Honduras/El Salvador

Honduras/El Salvador

Ah, Central America. I had checked most of the region off my list already, but El Salvador and Panama had eluded me. So had mainland Honduras for that matter (San Pedro Sula is the murder capital of the world, after all). Panama may have to wait, but the other two are...
2017

2017

Reasons I liked 2017: Rehabbed elephants Thai sunsets Dragon boats Street food Singapore in the rain Toronto Colorado hikes Ethiopian dancing (yo yo yo yo yo!) Storms in Agadez (and late night drinks in Niamey) The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Lagoon pools in Bahrain...
White Sands

White Sands

You don’t have to share an industry to be inspired by someone. I mainly tell jokes and I write, but I make sure my social media input is full of more than just authors and comedians. I follow comic book artists, rockstars, base jumpers, novelists, rappers,...
Afghanistan

Afghanistan

Journeys can be about a lot of things. The destination, the road, the purpose, or in this case, the people. It’s hard to describe what a tour like this is like. The pace is intense. We took a 15 hour flight into Dubai, caught a handful of hours of sleep, caught...
When in Rome

When in Rome

A hard drive crash left me heartbroken that I’d lost these shots. Fortunately I’d already uploaded them to Flikr as a backup and forgotten. Anyway, I usually have a billion words for the places I go, but this time I feel like the pictures speak for...
The Morning Sun

The Morning Sun

My nerd roots run deep. I was a video gaming, comic book reading, fantasy fan way before it was cool.  Sometimes those proclivities collide with my love affair with travel. Romania. Everything I know about the country, I know from Castlevania.  It was one of my...
Roll With It

Roll With It

I get asked all the time about my tours performing for the military. Since 2001, I have been collecting memories and scratching countries off my list, while getting to do something that I feel actually makes a difference. One of the biggest reasons I get offered so...
Welcome to The Azores

Welcome to The Azores

I am exhausted. I’ve been up for just shy of forty hours.  I could have gone to bed anywhere in the last twelve of those hours, but I learned a long time ago that you never say no to an adventure. The Azores lie in the Atlantic Ocean, 900 miles away from the...
Welcome, Welcome

Welcome, Welcome

It’s funny. I had an entire thing written to launch this website, which, by the way, I should probably welcome you to. It was full of a bunch of notes about the last seventeen years of my life and how happy I am to be headed down this new road, or some such nonsense....
