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 ...

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 ...
There's only been one other time when my Christmas wasn't filled with earmuffs, slick roads, and airings of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. And the night we left for Maui with the rest of the holiday escapists was a tad doleful as we left winter in our contrail. Two Bellies Churning [caption id="" ...
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? Part of me wishes that would mean having the coolest passport ever - or I guess a ...
Various news publications reported Cyclone Mick as a battering, vicious storm, causing a lot of devastation to Viti Levu in December of 2009. BBC showed disheartening video footage of the aftermath.

While half our day is spend documenting and planning educational activities, the other half involves doing all things villager…playing rugby, working at the farm, swimming with the kids and just being a member of the community. Take a peak into village life in Nakavika.
