Tweet I have said for quite a long time that if I ever make any real money, I will live in Italy. I might be talked into Spain or Portugal also, especially if its near the water. And Croatia has a deep place in my wanderlusting heart. But I simply love everything about Italy. It [...]

Interview with Andy Hayes, a.k.a. @andrewghayes: Lucky 13 Questions
Tweet Andy Hayes is someone that I have be following for a while, but until I sat down and listened to him speak at TBU Innsbruck last summer, I didn’t know he would be one of my gurus. Andy is my newsletter guru. I had known for quite a while that I needed to set [...]
Bette, Freddy, Madonna, Louie, Joe… a Show of a Lifetime
Tweet An celebrity impersonation show combines nostalgia, campiness and hilarity. They are a fun sing-along and also a gentle laugh-at, all for the price of one ticket. I am not sure I’ve ever been to a impersonation show. Wait, I take that back. I do remember stumbling into a transvestite drag show years ago in [...]
Jerusalem, the Most Historical City in the World?
Tweet Jerusalem simultaneously confounds and amazes. In the list of “Cities Unlike Any Place Else,” it has to be right up near the top. It has been a few months since I was there and I still really don’t know what to think. I spent two weeks there in Feburary and can only feel confident [...]

Tweet I could use a little help — and will hopefully not only make it easy for you to do so, but also give you a nice incentive to do so. Its time for me to do another giveaway. I did one when I started my newsletter. It is time for another one… I am [...]

The interface for posting photos is simple (basically download an extension/add-on to your browser and right click on images you want to pin to one of your [...]
Interview with Geraldine DeRuiter, a.k.a. @everywhereist: Lucky 13 Questions
Tweet Geraldine is a Twitter friend. By Twitter friend I mean this: we’ve never met, we’ve never spoken on Skype or a regular phone, and until we exchanged emails for this interview, I don’t think we’ve really even emailed each other, at least not in any long, substantive form. Our friendship (so far) exists in [...]
The Short Tale of an Idiot
Tweet That idiot would be me, of course. Earlier this year, I was in Amman for about a month to prepare for and then conduct a social media training seminar for a group of people in the travel industry in Jordan. It was a great chance to work with two of my favorite bloggers and [...]
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]
