Many of you have been asking for more information on the beautiful Natalie Bahadur, with whom I frequently travel.
Well, here’s your chance to learn more.
Natalie works for a big media company in Canada and in addition to her writing articles and blogging for popular
girly websites, she has now created her own blog -- mostly about her travels -- called TrendyTravelista.com. It’s only been up for five weeks but her traffic has grown exceedingly quickly and her recent post on Things to do in Tel Aviv was just picked up by
AOL so they are now linking directly to her stories. If you want to find out more on her latest travels, tastes and trends, be sure to check it out daily. It’s mostly geared towards women but my male friends and family love it and she doesn’t miss a post -- unlike me!
This 17-year-old southern California adventurer is quite the world traveler. Get this: he’s been sailing around the globe in a 36-foot boat all by his lonesome and blogging about it along the way. Zac is attempting to become the youngest sailor to circumnavigate the globe and he’s expected to complete this feat next month back home in California where he started almost a year ago. I just read his post from Costa Rica where he’s currently located.
A plane spotter near the airport on the Caribbean island of St. Barts took this video. Because St. Barts has such a short runway, it’s considered one of the most dangerous airports in the world and after you see this shaky video, you'll see why. What’s amazing is how fast the emergency response team got to the plane.
There’s an iPhone application for almost everything including one for if you're stung by a bee!
Last week, we featured a 99-cent airport traffic controller game, which was a big hit. This week we have one that’s even better – not only because it’s free but it’s more geared towards travelers. The app was created by
MedjetAssist (more about them here in my recent
Alabama story). This app is for anyone who’s interested in having comprehensive first aid information at their fingertips! It’s genius, regardless whether you're traveling abroad or going for a hike in your backyard. The content is stored on the phone and you aren’t dependent on a data connection! The first-aid techniques covered in iMedjet's application come complete with cross-reference hyperlinks between categories, situational descriptions and various technique illustrations. The techniques range from what to do in the event of an airway obstruction to treatment of stings and bites from various marine-life to burns. It also offers mobile medical information storage. This portion of the application is useful not only to the user but can
also provide vital information to doctors and emergency professionals in a crisis. Sound interesting? Visit the iTunes App Store and search for iMedjet.
