They Aren’t Just For Kids, Part 1

I'm not talking about Trix cereal. I'm talking about the Nakavika Project classes we've been conducting here in Fiji. Within the first week of teaching the children about English and hygiene/health, the young men of the village expressed their interest in learning what we have to teach. Classes with these boys ...

Street Smarts: Transport Scams

Walking around India with glowing blonde hair, parachute pants, and the backpack/daypack humpback/pregnant belly combo is a sure-fire way to indicate, “I’m not from around here.” What does this mean to the rickshaws slowly following your swagger or the cyclists hoping you’ll turn around and want their transport services? Some ...

Bracing for the Cyclone: Day 13

Various news publications reported Cyclone Mick as a battering, vicious storm, causing a lot of devastation to Viti Levu in December of 2009. BBC showed disheartening video footage of the aftermath.

About

Nomadderwhere is a philosophy:

It doesn’t matter where you are, it matters that you’re always learning and flexing with your surroundings, whether you’re traveling or stationary.

To capture this idea is to capture the art of travel, to know the importance of movement and to become self-aware, because you are the only constant in your world.

I grew up in Wabash, Indiana and moved away to seek a better education and broader opportunities, in the meantime managing to travel a bit in Europe to see and experience sights that shook my spirit: Danish lagoons, Italian communist music festivals, and charred German churches to name the obligatory three examples.

In college, I studied art. But during college, I learned more and grew more from going out on my own.Too many study abroad experiences bred an insatiable need to see and do everything under the sun. I had a quintessential Italian experience, sailed around the world with Semester at Sea and decided to prove myself with a solo voyage of self-discovery.

Two days after graduation from Indiana University, I left to travel the world for seven months. I came home more confused, more stable, and more determined to do the things that mattered to me. And as if this life wasn’t wonderful enough, I received the ultimate nod to be an STA World Traveler Intern for the summer of 2009.

I am currently working on the development of the The Nakavika Project in Fiji while writing freelance and offering knowledge in travel blogging and social media. Thanks for checking out Nomadderwhere!

Garrett Russell had his first taste of travel when he joined the Spring 2007 voyage of Semester at Sea, where he met Lindsay. Since then he has had the opportunity to visit Europe twice, bringing his country count to 23. But the outdoors have always called him back to his home country and state.

Currently residing in Vermont, Garrett is an avid skiier and hiker with a passion for outdoor adventure. With the upcoming winter season biting at his heels, his call to service has changed his mindset and brought his attention toward Fiji.

In the near future, Mr. Russell will be joining the Peace Corps to teach Secondary Science Education. He hopes The Nakavika Project will give him the patience and understanding to make his term in the Peace Corps a success.
