    Video Finessing the Bull

    It was a tough situation, I was in a public park and just had to play it cool. I learned something valuable from this altercation. Whenever visiting a new town, it pays dividends to learn the name of the County and research interesting facts about that community for small talk with people in...

    I'll be going to Japan in 2 weeks and plan on doing a little bike tour there but I just received confirmation from the airline I booked with (Austrian Airlines) that the airport handling fee, which is apparently separate from the airline, for the bike would be $150 one way and another $150 back...

    Video First 10 days of my folding bike tour in the EU.

    I did an equipment post and a bike post. Now I'm here in the Netherlands doing the actual adventure travel part. This video might be a little vacation and a bit less travel but given that I'm posting this from a sand dune camp in south Holland it's only going to get more exciting from here.

    It’s not the size of the plane but how well it flies

    So it finally happened… Flying from LAX a few days ago. I’d been travelling in dirty clothes for a few weeks and all had that was clean was sweat shorts and a hoodie. For anyone that knows me personally, they know my struggles with the size of my penis. Going through airport security I was...

    Traveling, Self Esteem, Social Status, and Happiness

    I was curious how traveling effects how you feel living in a capitalist society? I've been on disability for many years, for both mental illness and a very painful neurological condition. I became quite isolated and was too ill to travel for some time, but my symptoms improved enough I was able...
