The visitor, one would hope, should be the most affected by the experience in a learning context But of course the visitee will also be altered through the meeting. From economics to social interaction, travel has made the world smaller and more interwoven. - [My Time as a Muslim](https://2me.travel/my-time-as-a-muslim/) - 1992 was definitely my last religious year. Up to that point my exposure to religion was reassuringly sterile. At age 14 I had dipped my toe into some fundamentalist Bible group (partly because of a girl), but that was short lived. My Irish father had been scarred by an abusive Catholic education and those stories - [Mother Earth and Covid](https://2me.travel/mother-earth-and-covid-2/) - These are unusual times. Certainly the first quarantine / lockdown of my life, although it is well worth reaching back in time to understand the role of pandemics in human history. The Bible references plagues (though I admit to not knowing where) and the bubonic (black) plague has echoed through centuries – it took 200 - [The Darien Gap – Contraband and Smuggling](https://2me.travel/the-darien-gap-contraband-and-smuggling/) - It has turned out to be an adventure, but not perhaps the jungle trek or island hopping adventure I had hope for. After exploring the region as best I could, I went early to the peer to take a boat through rough waters around the point of land that separates Colombia from Panama (on the - [Food & Drink in the Canadian Rockies](https://2me.travel/food-drink-in-the-canadian-rockies/) - As a guide and tour operator, so many questions I receive are food related. The Twomey Brothers enjoying a wine from the Twomey Cellars in CalforniaThere is always bias in taste and I certainly have my preferences (I prefer thin-crust pizza, light cheese and always order steaks medium-rare to rare), however, my culinary view of - [September Newsletter](https://2me.travel/september-newsletter/) - A warm hello from a surprisingly hot Banff We have not sent out a newsletter for some time, but we know you follow us on social media! That noted, it is time to connect with this wonderful community and let you know about what is coming up. Over the last couple of years, 2me Travel’s - [Sawadee-krap – from Thailand!](https://2me.travel/sawadee-krap-from-thailand/) - Golden Buddha Rather than a cold, snowy Christmas break, I managed to sneak out of school a few days early to experience an entirely different climate in Thailand. But my journey to this tropical, hot, wonderland has sadly come to an end. Our time in Thailand has been both relaxing, and educational. I learned about - [Dead Dogs and Trash – Daily Life in the Peruvian Highlands (Cusco)](https://2me.travel/dead-dogs-and-trash-daily-life-in-the-peruvian-highlands-cusco/) - This was the first blog I wrote from Peru…. It was written in ‘real’ time. I do not want to change it, but obviously want to point out I no longer live in Peru and Finn has grown! At the time I was working on a project for a Canadian-funded agency. The project was interesting (on - [The White Hell – El Infierno Blanco (the Highest City in the World), La Rinconada, Peru](https://2me.travel/the-white-hell-el-infierno-blanco-the-highest-city-in-the-world-la-rinconada-peru/) - I have been travelling to Peru on and off for 10 years and, as luck would have it, those ten years have coincided with this country´s longest sustained period of economic stability and growth in modern times. Inflation is relatively low and PromPeru is actively promoting the country to investors. On paper, Peru is doing - [Batman gets me home – Vuelvo con Batman in Cusco](https://2me.travel/batman-gets-me-home-vuelvo-con-batman-in-cusco/) - Here in Cusco, public transport is private, hectic, often crowded and dirty – yet it is outstandingly affordable and wonderfully democratic! While on a bus travelling to a soccer game about 20 km´s south of Cusco, everyone was running a little late (… a common feature in this part of the World), so the driver - [LAN – Let´s Annul your Number](https://2me.travel/lan-lets-annul-your-number/) - Chile’s economic success is lauded around the world and its (private) national airline has reaped the benefits of good management, a stable economy and easier access to foreign markets. Indeed South America is taking off and none too soon. Poor terrestrial infrastructure, huge distances and massive elevation changes makes flying a natural form of transportation - [Manam Papi – Quechua Women](https://2me.travel/manam-papi-quechua-women/) - Manam, Papi. No es así “Women really do have the power, but it is hidden in the house …” or so I have been told in more than one South American country. Manam, Papi. No es así (no, friend, it’s not like that). Recently a young girl in El Salvador was charged with murder after - [Being Popular – Populismo](https://2me.travel/being-popular-populismo/) - It is hard to imagine descending from 5000 meters (17000 feet) to 2800 meters (10000 feet) in roughly an hour, except perhaps by air. Well, not only is it possible, but almost magical. And that is La Paz, Bolivia. From the closest peak of the Altiplano at 5500 meters (over 1700 ft), the view is incredible. - [The Highest City on Earth: La Rinconada, Peru](https://2me.travel/the-highest-city-on-earth-la-rinconada-peru/) - So, hmmm, I have a lot more to say and a lot more to write about La Rinconada – the world’s highest city, but what I have to work through, is how terrible, horrible and exploitative it is / was, is just not quite the hell we were expecting. Notice the altitude (over 5000 meters). - [Peruvian Reflections – OR Reflecting Upon Peru OR The Good, The Bad and The Ugly](https://2me.travel/peruvian-reflections-or-reflecting-upon-peru-or-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly/) - The Human Development Index (HDI) places Peru 76th overall in the world. This conclusion is drawn from a matrix of important general indicators such as health, education and wealth. I think this is fair. Out of roughly 200 sovereign states in the world, the Peruvian people have an above average quality of life within a - [The Highs and Lows of the Americas – The Andes to the Mississippi](https://2me.travel/the-highs-and-lows-of-the-americas-the-andes-to-the-mississippi/) - After spending the first half of 2014 high in the Andes I have recently been lucky enough to experience the extremely low lands along the shores of the southern Mississippi.

Fully admitting I had no idea of the museum’s existence, it would almost seem synchronistic to come upon such a relevant institution so soon after contemplating tolerance in my latest blog. - [I Love Watching You Play](https://2me.travel/i-love-watching-you-play/) - Playoffs are exciting! And in Canada, hockey playoffs have the added fun of ushering in spring and the culmination of months of dark early morning practices, long drives to games and nagging injuries that may sideline crucial players. It has also been replete with nagging parents and the ever-looming promise of the NHL. Who knows - [Next voyage: Colombia via Bogota](https://2me.travel/next-voyage-colombia-via-bogota/) - On March 22 I fly through the USA to Bogota, Colombia’s capital city. This is primarily an adventure and product development trip. I have only been to Colombia once before, in 2010, when I was invited by the government of Antioquia (Medellin) to discuss tourism development near the Panamanian border (Re: Darien Gap). So as - [Australia](https://2me.travel/australia/) - In less than a week I will be going to Australia with my mom to visit family. It will be a lovely trip, but also not surprising since this will be my 8th trip Down Under! Finn Twomey – photo by Graham Twomey Normally I have travelled to Tasmania, but on this trip we are - [Peruvian Cuisine](https://2me.travel/peruvian-cuisine-2/) - Peruvian cuisine has become famous around the world. It is known for ceviche (basically raw fish in vinegar), trout, alpaca and cuy – guinea pigs! anticucho de corazon (heart kebabs) While I lived in Peru I tried a lot of delicious food and some not-so-great food. My tastes changed over time but my favourite dishes - [Australian adventures- On my way to Australia](https://2me.travel/australian-adventures-on-my-way-to-australia/) - You hear a lot about climate change these days, but I’m getting ready for mega climate change. I’m headed for Australia! Finn and Patrick On Friday I’m going to Mount Norquay – a nearby ski hill to carve some turns and take some jumps – and then on Sunday I’m heading to rock it out - [Early Morning Conversations- Australia and Lorikeets](https://2me.travel/early-morning-conversations-australia-and-lorikeets/) - Today I woke up at 3.45 in the morning with jetlag, but it didn’t bother me, interestingly. I lay in bed listening to the early morning chatter of the rainbow lorikeets, a super colourful little parrot that eats the seeds on the palm trees in my Uncle’s front garden. They were having a very excited - [Reciprocity](https://2me.travel/reciprocity/) - This is a bit of a touchy subject. Reciprocity or an eye for an eye as some biblical phrase reads always has its supporters. From the death penalty to boarder fees there is always an underlying populist cry for equality of punishment. During the last number of years, many South American countries have introduced reciprocity - [My Sporty Mind](https://2me.travel/my-sporty-mind/) - Even though I have been eating a lot and a lot of yummy foods like mangoes, passion fruit, guava juice, rasher bacon and ice cream down here in Australia, I still have my sporty mind. I have been swimming 2-3 times a day and even though my Uncle’s pool is not very big I still - [The Ups and Downs of Central Colombia](https://2me.travel/the-ups-and-downs-of-central-colombia/) - So… Wow. Aside from volcanic rock, the rest of the environment is so green as to almost assault the senses. From bird to plantations this country is alive and feels very wild. 40 + years of rural civil war has resulted in rather developed cities, but poor inter-urban infrastructure. People still talk in lower voices - [Spring Break Camping in the Desert of Utah](https://2me.travel/spring-break-camping-in-the-desert-of-utah/) - By Helena Artmann. Photos by Crista-Lee Photography Photo by Crista-Lee Photography Two weeks of spring break and a seven almost eight year old at home. What do you do? I go camping! The plan was to go to Squamish, close to Vancouver, for a camping/climbing trip. Two days before leaving I got a phone call - [Beach Life](https://2me.travel/beach-life/) - Handstanding in Australia Visiting Australia is so much fun! My favourite parts of Australia are their beaches, the surfing and fishing. The fishing goes one of two ways – one is catching tons of fish or two is catching nothing. Both ways are lots of fun because the scenery is amazing and if we catch - [Drugs, Prostitution & the American Dream](https://2me.travel/drugs-prostitution-the-american-dream/) - I expect I will continue to think about Darien for some time. It is quite easy to understand why a road has not been punched through to Colombia. The harsh jungle forms a natural barrier against smuggling in all forms. For those of us from a privileged life, it is hard to imagine conditions so - [Cuban-American Relations: Feel the Thaw](https://2me.travel/cuban-american-relations-feel-the-thaw/) - Panama just hosted the Summit of the Americas April 10-12, 2015 and although there were presumably many subjects on the agenda, the headline grabber was indisputably the opening of relations between Cuba and the USA for the first time since Castro’s communists ousted the American-backed dictator, Bautista in 1959. Cuba’s socialist dictatorship survived the economic - [Back Home](https://2me.travel/back-home/) - I am home safe and sound after an amazing vacation – and very long flight – to Australia and my dad’s frightening experience in Panama. It is a good thing to come back and visit my friends and have some ‘boys time’ with my dad before he leaves for his next trip to Central America. - [Welcome to the new Twomey Travel (2me Travel) blog!](https://2me.travel/welcome-to-the-new-twomey-travel-2me-travel-blog/) - So why we have changed our format after a month? The explanation is easy and that’s why we are writing this blog. Twomey Travel uses WordPress as our Content Management System. As many of you know, WordPress offers hundreds of thousands of templates and it is a hard work to find THE one. Our soft - [Panama](https://2me.travel/panama/) - Much like a vulture, the contrived country of Panama looks like a bird of prey with a shiny head and two vibrant green wings in full span. Split in half. The canal feeds the vulture and its appetite is insatiable. Panama is the nexus between two continents and two oceans. Once a province of Greater - [Boom, Boom, Pow – Chile is Alive](https://2me.travel/boom-boom-pow-chile-is-alive/) - “Why study plate tectonics, when you can simply live in Chile!” —My own quote … should be famous 🙂 Once again a Chilean volcano has let free the mantle’s fury. This round of ash and lava is letting loose near the resort town of Puerto Varas on the edge of Chilean Patagonia. The current aggressor - [The Real Equator & Sloths! Costa Rica](https://2me.travel/the-real-equator-sloths-costa-rica/) - Poas Volcanos near San Jose – I was incredibly lucky to see anything – it is a cloud forest ! La Mitad del Mundo – the middle of the earth, just outside of Quito, Ecuador is well worth a visit and certainly marks the equatorial line around our planet. However, due to the earth’s tilting - [The Montana Dinosaur Trail](https://2me.travel/the-montana-dinosaur-trail/) - The Museum of the Rockies is a very interactive museum. It took me a while to find the time to write the continuation of my trip to Utah, but I am back with some interesting facts about Montana. We spent one night in Bozeman, so we could visit the town next morning before heading north. - [Viva la Revolution! Nicaragua is Safe… And Very Hot…](https://2me.travel/viva-la-revolution-nicaragua-is-safe-and-very-hot/) - The Nicaraguan flag (as one could guess) It has been several years since I was last in Nicaragua and, like many academics of my generation, Nicaragua has always been more of a concept than a tourist destination. In 1979, the left-wing Sandinistas overthrew the truly oppressive Somoza regime leading to Reagan’s support for the Contras - [Dear El Salvador, I am trying….](https://2me.travel/dear-el-salvador-i-am-trying/) - As the smallest country on continental America you are, of course, interesting. With 6 million people crowded around five active volcanoes, your fairly lush, tropical landscape is dramatic and active. I have now twice passed through the ‘hammock’ region where the earth swings with tectonic movements. Friendly armed guards – with my Scottish friend, Fred - [The Heart of the Mayan World – Guatemala, Hope and an Era of Peace!](https://2me.travel/the-heart-of-the-mayan-world-guatemala-hope-and-an-era-of-peace/) - Among all of the countries of Central America, Guatemala is the most populated, most diverse and culturally the richest.

I live in - [Deep Blue: Oregon’s Crater Lake](https://2me.travel/deep-blue-oregons-crater-lake/) - Volcanoes have been a distinct theme during my recent travels. When I saw Crater Lake National Park on my current itinerary I was of course happy, but perhaps not enthused after just flying away from Central America’s huge number of magnificent volcanos. I whole-heartedly apologize to Crater Lake and the State of Oregon for doubting your spender! - [Sleepless in Seattle](https://2me.travel/sleepless-in-seattle/) - There was a time when airlines would offer the shortest route between two places but our voyage to Jamaica involved a 11 hour layover in Seattle! This was just long enough to go into the city centre, so I tried to make the best of our limited time there. I talked to friends and searched Google to find what to do - [A Nugget of Truth: Seattle’s Story, The Klondike, Cascadia and American History](https://2me.travel/a-nugget-of-truth-seattles-story-the-klondike-cascadia-and-american-history/) - For there are strange things done in the midnight sun, By the men who moil for gold… —Robert Service (The Bard of the Yukon) Seattle’s Space Needle Located at 319 Second Avenue South, near Pioneer Square in lively Seattle is a ‘unit’ (i.e. an outreach point) of the US Park Service. Limited signage always leaves - [Come Visit Peru With Me!](https://2me.travel/come-visit-peru-with-me/) - As Peru is a passion for me, I put together what I consider to be the ideal itinerary – and I added the option of the Inca Trail.

To that end, I fully expect to be leading a custom, small-group tour - [Springtime in the Rockies – or June, July, Winter!](https://2me.travel/springtime-in-the-rockies-or-june-july-winter/) - This morning I went mountain biking along the trails at the Canmore Nordic Centre. I was surprised not to see any snow or even any skiers (aside from roller-skiers). Of course there is still snow in the mountains, but when biking around I realized the snow is really gone! Because winter is so long here, - [Pan American Toronto – Where the World Really Does Live!](https://2me.travel/pan-american-toronto-where-the-world-really-does-live/) - In Toronto new always meets old!

But on this trip we passed right through a forest fire. Receding Glaciers on the Western Rocky Mountains 60-70% of BC’s massive territory is mountainous. Its dignified - [Boycott Saudi Arabia](https://2me.travel/boycott-saudi-arabia/) - Boycott Saudi Arabia Support human rights and end the arms trade with religious fascists. Raif Badawi Deserves to Live The backward and abusive Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is again making clear its views on free speech.

This may well kill him. - [Don’t Say Ruin – Inca Culture is Alive (Cusco, Peru & Machu Picchu)](https://2me.travel/dont-say-ruin-inca-culture-is-alive-cusco-peru-machu-picchu/) - The so-called Lost City of the Inca’s, Machu Picchu (MP) is so indisputably Peru’s most iconic attraction that suggesting anything to the contrary is simply argumentative. I have actually sat in meetings discussing tourism legislation (which remarkably, does not really exist in Cusco) where ‘de-Machu Picchuisation’ was actually discussed as a way of furthering tourism - [You Can Help Save Wildlife! Fight Poaching](https://2me.travel/you-can-help-save-wildlife-fight-poaching/) - Just the other day, my uncle Graham and I went looking for salamanders.

Oregon’s beer culture is - [Donald Trump’s Hate Crime](https://2me.travel/donald-trumps-hate-crime/) - *This article was written in 2015, before Donald Trump was elected president. The recent attempt to overthrow the US government simply seems the inevitable culmination of years of hate-mongering, lies and outright racism. The emboldened crowd was populated by conspiracy theorists, white-nationalists (i.e. racists) and overt anti-Semites. This craziness is somehow justified as 'free-speech.' Well - [Oregon Vacation](https://2me.travel/oregon-vacation/) - Finn saying goodbye to Windells I have just finished a great 10 days in Oregon. We drove all the way down from our mountain town of Canmore, via BC, Idaho, Washington and around Mount Hood.

Falling from 8000 ft – How did we survive! Well, we actually survived because it really is not very dangerous. And we don’t fall. The recent article from the CBC about a Daredevil Climber is the sort of fluff that denigrates - [Revealing Intolerance – Canada is NOT FULL](https://2me.travel/revealing-intolerance-canada-is-not-full/) - As can be expected, the recent humanitarian crisis in Syria elicits many emotions and perhaps some serious debate. Of course it has also opened a platform for bigotry, intolerance and pure racism. Sadly, the focus of this particular article is alarmingly close to home. The manager of a hotel in Banff National Park felt it - [I’m not a racist, but ….. (Je ne suis pas raciste, mais…)](https://2me.travel/im-not-a-racist-but-je-ne-suis-pas-raciste-mais/) - Canada is in the dying days of a painful and tiring national election. With a small and extremely diverse population spread across the second largest sovereign land-mass on earth, speaking to – and on behalf of – all Canadians, is undoubtably difficult.
