My travel memoir - Two Laps Around the World
Check out my travel memoir - Two Laps Around the World: Tales and Insights from a Life Sabbatical. It's about the experience my wife and I had when we decided to take a few months off from our careers to travel. The experience was so incredible that we repeated the experience less than three years later and so ended up traveling around the world twice - once in each direction. You can read more about the book here.
My blog - Travels in the Riel World

Other writings about cross-cultural and travel topics
In addition to travel stories and opinion pieces, I've written numerous articles and training manuals about business cultures around the world. I'm also a former newspaper reporter. My website includes links to some of these other writings.
Travel photos
In my travels around the globe, I've taken many photographs. You can see some of them on my Flickr page.
Life sabbaticals and round-the-world travel
Interested in knowing more about these topics? I've taken two life sabbaticals (or career breaks) and two round-the-world trips, so I've written an overview of both subjects and included a few ideas and resources to get you going. You can read about life sabbaticals on this page, and learn about round-the-world travel here.
