A tsunami smacked me on the head last Tuesday, energy and activity in one exhausting wave, rendering me not quite unconscious but with twitching eyes and a crumbling mental capacity. And I don’t mean that in a bad way.
Since the dawn of this website, I’ve known a radiant being of 6′1″ stature and a high [...]

$10,000 and a trip to Bhutan. I’m so generous this week.
Getting Paid to Talk to Bourdain
I don’t consider myself a foodie, but I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the question Tony Bourdain posed to his fellow food-lovers.
What does it mean to cook well?
Coming from a sustenance culinary tradition, I’m not used to always eating [...]

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 [...]

My mind finally smells summer.
I’ve been away from Indiana for the past two summers and away from Wabash during the summertime since I moved away ten years ago. Having spent the majority of my childhood outside, I’ve been unknowingly pining for the familiar olfactory triggers, which I still can’t define well: aromatic greens of unknown [...]

Though relatively young, and therefore jovial, and the product of a content childhood packed with humor, I’ve grown into someone that is constantly asked:
Are you unhappy?

Bawling at the table in my Italian family’s home, seeming a mystery to the black and white of intercontinental correspondence, being irrationally testy at home, where the bubble is supposed [...]

Today’s documentation of the travel and blogging world is a little slim but can plunge you into a lotta deep thought.
The Four Burners and Success
Who really has a balanced life? I’d like to think that overall the way I conduct myself on a year-long basis levels out between travel and home, physicality and leisure, hermitville [...]

This summer I was planning on doing a [...]

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.
$10,000 to be a Museum Live-in
Live in the Museum of Science and Industry for one month, learn something, write about it, and receive $10,000 for your efforts. This is not a shabby gig.
The Museum 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 [...]

Back from Mexico and once again with enough time to consume the best travel gummies on the net this week. Sorry my schedule is all higgilty piggilty. Chew away.
Guillebeau Talking for TED
If you’re a fan of Chris and his charisma, check out renowned non-conformist’s TED talk from Carnegie Melon University. He discusses fear with some [...]

Hello, I would love to [...]

I’m in New York City! Depending on our work load in Mexico, this may be the last normal Consume & Update for a while. Enjoy it while you can!
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 managed to do it. After six months of experiencing, scribing, and mulling over the occurrences of my winter in Fiji, I have finally documented in true form the adventures we had in that dreamlike state of displacement.
Post-vacation in the Yasawas, I took my final shower, had my final (and best) meal, and flew home [...]

They braved months of an extensive application process. They beat out thousands of fellow travelers and competitors to hold the coveted title of World Traveler Intern. They’ve never met. Let’s check them out.

It’s no mystery why I’m intrigued by these two travelers. And especially since they’ll be taking off tomorrow, all the more perfect is [...]

Along with my congratulations, I sent the fresh new World Traveler Interns a request for an interview before they took off around the world this summer. I wasn’t sure what angle I wanted to take it in, nor what kind of humor it would exhibit, but what came out was simply hilarious.

I sent questions to [...]

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 [...]

You learn something new every day. Well today’s post is going to help you make up for last night’s nonsense fest…whatever it is that you did…

Thought it would be fun to poll you, the readers, to see what kind of travel personalities find themselves on Nomadderwhere! Brave New Traveler published a story [...]
