This is my second Burning Man experience and it feels much different than the first time. I don’t know if it is because I have already been exposed to all of the excitement before, if there is just a different energy in the air, or people around seem to be more withdrawn this year.

Wow! It’s been two years since I took my trip to Costa Rica, and I’m just getting around to writing this article. Talk about procrastination! To be fair to myself, I hadn’t even started the blog yet at that point. But once I had started it, I kept meaning to write this and show a [...]

I really like the idea of reflecting back over the last year and analyzing if it met your expectations and if what you see can help you to steer your coming days a little better.
These are my reflections for the year 2009.

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008 – I am really enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of this part of the country. I want to say “again” because it feels so much like the Pacific Northwest. The trees are lush and green and thickly line the road. There is a feeling of life and vibrancy emanating from the woods [...]

** I wrote this back in August of last year, and never got around to finishing my journal of my trip. I will endevour to complete the articles again… **
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008 – It is so NICE to get out of the city and the traffic I have been bothered by for almost the [...]

Tuesday, June 24th 2008 – It’s evening as I just roll into Virginia on my way to Richmond for the night. I had planned on visiting one of the old plantations around this area, but with night settling around me and having reservations about the whole experience of touring the plantation, I decide to not [...]

Monday, June 23rd 2008 – I’m heading towards the Great Smoky Mountains today, and specifically to ride ‘The Tail of the Dragon‘ at Deals Gap. It’s a famous road for motorcyclists because of the 318 curves in 11 miles.
After almost a week without really having any curves to ride, I’m excited to be carving up [...]

Do you want to know how I spent the plurality of my time sleeping on the road during my 38 day trip around the US? It was camping, but not just your average run of the mill – pull into the established campground and pay $15 camping. I called it Ninja camping, but I have [...]
