The Blue Dot Story

Every Dot Tells
a Story.

This is not a standard tour map. Each blue dot represents a place Robert Hughes has personally explored, experienced, and come to know intimately — from the hidden canyons of Palm Springs to the ancient streets of Istanbul.

Click any dot to discover the backstory, the behind-the-scenes knowledge, and the exclusive insider perspective that only a lifetime of travel can provide. This is the real Palm Springs. The real Southwest. The real world — as only Robert can show you.
