We’ll be visiting Glacier National Park today, but… I think it’s safe to say I may have overdone it last night. I’m sure a combination of factors led to me feeling pretty poorly this morning (the altitude, a horrible but […]
Flashpacking Yellowstone v.5: More Touring Yellowstone
Gorgeous morning in Jackson Hole! Sunny with just a few clouds in the sky, fog lifting off the hilltops. Stopped off at the post office to mail a super cool holographic postcard to my nephew for his collection before we […]
Flashpacking Yellowstone v.4: Hiking In the Grand Tetons
It finally happened. I “slept in” until 7. Yes, ladies and gents, this is pretty crazy for me. And it was awesome. The trusty Hampton Inn delivered a so-so breakfast, but it was free, so I’ll take it. Got a […]

You’ve hiked hundreds of stairs in winding alleyways and find a wooden sign that reads, COLD DRINKS. You’ve officially arrived at Cafe Buza.
A New Zealand Road Trip With A Fiji Stopover v.4
Pancake Rocks and Mangarakau Wetland Swamp We spent the morning driving along some pretty spectacular New Zealand cliffs. Saw steam lifting off the Tasman Sea oceanfront, which I haven’t seen before. Tried to get it on video, but failed miserably. […]
