Travel is like life, amplified. Your senses are heightened, experiences are vivid, and time becomes your biggest asset. In that spirit, you can watch the inspirational video by Casey Neistat.
The story in the video was that Nike hired Casey to make a promotional film. Instead of doing the job, Casey took the money, enlisted a buddy, and did a round-the-world trip. Personally, I think the prank aspect is being played up for street … Read more »
“But where’s the fun? Where’s the adventure? It’s not just “If it’s Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium,” it’s “If it’s seven o’clock, this must be the Café Le Petit Obsessive-Compulsive, this wine must be the Pinot Noir that I read about on Wines.com, the server must be Yvette, who got high marks on TripAdvisor, and I have to be done eating by eight o’clock so that I can follow the Google Map instructions to the … Read more »

What’s the strangest thing you’ve seen lately?
Still a bit jet lagged from the flight into Sydney, I awoke to the sounds of a giant dragon fly bouncing off the window as it sought freedom from my sparsely furnished single room cottage house that I was couch surfing. I opened the door and stepped out into the morning with the gleeful dragon fly and stretched my legs. The scene that greeted me was … Read more »
The love of travel usually starts somewhere. Some grew up in a family that traveled all the time, and it seems like second nature to many to make travel a part of their lives. Others may not have traveled much as kids, and maybe that first trip with friends in college was memorable and planted a seed. Those who decided to take advantage of study abroad opportunities probably had their lives changed by the experience. … Read more »

After a few months on the road, it takes something fairly odd to catch a vagabonder off-guard, but seeing a man herding sheep from the back of a scooter certainly threw me for a loop. The sheep didn’t seem flustered by the portly man zipping in and out of the herd, hurrying them along the hilly roads of Mykonos in loud Greek, all the while … Read more »
Several years ago, the relationship I was in ended abruptly when the guy in question dumped me over the phone. Even though we’d only been dating for several months, the breakup was unexpected—and it hurt. I felt the overwhelming urge to escape from everything. I called a travel agency specializing in last-minute tickets (here in Israel, it’s daka90.co.il) and inquired about their cheapest fares.
“Nothing today,” said the guy on the phone. “But tomorrow morning … Read more »

Sunday, April 22nd:from Grassroots to Global
The first Earth Day was celebrated by 20 million people across the United States on a Wednesday in 1970. The tradition has now grown to over a billion people in 180 countries thanks to an idea from Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin.
Everywhere people inhabit the earth; environment and climate create the cultural richness we all lavish in our travels—the diversity of food, clothing and … Read more »

Quote: “The minute you stop making excuses and start making changes is the minute your vagabonding adventure begins.”
I’ve never stepped foot in China, but sometimes I feel like I’ve come pretty close! I’ve sampled wonton soup on Kuala Lumpur’s Petaling street, browsed in Chinese antique shops in San Francisco, and spent lazy afternoons feasting on hot homemade pork dumplings at Vanessa’s Dumpling House in NYC’s Lower East Side. Fragments of China seem to be everywhere, and Chinatowns all over the world allow people to experience some of China without leaving home. If … Read more »
