• The Gear of Life Nomadic

    To say that we packed light is an understatement. We packed super light. Someone recently told me a saying that stuck in my mind. “No one ever wishes they packed heavier.” So true. With fewer baggage comes more freedom, and that’s exactly what we’re after. Still, when Todd suggested that we take only a small…

  • First Impressions of Panama (Day 2)

    First Impressions of Panama (Day 2)

    We’ve been in Panama for two days now, but it seems like weeks. There’s obviously still TONS to explore around the city, but I’m already comfortable here and it even feels a bit familiar. First of all, I love it. For me it has the ideal balance between chaos and structure. It’s very safe… people…

  • Life Nomadic Day 1

    Life Nomadic has begun. Six months of not particularly careful planning and a full week of hectic scrambling to rid ourselves of nearly every earthly possesion has paid off. As I write our first post for Life Nomadic, Todd’s in the next seat over editing our first video. The kid behind me is pounding on…

  • Significant Days

    I got back from Boston on the 28th of December, giving me 10 days in Austin before Todd and I leave on the world trip. Every day counts now. I’ve been spending TONS of time with my friends. I’ve been slaughtering my backlog of important but not urgent todo items. I’m not wasting a minute.…

  • My Last Tazeroke EVER!

    Ok, maybe not ever, but probably for a year or so. As you know I’m leaving for my world trip a week from today, so this will be the last Tazeroke I’m a part of for a while. It will continue on with my friends Doug and Clint, but I won’t be there to experience…

  • Coming Soon… 2008

    I’m doing my new years post a few days early this year. I have a post coming out on the first and I want to give this one a few days at the top. So first, let’s get to last year’s goals. Make a Million Dollars This is long overdue. Not much else to say…

  • Amy the Waitress

    I finally arrived at the Manchester, New Hampshire airport around nine at night. We fly in there because it takes less time to get to my grandparents house in a Boston suburb from Manchester than it does from the Boston airport. Traffic and all that. We were supposed to get there at five, but there…

  • Movie Theater Mischief

    I’d driven by dozens of times and never noticed it. Tucked away from the main parking lot, vines had begun to cover the corners of the building. Pieces of sheet metal were hanging from what once might have been a modern looking building. A Wheel of Fortune aficionado may have been able to make sense…

  • It’s the Final Countdown

    I have two weeks left in Austin and ten days in Boston. When we first decided to go on the trip six months ago it seemed like it would take forever. Now every day seems to fly by before I can make any progress on my list of stuff-I-must-do-before-I-go. Of course, the one thing I’ve…

  • Miracle Berries

    So… we ate Miracle Berries. I know that sounds like I’m either a druggie or a hippie, but I swear I’m not. Miracle Berries are this crazy fruit from West Africa. They’re bright red, have a large pit in them, and taste a bit like a weak grape. So why eat them? Because they have…
