FURNITURE ESSENTIALS: A good bed

The image above is from Hastens Beds, Sweden’s oldest bed manufacturer.  They are crazy expensive, hand made and (from what I have read) the best bed money can buy.  If you’ve got the cash, you can check out what they have to offer by checking out their website here.

FEATURE: Cars NOT for men

If you are found in one of these cars, it should be because you are rescuing her after a traffic collision. There are some cars that were built for, marketed to, and focus on women.

FEATURES: Why Motorcycles are So Awesome (and Why You Shouldn’t Die on One)

I remember when my friend first said it, “Bikes are just so sexy, they look like they are moving even if they are standing still.”
For those that have never experienced the thrill of riding a motorcycle, it’s a pretty amazing experience.  No walls, no seatbelt, nothing separating you from the world around you.  With one [...]

DESTINATION: Africa

Africa.  Five minutes after leaving the Mala Mala airstrip, we are stopping the truck so a mother and baby giraffe can cross the road.  I am in awe of the raw landscape, the wildlife, and my accomodations.
