This is pretty funny … someone came to my blog today to find out whether the poop of glow worms glows.
The answer is no – that’s because glow worms don’t poop. The glow that they make is their form of excretion. But rather than just launching solid or liquid waste, it converts the leftover matter [...]

Segway Appeals to Unholy Trinity of Geeks, Tourists, Mall Cops
Hey, remember the Segway? Yeah, the allegedly stable, upright, non-polluting, quiet Go-Kart for big people? It was supposed to make walking a thing of the past (as if we need a reason to be lazier).
Well, pause … NOT!, as Borat might say. In fact, there seems to be only one sector in which the Segway [...]
Help Animals While on Vacation – Utah’s Best Friends Sanctuary
Few things get me down more than a sick or hurt animal. But few things get me cheering quicker than people who help animals in need. Travelers who help animals, then, really rank high up there for me.

My Best Zorbing Tips for Beginners

Belize – The Right Destination for You?
The cool thing about Central America is that just because you’ve seen one of its countries, you haven’t seen them all. It might be natural to assume that Belize would be like Costa Rica, but with more Mayan ruins. It would also be completely wrong.
So is Belize worth visiting? That depends on you, traveling friends, [...]
S.P. Crater Easy to Overlook, Impossible to Forget
It’s easy to forget or to never even realize it – but much of northern Arizona’s landscape was shaped by fire. Or by lava, if you prefer a more precise word.
Volcanoes disgorged magma onto the surface, forming everything from towering giants like the San Francisco
Peaks to the loaf-like dome of Mount Elden to the mysterious [...]
