Time to meet two of my favorite people and favorite bloggers, Pete and Dalene (not Darlene, a mistake I made once… once) Heck of Hecktic Travels. Given the nature of travel blogging, it is a relatively rare time when I can say that I met the people I am interviewing, but in this case, I [...]

Trip Advisor Is Better Than Your Guidebook
I used to love guidebooks. On my round-the-world journey, I actually started the trip with three of them weighing down my backpack — the Lonely Planet backpacker guides for Central America, South America and Africa. This was in addition to six other paperbacks I starting off carrying. I have a slight book addiction. Although I [...]
Zagreb, Croatia — Unexpectedly Cool City
During my summer in Europe last year, I spent about two weeks in Zagreb on three different occasions. I was holed up in Croatia for about a month, because I was wanting on a passport expediting service back in the States to get my Russian, Chinese and Vietnamese visa.

Voice for Radio and a Face to Match
Radio is one of my favorite media formats, both to listen to and also to appear on. In my past lives, both in politics and law, I have had plenty of opportunities to be interviewed by print, radio and television. Radio is simply just a lot of fun. As the saying goes… voice for radio… [...]
Jet Lag Hell
“This is why I travel overland. I am an overland traveler. I am an overland traveler.” Laying in bed, I repeat it over and over again, as if it will solve my current woe. There are plenty of reasons I prefer traveling overland as much as I can. In fact, I am in the midst [...]
About the author
I am a former attorney from Arkansas who took off in December of 2008 to circle the planet with no reservations and without leaving the ground. Sixteen months later, I succeed. I am writing a book about that journey as I continue my travels around the world, looking for adventure and odd modes of transportation. Feel free to email me at: [email protected]
