  • S2Ep25 Am I Becoming a Hermit? The traveling travel writer ponders the deeper questions.

    In this episode, late night ponderings outside of the realm of internet connectivity lead me to asking the deep questions.  Am I becoming a hermit?  Do I even care?  What deeper conspiracy is afoot where we can't go through 48 hours without the internet before experiencing withdrawal symptoms.  Listen to me ramble in the dark here.

  • Ep. 19: Get Your Passport

    Sometimes to get a better appreciation for where we are from, we have to leave that place at look at it from another point of view.  Of course we also run the risk of seeing so many flaws we have gotten used to.  Get your passport.  See the world.  See where you come from too.

  • Ep. 17: Road Tripping in Ireland: The Cliffs of Moher and the Lisdoonvarna Matchmaking Festival

    On the search for the perfect cable-knit sweater, I visit the world famous Cliffs of Moher, eat delicious food, and narrowly escape shenanigans at the Lisdoonvarna Matchmaking Festival.  Part of my series on my travels in Ireland, it's good to think back on those days as the weather outside is terrible up in the Colorado mountains.
