I own 72 t-shirts. I’ve always been a t-shirt collector. Band concerts, festivals & trips have all added to my collection. I’ve gotten rid of several t-shirts that I stopped wearing years ago, but I’ve still got a remarkable amount that I regularly wear. What am I going to do with them all while I’m …
Whew, that was a mouthful! What’s this all about? Well, you may have noticed a new box in my side column (look to the right if you’re viewing this on its native site). I’ve got a Facebook Fan page now (become a fan if you please)! Fan pages are a useful thing to have if …
I can’t believe I’m posting this publicly. I am now officially an Internet dork. Below is my video entry for the Win a Free 2 Week Trip to Costa Rica contest from Nomadic Matt & Gap Adventures. I figured it’s worth a shot and I’m just barely making the deadline (it’s amazing what you can …
Work Sucks! Be Calm. When I was uploading photos from my semester at London, I came across this poster I’d seen at the Tate Modern. It’s a listing of 10 commandments on how to work better (from the artists Fischli & Weiss). After a week like this one (needless to say, work was tough …
There are a lot of reasons to travel. I didn’t know why I should travel until I made this list.
It’s about time I did this! Check out my new Travel Links Directory. I’ve tried to include the various RTW travelers, travel writers & travel blogs out there that I’ve been reading and interacting with these past few months. Hopefully you’ll find it a useful listing of the web’s best travel sites. I also included …
Alright. I figure it’s about time I released my tentative itinerary for my adventure around the world. It’s all very up in the air, right now, but I want to get something out there and start getting feedback. I’ve already decided I’m not purchasing a RTW ticket but will instead travel overland where possible & …
I take too many photos. And you probably do, too. I’ve got photos of my Converse sneakers, photos of my hands, photos of signs, of grass, of fences & of animals. I take photos to remember objects, to remember new friends (long since forgotten), to capture a moment. To get a different angle. I don’t …
Why terrifying? Well, first of all I’m quitting an excellent job, selling almost all my stuff and then packing my life away into a backpack for a trip around the world. If that’s not enough to scare you, then call me uncle. Oh wait, I’m going to be an uncle, too. Obviously this year’s going …
Alright, so in an attempt to fully take advantage of this social-networking-blogging-21st-century thing, I’ve jumped on the StumbleUpon bandwagon (probably later than most, but hey, you gotta start somewhere). It took me a few days to fully figure it out in between work & life & etc., but I think I’ve got a decent grasp …
