned out to be jealous.

 January 2, 2009 - Okay, so this travel blog assignment comes down the pike and the word around the campfire is that I’m going to interview people when they come back from their trips. It’s funny. I thought they knew that I wanted to see the sugar sand beaches for myself and maybe get a spa treatment and eat some gourmet food while I was at it. I can now look forward to hearing about the beauty of the Caribbean from my coworkers even more than I did before. They’ll watch me salivate as they tell me detailed accounts of amazing cuisine, adventurous excursions, beautiful architecture, fascinating culture and breathtaking sunsets. Awesome- can’t wait!

 December 5, 2008 - In an effort to try to satisfy the desire to have a legitimate job (and not be a homeless vagabond eating spaghetti every night) while continuing to chase the dream of seeing the world, I ended up working in travel almost two years ago. I know it sounds good, but in actuality, I’m sitting in my cramped cubicle right now without a single window in sight. It’s a place so depraved, that it gravitates from far too warm to freezing cold in the span of a single afternoon. I type away at my computer eight hours a day and fantasize about a life filled with the kinds of travel adventures my parents had in their 20s and I try to stay optimistic. The prospect that one day I too will see the world and experience all that life has to offer outside of this teeny, non- temperature controlled environment is out there, and it’s taunting me. While we’re on the topic of torture, get the nerve of this maddening new assignment that just came down the pike! Read more...

 November 21, 2008 - I’ve always hoped in my 20s to have the kinds of adventures my parents had in theirs. Growing up, all I heard were stories about how they would stay up into the wee hours of the morning planning their travels and then go to the post office and ask for their mail to be held until their return. They would just pack their bags and leave. Sometimes they were gone for months at a time with no fear, no worries about the consequences or repercussions of their actions. With that kind of history, it’s easy to see why I’ve had the travel bug since inception. Truth be told, I was conceived on a cross country road trip my parents took back in the early 80s, and thus began my journey as a traveler and free spirit. Read More...

 November 15, 2008 - Most people think that Tahiti and Her Islands is a romantic laid back kind of place. Actually there is so much to do and see that adds adventure, culture and fine eating as well as experiences that you will never forget. Tahiti and Her Islands offer so many different options that will fulfill all of your needs.
The city tours give you culture, history and beauty beyond belief. For adventure, Tahiti and her Islands offer everything from Catamaran rides to ATV adventures. One of my favorites is a visit to the Dolphin Encounter in Moorea. I recently watched a small group of people on this tour. They get into the water with the dolphins and interact with them as they are learning about them. The look on the faces of the tourists was pure amazement. Read more... |
