TweetIn many ways backpackers pride themselves on their ability to live horribly. We chose to eat food that might make us sick, we sleep on beds that might be home to bugs that bite, and we travel, well, any way possible to get to the next destination all in the name of saving money. However, [...]

TweetIt doesn’t take a long look in Las Vegas to find the strange ones, they are everywhere. Vegas is an awkwardly brilliant mix of tourists, people trying to “make it” in show business, and beggers and hustlers. A hostel is Las Vegas, well, it’s much of the same. I’ve stayed in a countless number of [...]

TweetI pride myself on being able to travel on a budget. I mean, I’m not one of those people that brags about being able to live on 3 dollars a day while eating dry noodles every day. I believe it spending money reasonably while travelling to get the most out of it. I believe that [...]

TweetMy eyes strain into a valley of red and yellow rock as I toss my backpack over my shoulders, nod my head at a man leading a pack of mules and then take my first steps towards the unknown.  My knees buckle and feet shuffle as I try to control the speed in which I descend down [...]

TweetIt is with great pleasure that I announce that my magazine Vagabundo has finally been published and is live for everyone to enjoy. Here it is!!! The Winter Issue of Vagabundo Magazine! There were definitely some learning curves that needed to be bent slightly to get this done, but after some serious trial and error [...]

TweetI’m sure that most of you have already heard of my latest project Vagabundo Magazine.  I’ve been harping on about the magazine for the past couple months and have been working very hard to try to make it a success. In the end, I am very excited to be able to announce that just a [...]

TweetThe wave of laughter rushed through the throat before ringing hysterically from the vocal chords of my good friends as I told them about my plans to head to Phoenix for a bit of a “vacation”. “Don’t you need to work to be granted a holiday?” one asked as he wiped the tears cascading from his eyes [...]

TweetAfter playing around with the American Express AIR MILES Platinum Card and its features I have to say that I’m impressed. The card has so many features that are directly geared at the traveller that it’s nearly impossible for the travel addicts out there not to get the best out of the card. The card [...]
