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 [...]

Today’s photographs are in honor of my one year-old niece, Olivia. She loves to shake her moneymaker, show off her muscles, and make the meanest stink face you ever did see. And not only that, she’s already an avid traveler! Having already explored Boston and Florida, she’s bound for the East Coast and Mexico in [...]

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 [...]

Who’s this Johnny fellow, you say? Why our fearless Indy native whose name evokes terror in the minds of the Great Depression bank industry. Dillinger. John Dillinger.This dude was a quintessential 1930s gangster, a ruthless gunman and bank robber, and now the subject of Hollywood’s newest action-thriller starring the ever-heartthrobby Johnny Depp: Public Enemies.
Why am I [...]

I remember the excitement in elementary school from making it on the local TV channel during our Indian and Pioneer reenactments; oh, what a thrill.
However, today was infinitely cooler as I took a very “Alice in Wonderland” wide-eyed gaze around the WISHTV set. I was probably just projecting, but those anchors and backdrops looked crisper [...]

I now interrupt this Big Journey travelogue to talk about my STA final video and upcoming web development. But fret not, because I will pick up with my travels in Cambodia, Thailand, Japan, and Hawaii upon the completion of this madness called the “final round”.
The Indy Video
For those of you coming from other worldwide [...]

It is 1:40 a.m. in Indianapolis, Indiana.
I have so few hours left in this house, in this state, and on this side of the globe. It’s unfathomable, the intensity of these last few hours. I’m hardly nervous or even realizing what’s going on.
Mom is asleep beside me, curled up like a cold little orphan girl…couldn’t [...]

My transformation began with the first step off the gangway. The equatorial sun toughened my already sun-kissed skin, pollution darkened my nostrils, mosquitoes feasted on my leg, and the stench of the city penetrated deep into the fibers of my clothing. Any Westerner would experience this discomfort with a visit to Chennai, but this is [...]

Now the countdown is T minus 2 days until we get Allison buzzed and set her on the plane for the family vacation preceding the grand voyage (pronounced with a faux-french accent).
New news…I make wonderful banana pancakes (Jack Johnson would be proud) for my daughters and my sicky bio-mama, I have developed a lovely case [...]

Man, when the girls from Wabash get together, mayhem ensues.
When the Colts go to the Super Bowl, I lose my voice but keep going.
But when I babysit for two kids that have me pulling my hair out, my body finally takes a beating. And now I am drinking my food through a straw while watching [...]

My days consist of checking the New York Times for any countries from my itinerary, watching previous SAS voyagers’ videos on YouTube.com, researching trips and adventures online, and watching TV with my cat at night, soaking in the last morsels of home life before I sail away.
There is no way to prepare myself for the [...]
