VirtualWayfarer

I had the pleasure of sharing the stage this past Tuesday with 16 incredible presenters. Together, we all overcame our fear of the stage, of the spotlight and of failure to ascend one of the valley’s largest soap boxes for 300 seconds. ...

Hello friends! First and foremost thank you for allowing me to share my passion for Ballroom dancing! I’ve put this post together as a follow up to my Ignite Phoenix 5 Presentation in order to share more information with anyone inspired to try Ballroom dance. ...

My next trip is booked. Well, the airfare and time off work is at least! I’m now in that month(s) long stage of tantalizing anticipation as I eagerly wait to throw my gear in a backpack, fold myself into a crappy airline sardine can and kick off another adventure. ...

In honor of Blog Action Day 2009 VirtualWayfarer is joining thousands of blogs throughout the world as we stand as one against climate change. In place of a written post I’ve put the following video together. ...

I’m very excited to announce that I will be speaking at Ignite Phoenix #5. I’ve been a huge fan of the Ignite series since I discovered it just under a year ago. It embodies a somewhat random, haphazard pursuit of knowledge and wisdom which I absolutely love. La...

Background In addition to my passion for travel, I’m actively exploring the professional and academic opportunities presented by virtual worlds and gaming technology. I have written several widely popular blog posts (eg: Educating Millennials/my explanation of generational gaps). ...

After spending our evening in Dublin out and about, enjoying the area and local nightlife, Nate and I spent the morning getting caught up and preparing for our flight to Scotland...

Nate roused me out of a deep sleep at 8AM. After slowly rubbing the dreams out of my eyes I headed to the shower…still half asleep I walked into the men’s shower room and came face to face with a girl putting on her makeup. Mo...
