This past weekend I went down toPhiladelphianot for the World Series, but to visit with some very good friends of mine…and to figure out what’s up with Philly! Over the past year and a half, Philly has kept cropping up in conversations whether it’s about the art scene or friends moving there. My c...

A friend of mine recently got back from Europe. He sent out a tantalizing email summing up his trip and included links to photos with mini descriptions for each album. As I was reading the descriptions, I realized that I really would rather hear the stories about each photo in person...

Tonight I’m hosting a friend from China who’s surfing my couch. We played cards, drank wine and listened to music. It...

Life has launched me into full throttle more than ever this fall (and also is the disclaimer that goes with my disperse blog posts!). On August 30, I was behind the wheel of a massive UHaul truck with all of my worldly belongings packed behind me as I made the leap from Boston to New York City...

I’m in San Fancisco right now on vacation and this is a guest blog post from my old roommate and good friend Lily about our hiking adventure yesterday. sometimes you just have to make your own adventure. ...

One really amazing thing about traveling is the friends that you meet. While in Chang Mai I met Nate who travels every summer and I’ve had the pleasure to follow all of his trips via email. This summer he’s been traveling through India. I...

I’m already plotting how I can get down to South Africa for the World Cup next summer…and I know I’m not alone. Just this past weekend there were talks among my friends who’ve already got tickets! So I began drooling and then visiting my friend Google to learn more. Appare...

It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what it is that plants a seed in someone to want to travel. Maybe there’s an adventurous gene out there. More often than not places are sought out based on friends’ recommendations, books, movies, tv shows, posters and those alluring pictures on Flickr. I kn...

Many people usually give me a didn’t-see-that-coming look when I tell them I grew up in Tennessee. I don’t have an accent and don’t like sweet tea, but I am indeed from the South and am very proud of it. I re...

Being father’s day I couldn’t find a better video to share that ties in travel and fatherhood (I didn’t purposefully set out to do this either). A go...

One of the many wonderful things about travel are the realizations that occur when one is outside of the comforts of your own surroundings. Now that my last extended trip was around 11 months ago, I remind myself of some of my own little epiphanies that I can apply back on my home turf...

I’ve found a slight new obsession to waste time with online. It’s called Photosynth.It’s a new project hailing from Microsoft Live Labs but I don’t think many people have heard of it yet. If you have, it may be because of the CNN Obama inauguration day. That d...

For the Memorial Day weekend I headed down to Portsmouth, Rhode Island which neighbors the popular tourist destination of Newport. Because I was staying with a friend, I got the local tour of the island of Aquidneck which is home to both towns...
