Notes From the Home Front: I Need A Kick in the Pants
I have a confession. I’ve been procrastinating. Just a few months ago I was so excited about planning this trip! I had spreadsheets, word documents and a pile of highlighted guidebooks. I had information compiled, opinions stockpiled and a calendar with a big red X on it. I was gung ho and ready to go! [...]

Tuesday, April 20, 2010
Travel, like dating, is an exercise in possibilities. A thrilling rendezvous with a new city is all about getting to know each other, searching for a common connection. Do I like how this place makes me feel? Could I see myself, working, playing, and living here? Could I make a long-term commitment? It’s a game [...]

Sunday, February 14, 2010
So I’ve been planning to take this round-the-world trip since last June, but it only occurred to me around January that I should probably start PLANNING this round-the-world trip. I was then faced with a decision: how much of this trip needs to be planned out? And how? Obviously I will need to plan ahead [...]

Tuesday, February 9, 2010
If I were to sum up Belgrade in one word, it would be “gritty.” After an amazing couple of weeks in elegant Bosnia and relaxing Montenegro it was a shock to the system to be dropped in the center of hot, urban Belgrade. Also a shock: I’d encountered my fair share of bombed out buildings [...]

Sunday, January 24, 2010
I know I can hardly believe it either. Part of me feels like I just sat down to start writing about my experiences, my hopes and my unsolicited advice. Another, bigger part of me can’t believe that I’ve only been doing this for half a year. Taking up blogging felt so natural and right. It’s [...]

Tuesday, January 12, 2010
As soon as I saw the fortress I began to regret my decision. Whoever had named this a “hill” was a master of understatement. Thick snakes of rock winded ominously around the steep, rocky crag. Built in 535 by the Romans, the rocky fortress must have been bed-wettingly terrifying for any would-be conquerors. Now I’d [...]

Tuesday, December 15, 2009
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 [...]

Sunday, December 13, 2009
Spending the holidays away from home can be one of the most difficult aspects of long-term travel. Whether or not you are religious, the holidays are a time for tradition and family togetherness. When you are far away from the familiar it can be very easy to start feeling lonely and sorry for yourself. I’ve [...]
Continue reading...I Still Love London
Sunday, December 6, 2009
Even if you’ve only been paying minimal attention the past couple weeks, you can probably tell that I am a huge London person. Our love affair began on my first trip abroad at 15 years old. Later I returned to study Victorian literature there and after graduation I came back to work there. The city [...]
