new travel posts every day
Tonight I will drive across Iowa south to north... In a big ass bandwagon. With the greatest band in the world. I will not sleep. A radio session awaits in the morning. I'm a roadie, you see. The road is my job, my work, my passion I won't ration. Now, I must put on podcasts... Continue Reading →
As I type this from the counter of the Puerto Vallarta Airport, awaiting my flight back to the states, I reflect on my two week stint in Mexico and, if I'm being honest, it mainly consisted of sex, drugs, and ukulele.

...And when, after the appointment, I told the pharmacist/doctor's assistant that I had to run back to the hostel to grab my wallet, she asked me to leave my cell phone as collateral. Muy tranquilo!

A woman and her son were filling up jugs of water from a outdoor faucet. I approached the woman. "Excuse me. Do you know who owns that field... Continue Reading →
Two weeks ago, my friend and rock climbing buddy dropped me off in the town of Placerville, CA. It was about 5pm. My goal was to hitchhike to Yosemite National Park, 120 miles away. After hitting a grocery store in Placerville, I initially struggled to find a ride out. My softer side wanted to give... Continue Reading →
As I prepare to return to Mexico tomorrow for my third visit to this wonderful country, now seems like a good time to tell you about my experiences hitchhiking in Mexico (and Belize to the South). I once tried to hitch out of downtown Cancun. With the trademark beach side hotels looking over me, I... Continue Reading →
If you've ever been to Las Vegas, you're probably familiar with the feeling of desperately wanting to get out of Las Vegas. And if you left Las Vegas and drove west towards LA, you'd soon pass through the last town in Nevada, a place known to the locals as "Stateline." This is the small city... Continue Reading →
