The Life Of A Permanent Nomad
I’m sorry, Sri Lanka. For many years, I chose to ignore you, to shun you, to shrug my shoulders and say “Eh” whenever you were mentioned. After a quick 3-day visit to Colombo back in 2002, I never thought about paying a visit to your shores again. This was despite 30 trips to India, your neighbor to the north, and …

My goal is to provide the main information you need to start planning your trip, and all of the details below are based on my own recent travels to this country. Of course, once you have a read, if you still …
As time goes on, it takes more and more for me to get excited about a destination. Yes, after 18 years of constant travel, I have seen a great deal. And just like anything we do over and over again, travel has just become the norm. So, to combat this, I need to head beyond every now and then, I …
It’s January. It’s Monday. I’m on the island of Bali. It’s my 6251st day of travel.

How could I turn down an offer to visit a remote village in Nepal? After all, I’ve known my friend Bhudiman for over 5 years. When I first started organizing tours to India back in 2012, I was connected to Bhudiman through a mutual friend and he instantly became my most trusted driver for these group trips. Not only that, …
As the end of the year approaches, I want to share my travel favorites from all the experiences that I had in 2017. It was a wild year, one that took me to 28 different countries, led me to 71 different accommodations and gave me some of the most memorable moments of my entire 18 years of travel. So, here …
About two years ago, I started doing something that pretty much guarantees I get an Airbnb discount every time I book accommodation with Airbnb (the website that allows you to book rooms, apartments and homes all around the world). It wasn’t some crazy secret that I had uncovered or some complicated trick that I figured out over time. It was …
It’s time for the second episode of my “Life of Travel” video series. This episode was filmed on the rooftop of the wonderful Dev Niwas Hotel in the magical town of Bundi, India. Bundi is one of my favorite destinations in all of India and as you’ll see in the video, it has a lot to do with its setting. …
It’s video time. From here in my living room in the Canary Islands, I’ve put together a video this morning. In Part 1, I provide a short update on exactly where I am, what I’ve been up to and what’s next as I continue my 18 year adventure around the world. In Part 2, I answer some of the interesting …
Two weeks ago, we were in Prague for a 5 night stay. It’s a popular city of course, with that impressive Baroque architecture, imposing castles and Gothic churches and an Old Town that everyone in the world seems eager to explore these days.
