Abby Tegnelia has led one of the more unusual and interesting last half decades of anyone I know. From working 80 hour work weeks in major U.S. cities like Las Vegas and Los Angeles, to dropping out of the fast lane for an extended stay in Costa Rica, to coming back stateside and sliding right in as the editor of a successful and important magazine focusing on Las Vegas.
As she says on her site, Nerd’s Eye View, let’s meet the nerd. I “meet” Pam on Twitter, when I dove into a discussion/argument that she was having. I didn’t realize at the time, but thank the lord that I was on her side. And I never wish to be […]
I think I might possibly get in a small bit of trouble with Wiley. I’ve been good about not talking about how fortunate I am with my current residence situation in Grenada, at least regarding his company’s name, since I don’t want to get him in any trouble. When I […]
Keith has one of the best travel blogs out there and one of the most interesting travel plans that I have heard about in the last few years. Somehow he has got his wife to agree to let him take nine one-month trips, starting now and finishing at the end […]
So, as I told ya’ll last week, I have been incredibly lucky and landed in a pretty great spot here in Grenada for a few weeks, on account of my travel buddy, Wiley. Thought a little update, with some photos might be in order. I have been on Grenada for […]
Gary is an icon in the fairly recent booming travel blogging community. He has been traveling and blogging around the world, since 2007, which makes him the grizzled veteran of this community.

As you read this, I am in route from Bogota, Colombia to St. George’s on the island of Grenada. This whole trip came together on Sunday, October 24th and five days later, I am on a couple planes (yes, I feel like a traitor to my overland travel roots) to […]
Recently, I was interviewed by a few different fellow travelers and bloggers, but really enjoyed the off-beat questions of April of ZipSetGo. So I was sitting around having a few beers a couple nights ago and though to myself — I want to know a little bit more about some […]
Quick post note — I think the last picture is the best, but had to put it down there so that the sidebar didn’t interfere. Hope you make it down to it. North of Auckland, New Zealand is an area of the country that does not get enough credit as […]
On the west side of the South Island of New Zealand are two glaciers (20 kms to the north lays Fox Glacier) that are unique in the world, in that they descend from the Southern Alps right down to almost sea level, and peter out in lush, warm, temperate rainforest at that level.
One of the tools that I have become a lot more familiar with in the past few months for driving traffic to your blog is StumbleUpon. Here are some Stumbleupon tips to effectively to get more traffic to your website. Basically, StumbleUpon is a social media tool whereby you can […]
I fear I have become a junky. From a mild dabbling a while back, to my now almost-constant desire for another hit. Few days — hell, few hours — go by when I don’t crave a fix. It has progressed beyond mere desire; it is a need. A compulsion. A […]
