On the Company Dime: Making the Most of Business Travel
Whenever I hear people say “I’d love to have a job that that involves travel” I can’t help thinking: Why? I mean sure, if you were a guidebook writer, or a food critic, it would be awesome to be sent to various exotic locales to explore and stuff your face. But regular business travel is [...]
Continue reading...What is your Biggest Travel Disappointment?
1 March 2010
I try really hard to find the good in every place that I visit. Still, there are some place I’ve been, and experiences I’ve had which were just plain disappointing.

It’s frustrating. It’s an encounter with the unknown, the unforeseen and the unpredictable. It’s these exact same characteristics that make getting [...]

10 January 2010
When I talk about my experiences with non-travelers, the subject of hostels comes up often. I’m always surprised by how many people have never stayed in a hostel, and how many people aren’t willing to. It seems to be one of the hardest backpacking concepts for many to grasp. A hostel is an inexpensive lodging [...]

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.
