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, ...

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...
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 ...
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 ...

This is what we woke up to. [This post is a continuation of Breaking Away to Rakiraki.] httpvhd://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUaFNu9O-vQ Garrett awoke me with a cheer, but I could barely move. Having not shifted an inch the entire night, my hardening body was attempting to fuse with the modest mattress like a mother to ...
