Obtaining a ticket for World Cup match of USA vs. England, was not just about patriotism or believing in the outcome, it was also about having something else I highly value – having fun.

A World Cup memory and a Reminder to Believe
by Craig Zabransky on June 16, 2011 in Adventure Mindset, Destination, Reflection
As I watch the CONCACAF Gold Cup, (soccer tournament) I recall the magic of last June. I recall the world coming together to watch soccer, recall witnessing South Africa continue to heal through sports, and I recall believing I’d see USA play a World Cup match. When my tour through Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia and […]

by Craig Zabransky on May 9, 2011 in Reflection, Sunset Sunday
Last Mother’s Day Sunset Sunday I published prose a daughter wrote for her mother. A tribute. This year, again, I want to share a special moment. This time it’s one of mine. On March 4th I didn’t sleep a wink. Actually, I didn’t sleep again till the afternoon of March 5th – thirty-six hours plus. […]

The Czech Republic and the Christmas Stone
by Craig Zabransky on December 24, 2010 in Destination, Reflection
The sun rose over the horizon as the bus started to navigate the city streets. I entered Prague fatigued by the overnight ride from Brussels but yet full of energy and excited to learn more about my heritage. The splendid city famed for adoring architecture, romantic boulevards, and pilsner beer also contained the roots of the […]
