As much as I like to believe I’m aware of the world’s atrocities and doing my part to make things better, I know I’m very much a negative factor in many world struggles that I’m both conscious of and oblivious to. I suppose my hourly efforts go out to world education, but being interested in [...]

Today’s documentation of the travel and blogging world is a little slim but can plunge you into a lotta deep thought.

This post was written on my October 2009 cruise of the Mexican Riviera.
Lying on my stomach, covered in towels, face pushed through a terry cloth doughnut, I asked the woman rubbing hot stones on my calves what it’s like to work on a cruise ship. After swapping stories from the high seas and travels on [...]

This week’s outreach into the world of travel may pack a wallop for some of you eager to do something amazing.

We travel because it’s a rare kind of high that can also enlighten, rejuvenate, and ensure the occurrence of adventure. Regardless of the road’s discomforts or challenges, travel seems to always evoke an inexplicable positivity – whether that’s from the possibility of new friendships or just the newness of a myriad of elements.
The scope of [...]

I just felt like churning the butter for a couple awesome things this week.
Go, China, Go, China, Go!
Don’t speak. Don’t think. Don’t even type. Direct your attention below.

I’m a lover of travel narratives, which is why my first impression of this book, come three or four chapters deep, wasn’t yet rave-ish. David didn’t write a travel narrative taking place in the hypermetropolis of Mexico City/Federal District (D.F.); he did something better than that.
Working off twenty years of experience as an expat in Mexico’s [...]

Why The Low Points Matter
Once again, great work, Chris, in addressing an idea regarding a “perfect” trip with the necessary and realistic angle. He noted that no [...]

I’m at my Grandpa’s 90th birthday today. It’s a good day. Now let’s learn about what’s new in the travel and blog worlds.
Learning to Love the Digital Haters
I don’t think I’m evolved enough to truly love those that go after my passionate pursuits, but Tim Ferriss makes some solid points on reactions, time efficiency, and [...]

I’ll admit this off the bat: this week’s video post is all over the place.
Yes, it’s dedicated to the betterment of the self-taught skills, just like last week’s. Yes, it covers material from last year, this year, and calls for agency in yourselves! And yes, there are three videos this week. Just roll with it.

We rely on our bodies to work. That’s a no-brainer. Traveling on a budget often involves staying in a hostel, taking public transportation, and very commonly using your appendages to get from place to place. I have walked all over this planet, and I expect my body to continue [...]

This post was written by Annie Leroux.
I have wanted to apply for the STA World Traveler Internship for three years, but my timing was never right, until 2010. And when the application process commenced, my wall soon covered in post-it notes full of my constantly evolving ideas. I didn’t sleep for days. After submitting my [...]

Mom, Dad, and long time readers:

You’ve seen me struggle to satiate my passion for movement for over three years. I’ve blogged about this love of travel and my desire to get paid to live this lifestyle enough to make you and me both sick. It seemed like an impossible task, but I’m here today to tell you…I did it. My blog got me a dreamy travel job. Sincerely, Lindsay
