What You Must Do in Morristown, Indiana a.k.a Mayberry! (You won’t regret it)
Posted on 13. Feb, 2011 by Guest Poster.
Usually I get guest post offers about all sorts of exotic destinations. This is not one of them, and I couldn’t resist some variety. Sometimes the mundane can be pretty interesting… Have you ever driven through a small town like Mayberry and wondered who in the world lives there or wonder what it would be [...]

What Not To Do While In Greece
Posted on 18. Jan, 2011 by Guest Poster.
I giggled out loud when I read this post in my inbox. Even if you don’t have first hand experience with booze cruises, or Australian boys, hopefully you can appreciate it as well. Many years ago, when I was but a young lad I was prone to doing very stupid things. One of the stupidest [...]

The Dos and Don’ts of Keeping it Classy in the Gold Coast
Posted on 21. Dec, 2010 by Guest Poster.
The response you might receive when asking about the Gold Coast would generally involve anything except for being classy. Surfers Paradise, schoolies and parties galore have turned the area’s reputation into something a bit more sinful, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing (sinful can be fun), but when it turns trashy – that can be [...]

The Four Stages of Living Abroad
Posted on 31. Oct, 2010 by Guest Poster.
Anyone who has spent a lot of time abroad knows that living abroad is so very different from backpacking, with it’s own joys, opportunities and challenges. Christine Fisher explains: When I prepared for my first extended stay abroad, I daydreamed about all the travel and exploration opportunities ahead of me. I planned the logistics, arranged housing and [...]

7 Reasons to Escape the Gringo Trail in Paraguay
Posted on 10. Oct, 2010 by Guest Poster.
The Cinderella of South America, Paraguay has suffered greatly at the hands of her sisters. She lacks the flamboyance of seductive Brazil or the class of stylish Argentina. Without the beautiful beaches of the former and the rich culture of the latter, there is seemingly little to offer even the most hardy of Gringos and [...]

Posted on 12. Sep, 2010 by Guest Poster.
The other week when I was suggesting things to do while waiting to travel, exploring your hometown was a big suggestion. Stacy is really living out that idea while she waits to leave for her round the world trip: “There’s so much to do in this town,” we’ve all said at one point, “but I [...]

What’s it like to WWOOF?
Posted on 08. Jul, 2010 by Guest Poster.
I like today’s guest post, by Lindsay Nicholls, not only because it is hilarious but because WWOOFing is something I’ve heard about but never had the guts to try. Never heard of it? Read on… As Ned and I washed the goat shit off in a cold mountain stream, I wondered what all the 18-35ers [...]

Missing New Zealand
Posted on 17. Jun, 2010 by Guest Poster.
Today’s guest post comes from Amanda Williams who blogs at A Dangerous Business. It really spoke to me because I know exactly what it’s like to miss a foreign country like it was a living breathing person. I often think of London like it’s a lost love, and I think many of us have somewhere [...]

Apothecurious
Posted on 10. Jun, 2010 by Guest Poster.
I’m a big fan of today’s guest poster, Matt from LandLopers. His vibrant account of the medina in Marrakech has me dying to visit Morrocco. I can honestly say that I have never tried to find the closest apothecary. Drug stores, supermarkets, yes; apothecaries, not so much. Of course that was before my trip to [...]
