Learning to Love Being Alone
(Over the next couple of weeks I’m recounting ways that travel has helped me to learn about myself. For references check out my first article: How Travel makes us Smarter, Wiser and All-Around More Awesome) Here’s a story I don’t think I’ve ever written about before: Studying abroad in London was the first time I’d [...]

Tuesday, May 25, 2010
I like to travel for a lot of reasons; it can be really fun, it makes me feel more alive and I love meeting new people and exploring new places. There’s also another, deeper motivation I feel to propel myself around the world: I feel like it makes me better. The constant flow of new [...]

Warning: this post is ranty… Last week I wrote a post about how much I love the online travel community. And I really do, but every once in awhile (actually it seems to be happening quite frequently lately) I come across a certain kind of blog post that really rubs me the wrong way. These [...]

Tuesday, February 23, 2010
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 [...]

Sunday, January 31, 2010
I was at this claustrophobic little bar near Farragut West a couple of months ago. A rather portly young man was trying to chat me up in the typical DC way (where are you from, which branch of the government do you work for, etc. etc.). All quite dull until he asked me what I [...]

Today’s post is the last in the five part series on Argentina by Alex Pollack. For more of Alex’s writing be sure to check out his personal website. Thanks again Alex for your great insights! Saturday. The sun falls in watercolors over the mountains, mountains I see only in shadows through the tint of airport [...]

Sunday, December 27, 2009
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 [...]

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 [...]

Tuesday, November 10, 2009
A few weeks ago I got in a discussion with a good friend living abroad about some personal problems she was experiencing. After a thorough analysis she sighed and told me “it’s really true, no matter where you go, there you are.” While long term travel might seem like a way to escape the troubles [...]
