Recently, a friend of a friend organized a trip for us all to attend Coachella.  My friend handled all the travel arrangements, and her friend handled lodgings, drinks, and food.  I booked the flight picked out, and I bought my concert ticket.  Other than that, I just handed over $150 and accommodations and food were […]

Coming up on a long series of weekend get aways and island adventures, I found it just the right time to upgrade my traveling bags.  Remembering my longing for packing aids while in New Orleans, I decided to pick up a mixed set of packing cubes as well as a replacement for my old toiletry […]

Hong Kong has the only skyline I consider even cooler than NYC’s, especially after dark. 
A recent collection of “Top 10 Wired Reader Night Pictures” included the one above. 
Gorgeous.

When traveling in in Argentina, I got mixed responses when I told people I was an American.  Some would express interest and some would express contempt.  It wasn’t till my fellow traveler offered me a piece of advice, that my responses were almost always positive. 
Tell people exactly where you’re from.  Say, “I’m from Denver,” or, […]

I’ve been luxuriating in the idea of taking my 30th year of life off as a micro retirement.  One idea I have is to take a round the world flight.  The idea is that you buy a set fare from an airline alliance and get a set number of miles and trips to use up […]

I’ve been eager to try any New Orleans cuisine that fit within my vegetarian diet and I continue to be let down by the local delicacies.  Sno-Balls are disgusting.  These are essentially what the rest of the country calls snow cones, except in New Orleans they come from shaved ice instead of crushed.  The locals […]

If I had a hippie mom in New Orleans, we would meet up to eat breakfast at the Bluebird Cafe. This small locals joint tucked off the major streets in uptown serves breakfast and lunch in southern styles with a granola twist. While you’ll still find steak and eggs on the menu, you’ll […]

One of the coolest parts about visiting the Florida Keys is the drive over all the bridges.  I videoed one of the cooler bridges on the trip.

Flying to visit the family one trip, I sat next to a bachelorette party bound brunette girl who offered me a piece of travel advice I’ve followed almost every time, take public transportation to the airport.  In Denver, there are a few options.  A bus from downtown will get you to the airport in about […]

In New Orleans there is a common building layout style called a shotgun apartment.  Essentially it is a multi-roomed dwelling without hallways.   This means the only way to get to other rooms is by walking through them.

I love renting a place with a kitchen.  While eating out is something I explicitly enjoy, when eating every meal out of the home it turns to more of a chore than anything else.  Renting a place with a kitchen lets me keep my simple and easy meals at home.  However, every time I’ve rented […]

Packing aids are usually used to help organize the innards of a suitcase. They give the otherwise open space inside a compartmentalized structure with boxes for shirts, socks, shoes, and whatever else you may want to bring along. Cash even uses a flat shirt packing aid to help keep a stack of dress […]

One of the troubles of traveling is finding dependable internet access.  I spent my first few days in New Orleans hitting coffee shops, drinking tea, and soaking up the free wifi wherever I found it.  After just an hour though, those wooden dining chairs detract from the fantasy of working around cute baristas all day.
After […]

Filming this, I locked myself out of the apartment, forced to spend 3 hours waiting in the zoo for a replacement key…

The one thing that invariably goes whenever I change my daily routine is my hydration level.  At home or in the office I’m guzzling water.  Switch up my daily habits, or relocate me around the world, I stop drinking enough water.  This trip however, I packed retaliation in the form of a planet saving reusable […]
