Merrilee's International Trip Logs & Travel Information

Operating the Newport International Hostel keeps Merrilee very busy, but during the winter months she loves to pick up and travel to farther off places. Typical tourist spots are not generally on her agenda. Go beyond the beaten path and gain a more in-depth look at the places and cultures she visits. Merrilee writes about her adventures, including photos and tips along the way in her travel blogs.


Merrilee is currently traveling through Panama and possibly Colombia (during the winter of 2012). Her blog address for this journey is www.ZellnerTravel2012.wordpress.com

 

Panama – a country where the spectacular 50-mile long Panama Canal connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, where pristine beaches, forests and remnants of a vibrant colonial past abound. Colombia? Stay tuned!


During the winter of 2011 Merrilee traveled throughout Argentina. Her blog address for this journey: www.Zellner55.wordpress.com.

 

Enjoy her journey as she discovered the rich culture and beautiful lands that lie within Argentina's borders. Enjoy Merrilee's journey, tips and photos on her travel blog.


During the winter of 2010 Merrilee traveled through Northern Africa and Israel. Her blog address for this journey: www.ZellnerTravel.wordpress.com

 

This three month adventure started in January with Merrilee as a "budget" solo traveler in Morocco. When her travel companion Jerry joined her, the "budget" travel style went more upscale for a few weeks. Hostels made way to hotels, and eating in public markets changed to dining in restaurants. But adventure was still lurking around every corner – getting lost in the souks of Morocco, cruising down the Nile and exploring Jerusalem's walled city.
