    Words and Photos by John Domine

    It has already been a week since the 2nd Annual Akumal Arts Festival came to an end, drawing over 100 artists who painted nearly 150 murals in a small village in Mexico's Riviera Maya. But for me, the magic that was created there by beautiful people from around the world, sharing love with the local community, will remain in my heart for some time to come.

    I don't think I can fully articulate what a special place Akumal is or w...

    Out of all the places my travels have taken me and my family, one of my favorite cities is Kaohsiung, TW.  Kaohsiung is the second largest city in Taiwan and is about the size of Jacksonville, FL. Despite being small in land mass, it has a population of almost 3 million. The city is home to not only delicious food, but some of the friendliest people as well.  

    Just by looking at Kaohsiung on the map, yo...

    Growing up (and to this day), I was always a big board game fan. I played everything from Chutes & Ladders to Candyland to Hungry Hungry Hippos. And when we had 4-5 hours to kill, there was MONOPOLY! I had a love/hate relationship with that game. I liked the concept of trying to acquire the various 'properties', coveting BOARDWALK and PARK PLACE, and I got nervous attempting to avoid the game's pitfalls like "GO TO JAIL. GO DI...
