The Lost Girls: A Review

Tuesday, May 11, 2010

Having a blog is kind of like falling in love. You wake up one morning and suddenly you can’t remember what your life was like before you spent every waking moment thinking up travel articles. What did I used to DO with all that free time (I mean, besides laundry, which I’ve been neglecting to [...]

Do the Thing that Scares You

Tuesday, February 23, 2010

40 Comments

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about why so few people actually make their travel dreams reality. Anyone who is a frequent traveler knows the common refrain from others of “I wish I could do that!” To which I always answer that you can. For some reason people don’t seem to believe this. A lot [...]

It’s All a Crap Shoot Really

I was talking to a close friend the other day about whether or not he should quit his job to travel. He has a good job for his young age and a solid career plan, but he still toys with the idea of giving it up. “I just don’t want to be thirty and have [...]

I spent a little over a month backpacking around the Western Balkans last summer, and it is an amazing, often overlooked, chunk of Europe.

There are people who love to plan, and people who don’t. While I admire the fly by the seat of their pants set, I definitely fall into the planner category. For me the initial stages of planning a trip: deciding where I will go, learning about the history and culture, anticipating all the delicious possibilities [...]

Yellowstone in Pictures

Yellowstone, with it’s rainbow of hot springs, sputtering geysers and steaming charred earth is the strangest place I’ve ever been. The entire park is actually situated over a giant supervolcano, which is the cause of the zany geothermal phenomenon that dot the area. It’s also a place of great natural beauty, beautiful lakes, rivers and [...]

Notes From the Home Front: Anticipation Fatigue

Now that I no long benefit from school breaks and spend my summer days in a gray windowless cubicle summer really doesn’t appeal to me very much. In Washington DC these oppressive sticky days seem to stretch on indefinitely. I’m fairly certain it’s been August for at least five, maybe six months by now. The [...]
