These days I have an unwavering compulsion to read every strong travel narrative under the sun about the destination I’m next approaching. Sadly, since I’m not always heading to Paris or New York, I often only have one choice in novel, and Fiji was no exception.
The only book that reached my awareness and my local [...]

Prepare yourself for a very visual-centric post today. Perfect if you went to a horse race yesterday and are a wee bit feeble this morning.

This is the third time I’ve written this post. Maybe I should draft these in notepad first…oh well, here’s this week’s reading material!
What All Women Travelers Should Know
I often forget the rare instances when I’m harassed or blatantly violated because I am a woman while traveling, because it’s never the intention of a traveler to [...]

The amount of reading and weeding I did this week compared to how much I displayed below is amazing. I spent hours on this one…you had better enjoy it. No really, enjoy
The Ongoing Football Debate
I think soccer is swell. American football is also a snazzy game. I think the American distaste for soccer [...]

How do you travel and backpack without having a security net at all times? Is it courage? Do you need backpacking friends? Did you do it on your own? I ask because this is something I only dream of doing, and if I could receive advice or information from someone that’s been there and back, I would be eternally grateful.

One year after making my site official with its own domain name, my readership has grown to heights I hadn’t anticipated. I’m thrilled to see people from many nations and states commenting on my work and inquiring about all things travel.
Without these additions to the dialogue, this site would consist of me shouting out to [...]

Are you getting pumped for the Carnival of Blogs starting tomorrow? Yeah, I thought so. That’s why you’re here today to warm those eyes up and read about the rest of the online travel world, so you won’t feel guilty spending all your time here next week! I can read you like a book…or a [...]

I’m on the road in Northern Indiana but here to offer you some great material to couple with Sunday’s newspaper and buttery toast.
Another Timelapse Wonder
Making you feel very, very small in this beautiful world in 65 seconds or less…

I don’t normally buy these sort of books, and thanks to a friendly backpacker in Fiji, I didn’t have to.
Why don’t I buy comprehensive anthologies of my favorite genre? Because it’s not enough.
Five pages about a person’s trip in Mexico just gets me in the mood; it doesn’t take me there. Maybe I’ve read too [...]

I found some good reads this week! Take your laptop outside, enjoy the warming breeze, and read on, my friends, read on.
Writing Wherever
I seek location independence. I would love to be able to write and create multi-media work without a permanent anchor to my geography. Therefore, I look to those with the exact career I [...]

Excellent Travel Writer Advice
I don’t know how to introduce this piece by Jeffrey Tayler, nor can I sum it up better than by displaying the following excerpts. Basically my advice is for you [...]

I’m back! And some of you will be pleased to know that Consume & Update is also back and temporarily on steroids! This edition will be bursting at the seams due to the hundreds of articles I missed while in Fiji that I just browsed all in one intense sitting. Grab a Red Bull for [...]

Today I’m flying home.
I have no other quotes to share but these…not about travel but about education and ignorance.
If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time; you can even fool [...]

One more week before I head back to America, flying home on the 14th. Get this – I get to enjoy two Valentine’s Days this year. Let’s take one more look at some travel quotes (since I don’t have time to check out my favorite travel blogs) before we bring an end to The Nakavika [...]

Once again, I fall victim to the paucity of internet in the village. I don’t know what people are writing about or what’s going on in this world. It’s kinda nice, I gotta say. I’m instead looking inward while on The Nakavika Project. Let’s make like Janet Jackson and go deep in our thinking, facilitated by [...]

Sadly, I’m not able to read the blogs I regularly follow, thanks to a lack of internet in the village. Instead I’m looking inward while on The Nakavika Project. Join me in some deep thinking facilitated by some travel quotes:
If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion, and avoid the people, you might [...]

After running across ProjectExplorer.org a couple months ago, I’ve been contemplating this topic in hopes I could really tap into the depths of my beliefs. What does it mean to be a good global citizen?

I’ve got no clue what other bloggers are up to these days, nor the latest in news or developments in…well, nuthin’. But I’m instead looking inward while on The Nakavika Project, and I am inviting you to join in some deep thinking facilitated by some travel quotes:
If you are lucky enough to have lived in [...]
