Awhile back, I came across a charity. A charity that deeply moved me and whose goals kept resurfacing in my thoughts. That charity is Charity: Water. The other day, I decided to take action. I started telling my family and yesterday I emailed everybody in my contact list. Now I [...]
With Thanksgiving on the horizon, I figured I would pass on my most memorable Thanksgiving yet. It was spent overseas while backpacking in Byron Bay, Australia. I was fortunate to have three of my good friends traveling with me: Stephanie, Bryan, and Blake (listed clockwise in picture above).
I say fortunate because I believe [...]
So blindly trusting. Scuba divers sinking slowly into the surreal subterranean sea…downDownDOWN…darkDarkDARK…deepDeepDEEP! Playing water torch games with the giant silver trevally looking for dinner. The octopus in the hunting position digging a new bottom to evade our light. The reef sharks circling and circling looking to feast. Some come in to say hello and some [...]
I am weird. You are weird. Everybody is weird.
Trust me, even if I don’t know you, I guarantee you can list at least one thing you do that you think might be a little weird.

Just try it. See [...]
Many people have asked me how I traveled for 13 continuous months out of one backpack. The answer is simple….pack light! My cousin Taylor gave me some great advice before I left, “pack everything you think you need, then take out half of it.” He also told me to just grab my [...]
Every year, my family and cousins are fortunate enough to vacation in Yosemite for 3-4 days. That might not seem like a lot of time, but we stay at a Ranch that my mom and her sister have been going to since 1959.
Would we like to stay up there longer? Of course, but [...]
Sorry to bum you out, but this ‘Greatest Blogger of All-Time’ never even had a blog. Sure, he had an online stint with ESPN, but that was a highly regulated sports column. Who am I talking about? I am talking about Hunter S. Thompson.
He was always at the peak of the writing [...]
A few days ago, Mary Jaksch of Goodlife Zen wrote a guest post on Darren Rowse’s ProBlogger titled How to Use Apture. It gave a very detailed explanation on Apture that helped introduce different aspects that I had yet to uncover.
