A few snippets shot by my good buddy Brian Carrion while we were out in Honduras over the new year....

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...

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...

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...

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....
