After 8,000 or so miles living on the road (honestly I lost count), I finally made it to a park I have always wanted to see — Glacier National Park. Glacier covers a large area of the northern part of Montana, and a little bit of Canada, and has some of the most beautiful vistas, […]

On The Road: Saguaro National Park
I thought my troubles of having no air conditioning in my car were over once I entered the arid New Mexico temperature, but I was far from any relief. As I got into Arizona the heat was unlike anything I had experienced before. The smell of rotten eggs emanated from my cooler along with the […]
On The Road: The Land of Enchantment
The first time I passed through New Mexico I was in a hurry. The second time I was coming from a blizzard that marooned me in Amarillo, Texas for a few days that kept me in a hotel room eating beef jerky and drinking sink water. Both times I was more than happy to see […]
What Kind of Traveler Are You?
Well, I took a quiz on Buzzfeed to find out what kind of traveler I am… Intrepid: You touch down and immediately start scanning the horizon for peaks, waves or timberlines. Your best experience of a city is when you’re looking down at it from a tall peak, or toasting your exploits at the end […]
On The Road: The Florida Keys
90 miles to Cuba, and the sun was melting my bald head as we waited in line to get our picture taken at the Southernmost Point buoy in Key West. This is literally the end of the line, and when you hit Key West you’ll start seeing “Mile 0” everywhere, because that’s it, there is […]

On The Road: Great Expectations, Some Malfunctions
From Chaos to Pura Vida was a true statement I made a few weeks ago before I started my life on the road. I’ve been living out of my car like a vagabond by converting my 2002 Honda CR-V into a “Car-V” dubbed “Atlas,” and so far she has held up like a true road […]
Hitting the Road
Last week I wrote an article (Somewhere Between Chaos and Pura Vida) about my intentions to hit the road and drive America. Well, this weekend I am taking that plunge and headed east to Watkins Glen, New York, to kick off my travels. While on the road I will be writing, documenting, and photographing the […]
