Wing-walking on a biplane in the Olympics | Washington

Wing-walking on a biplane in the Olympics | Washington

Ever since I saw a post by a travel friend of mine, strapped outside a rusting red biplane plane, arms stretched – while the plane seemed to be in the middle of a roll, it had me intrigued. It seemed straight out of a James Bond or an MI stunt scene!  I figured the stunt is better known as wing-walking, and that one of the handful of wing-walking schools, is right in my backyard near Seattle. After a few email…

Flying over the majestic Misty Fjords in Alaska

Flying over the majestic Misty Fjords in Alaska

Tucked away in the southern part of Alaska, Ketchikan is a tiny little town. The first Alaskan town to be established during the Gold Rush, it breathes of a lot of history, a fact which is not missed when you walk along the tiny Creek Street.

Navigating through Alaska’s glacier filled fjords

Navigating through Alaska’s glacier filled fjords

Calling Seattle home has numerous perks for an adventure enthusiast, one of them being it’s proximity to the final frontier, Alaska. I had visited Alaska a few times during the late spring and summer time, and loved exploring different parts: from the wilderness of North-Western fjord in the Kenai peninsula, camping in the Denali National Park to the amazing Alaskan museum in Anchorage. However, this time around I wanted to visit during the early fall-season. I landed in Juneau on…
