One of the side effects of writing this blog is that I’m constantly in the traveler mindset. I notice a lot of things that I’ve never picked up on before. I must have seen It’s a Wonderful Life a thousand times, but it never resonated with me quite the way as it did this past [...]

Okay, okay, so people are really interested in pictures of Iceland! I’ve gotten great response from my articles Iceland for Twenty-Somethings and Iceland in Pictures.

Today’s guest post is by Nancy Harder of Nancy the Gnomette. Like me, Nancy is a twenty-something traveler and writer. Unlike me, Nancy and her family lead a vegan lifestyle.

Tintern Abbey, originally uploaded by StephYo. I love ruins; the skeletal remains of the past never cease to capture my attention and imagination. I know I’m not alone in this, as the high arching remains of Tintern Abbey have captured the artistic imagination of  Wordsworth, Tennyson, and JMW Turner. (Do you have a photo you’d [...]

One of the first things I did when I began this blog is set up an interview with Alex Pollack, a college friend of mine and an awesome writer. Like me, Alex decided to go abroad after graduation (to teach in Korea), and like me, he caught the travel bug. This month, he’s taking a [...]
