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, ...
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 ...

I have four types of travel poses: the ones I take at arm's length, the ones with sunglasses staring into the distance, the ones with my head resting on a surface, and Mighty Mouse. [gallery link="file" columns="2" orderby="rand"] Allow me to explain...
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, ...
He's blazed the powerful Rio Grande in a canoe and survived 40 miles of strike-blockaded roads to get to Machu Picchu. He's determined to impact the world positively, because the world has been good to him. Let's check him out. Igor is a fellow Indiana University grad and a helluva guy. ...
Welcome back to my new monthly series on Nomadderwhere, one which highlights the incredible trips one could take in that current month - thanks to a vibrant book called Journeys of a Lifetime by National Geographic. Each month I pick a couple adventures from each section in the book in order ...
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 a month-long initiative to amp up for the Mucho Mexico launch on September 27th, I am posting a video I edited on the history of chocolate, seeing as Mexico was it’s birthplace.

There’s no beating around the bush with this one. I’m bending the vehicle of my travel site to include things I create unrelated to my travel life. Of course, I’ve been doing that all summer, but if you’re not from Indianapolis, you may find this peak into my family’s backyard celebration to be revealing of [...]
Traveling creates a lifestyle of constant challenges, which then facilitate self-discovery and, in turn, happiness. This week, I report from my post alone in northern Indiana to ask you: how would you challenge yourself with a home experiment that would simulate the effects of travel?
Notes from this week’s Video of the Week:
I continue to get [...]
After one successful week of relative seclusion in northern Indiana, I’ve got some thoughts to share — musings, if you will. Your feedback is strongly encouraged.
Haven’t seen one of these in a while, huh? A video of the week or a webcam special. I finally got my act together! Enjoy.
Notes from this week’s video:
ProjectExplorer.org is in post-production stateside after a fantastic filming session in Mexico.
I’m moving out of my parent’s house for a month for some seclusion in my hometown.
I [...]
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 did it. I missed a day! June 20th, 2010 went by without a smidgeon of a visual. To those of you who missed seeing a Photo of the Day yesterday. I apologize. To make up for it (as well as today’s missing pic), here’s a little morsel of goodness to suckle on.
It’s safe to say I’m really pleased with myself and the completion of my first cut segment for ProjectExplorer.
Sure, I’ve been editing quick trips and question videos, writing blog posts, and researching the Mexico series. And since last summer, I’ve been exclusively using iMovie09, churning out some self-proclaimed impressive content. However, last night I cranked [...]
My video development has been solely focused on ProjectExplorer material. Here are some quick trips I’ve been editing or filming thus far.
Jazmine talks about her molcajete, which is a traditional soup-like meal in a volcanic dish.
We had a little fun in a market at Xochimilco. Jazmine really likes puppets.
While dining at the world’s 72nd best [...]
I finally dipped into the world of webcam, vlog-style videos, for both the sake of practicality/timing and in order to stay current with my website postings. As I embark on this trip to Mexico with ProjectExplorer, I am telling myself, “Stay current and create dynamic content with timing.”
Also, I wanted to thank the awesome tweeters [...]
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 [...]
Last I left the tales of this Fijian adventure, there was a major event that happened – one which led us to doubt the possibility of our project coming to be. After issues were resolved (in the eyes of the elders), we asked the Turaga ni Koro (village spokesman) to hook us up with a ride [...]
It didn’t matter how many times people clarified the schedule for the funeral arrangements, they never began at the designated time. It wasn’t about timing, though. It was about flow. Only when one group assembled could they continue with the next event, and with weather that echoed the widow’s eyes, every moment was contingent on [...]
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.
My [...]
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…
What’s Your Travel Personality?
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 [...]
This post was written by Garrett Russell.
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 week’s video post is dedicated to the betterment of the self-taught skills.
Recently, I answered a question on how to best groom yourself for the World Traveler Internship, and since a huge part of the job is video editing, I thought it wise to encourage an exercise that will only improve our skills in videography, [...]
Garrett and I met while traveling, which is why we share that close vaga-bond that provides plenty of laughs. Check out some of the outtakes from our 2.5 months in the South Pacific.
Note on Nomadderwhere’s May Schedule: Now that you know my big news for June, I’ve got some catching up to do with my [...]
