HI Travel Tales

HI Travel Tales

We are Michael Hodgson and Therese Iknoian, a husband-and-wife duo behind HI Travel Tales. Even though travel can sometimes bring challenges, our marriage remains strong, and we eagerly anticipate our next adventure together. As experienced travel writers and photographers, we steer clear of the influencer lifestyle—let’s just say no one wants to see Michael in a swimsuit! HI Travel Tales is all about inspiring meaningful travel experiences across the globe, focusing on immersive journeys. We aim to uncover the surprising and remarkable aspects of even the most familiar places. Our award-winning writing and photography serve as a guide for both seasoned travelers and those who dream of exploration. We also enjoy featuring stories from fellow travelers and have a growing community of talented contributors. Additionally, we have a playful collection of stuffed animals that we consider our family. Each one has a name and they often compete for the chance to join us on our next trip—Michael sometimes sneaks one into Therese’s bag when he thinks two should come along!

    Berkeley California’s world-class gastronomic scene makes the city a perfect base camp for Bay Area explorations. Come for eclectic culture, stay for great food and drink. In Berkeley, you can go from rubbing elbows with Thai monks over brunch on folding chairs to smoothing out a white napkin on your lap at a candlelit table. Everything goes – which has always been what Berkeley’s all about.

    Explore Gulf State Park, a beacon of sustainability in Alabama, and a perfect destination for anyone seeking nature, relaxed luxury, pristine beaches, and outdoor adventure. Coffee in hand, I sat relaxed in an Adirondack chair on the lawn in front of my luxury cottage, watching as sunlight painted the morning sky in shades of orange and purple.

    In sailing, there are three rules, we were told somewhat tongue-in-cheek:Don’t hit stuff. Keep water out of the boat. Come back with the same number of people you left with. I guess we passed our week as students on a Nautilus Sailing learn-to-sail liveaboard course in Croatia since we avoided crashes, came back with the right number of people, and water didn’t get into the boat (except what dripped off our bodies after a swim in crystal clear water). The liveaboard learn-to-sail week was fun, too.
