PIJAO Colombia Coffee Region

Guyana Raw Country worth visiting.

Jaguar Jaguar I am sure I saw a Jaguar! Recently on a trip I recall a Czech Birdwatcher who's only reason to visit Guyana was to see a Jaguar. Well he didn't. I did. (Not this puppy). The man was incensed and wanted his money back on the tour because he was promised a Jaguar. Oh well it seems a great photo is all most of us will ever enjoy. Gorgeous cat and I am not even a fan of felines. Guyana is still worth visiting and yes they do have Jaguars.

Chocolate Festivals in Italy.

A treat in October is the Chocolate Festival in Florence. These Festivals are held all over Europe during the period of the Chocolate.

La Paz The Past Present and Future

La Paz, Bolivia. A city to visit. Unique in it's landscape. Unique in it's people. Unique in so many ways and they are all part of the rich fabric of life. There is the Tourism area and the major boulevards, amazing diversity in food to be found as well as modern and old traditions mixed comfortably. I clearly urge anyone who has not been to Bolivia to make the trip.

Travelsapien Endorses - Kazakhstan 'Radioactive Jane'

Another great read from Hunter Blacke. This set of books always brings into the general line of the story almost a Travelogue look at the locations. This gives the reader an inside seat on the locations where they can identify with the Operatives, Spies and Assassins. Like it as a Travel Book. Sort of.

TRAVELSAPIEN ENDORSES - ARMENIA CAPER

 

 

Great read on Kindle Amazon. Having visited Armenia during the time this novel is set in I can attest to the fact the accuracy is amazing. As to the story I understand it is a creative licence in motion. Nice mix. I think this fits into a Travel Journal of sorts. Gives a time capsule look at a little country that went through some very difficult times. Congratulations to Armenia for making a super hero recovery.

The 2nd in the Hunter Blacke Chronicles just published. This one takes place in Armenia. Hunter hooks up with his old friends to unravel a plot to sabotage the games with cheating, manipulation, and deaths. Couple to this is another level of criminality with countries using the games as a cover to engage in covert Arms dealing. Throughout this mirage a new associate joins in to assist however they are very shadowy, clandestine, and brings a totally wild card to the pack. Good historical stuff included rounds out the reads as entertainment and somewhat educating about a country few know anything about. Definitely a Travelsapien recommendation to visit. Beautiful place.
