My Experiences in Guatemala
Get ready for a few flashbacks to my past. The next couple of posts will center around some of my experiences in Guatemala. Over the years, I have spent a substantial amount of time there. When I was about ten years old, my family went to Guatemala for a month and then returned a couple of years later for almost a year. That second time in Guatemala was the happiest period of my childhood. You have to remember that this adventure took place almost forty years ago. My father, mother, two sisters, baby brother and I drove from the United States, through Mexico on the Pan American Highway,...
Read MoreThree Questions For Modern-Day Nomads?
Is there a kind of competition that takes place between nomads? Among those of us who have hit the road for months, maybe even years at a time, how long do you need to be in a country to give it a metaphorical notch on your belt? Do people finally get tired of living a life on the road? I found myself recently pondering these three questions for modern-day nomads. It all started when I realized that I questioned bragging rights? What I mean to say is that once you have gotten use to surprising non-travelers with your exotic tales of adventure, it can become a tad addictive. Most long-term...

Farah Evers is my friend and a shining example of a modern-day, independent spirit.

In my recent book, Creative Paths to Freedom – How to Live Your Dream Life ASAP, I suggested various ways that a person might establish a freer lifestyle. I happen to believe that the sky is the limit for true adventurers. One option that I wrote about was teaching abroad. I think that I have a real treat for my readers today. Jim McCoy, an adventurer after my own heart, fearlessly reinvented himself, and is now living and teaching in China.

Read MoreIndispensable Travel Items and Apps
I’m a compulsive traveler. At my happiest when either planning a trip or on a trip, traveling is almost an addiction. Yet, I really don’t relish the actual journey to my chosen destination. I have developed a list of indispensable travel items and apps that help to make my life on the road more convenient. I freely admit that because I find the journey a bit tedious, if I am unable to stay at my final destination for a long time, it is a temptation to skip the trip altogether. For me, a long time means no less than three weeks and as much as 90 days, the normal amount of time that I am...
