The Kingdom of Thailand is a country in Southeast Asia rich in culture and history, made up of 5 main regions. As a business traveler on a tight schedule, I was limited in what I could see and do within the constraints of my job, but I did find a few hours here and there […]

This Guy Travels to Kuwait

By Thomas Schmitt

This Guy Travels to Kuwait

Kuwait is yet another very small and very wealthy middle east country. It’s shaped like a triangle and is wedged in between Saudi Arabia to the south and Iraq to the north. Most of the world surely remembers the Gulf War, which was triggered by Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait. Since then, much has been done […]

This Guy Travels to Algeria

By Thomas Schmitt

This Guy Travels to Algeria

Algeria is a large resource-rich country on the north coast of Africa between Morocco, Libya, and Tunisia.  The Mediterranean coastline is a mix of sandy beaches, rocky shores, and sloping mountains overlooking it all.  The coastal geography and scenery is much like the southern shoes of France and Italy, though of course Algeria is much […]

This Guy Travels Back to the Middle East: Pakistan Part II

By Thomas Schmitt

This Guy Travels Back to the Middle East: Pakistan Part II

While visiting Pakistan, perhaps as a measure to counteract the propensity of bad press that the American media gives this country, I went out of my way to see and capture the people and places that were out of the way. No matter where I went, I was warmly greeted and made to feel honored and at […]

This Guy Travels Back to the Middle East: Pakistan

By Thomas Schmitt

This Guy Travels Back to the Middle East: Pakistan

Although not a very likely vacation destination, nonetheless, my trip to Pakistan provided countless opportunities for a first hand exposure to life in a culture vastly different than that of the USA.  For starters, it was striking to behold the diverse means of transportation that the local rural citizens used in their everyday lives.  Buses, […]

As promised I’m back with more great travel from the Middle East, Saudi Arabia. I will have to say that the McDonalds in Saudi rocks it with their McArabias and I’m growing quite fond of…..camels.

This Guy Travels to Saudi Arabia Part I

By Thomas Schmitt

This Guy Travels to Saudi Arabia  Part I

This morning I wake to the sound of heavy footsteps outside my bedroom door and I am reminded, once again, that I am not in the comfort of my own home, in my own bed. Not even close. I’ve traveled to a foreign land, one that I am beginning to know so well. I’m a […]
