Within the 14 days we spent in California, the 3 days around Big Sur National Park had to be my favorite. The first day we backpacked 3 miles up the coastal mountains to spend a night in the mountains. It was really something to start at sea level, hike through the clouds and end [...]
Pushed on by rain, we drove into the night leaving the Panted Desert in our rear-view. We had a few choices in directions to go, should we head toward the Grand Canyon, or are we off for Antelope Canyon? Antelope Canyon is a small canyon located on Navajo land in the small town of Page, [...]

Many people have said, numerous times, that driving through Texas is very, very long. They were not lying. Driving over a full day, we accomplished that feat. The land was barren, dry. Seeing an oil derrick or cattle farm seemed to break up the drive a bit. Off of the highway, fast food chains and [...]
With excitement we head further west, where the canyons grow deeper and the sun warmer. After barreling through Texas, we stop off for the nights food in Albuquerque, NM. For a large majority of the trip we save money and stay healthy by cooking our own meals. When we can we buy fresh vegetables, but [...]
Pancakes over an open grille at rest-stop in Mississippi, and the day begins. With a long drive from southern Georgia we stopped off for some R&R in Mississippi, here we befriended Jacob. Jacob, in his late 20’s was traveling back east from Texas home to Florida, traveling on his bicycle, and hitching when he could [...]
CONTRIBUTE Throughout the months of June, July and August 2009, I was fortunate enough to spend time in the Fijian Islands, mainly on a small island almost directly west of Viti Levu. The island of Gau, pronounced “now” taught me many new things. I had the opportunity to stay with a mixed group of professionals, [...]
Stepping off the 45 minute ferry ride from St. Mary’s onto the soil of Cumberland Island we thought we may have stepped into Alice’s Wonderland. Cumberland Island, a national seashore only miles from the Florida-Georgia border, was our new home for the night. The Island has two different styles of campsites available, woodland & sea-camp [...]
Through the day and night we drove South with a heading of Charleston from Corolla NC. With a few directional flaws we were finally re-routed to I-95 South which we road out until about 40 miles outside of Charleston. We couldn’t resist the charm and persuasion of South of the Border, so we used the [...]
A few delicate repairs to Clementine made a late departure from Norfolk to Corolla inevitable. With a plan of a 1:00 pm push off we needed to call an audible, which I am sure would be frowned upon by mechanics and electricians alike, and quite frankly seem purely illegal to law enforcement. We experienced a [...]

The school year comes to an end, only creating new beginnings. With a rush to move all of our belongings from our apartments things become fuzzy with one object clearly in focus…our departure. As with any big trip there is always something to slow you down; a small delay on cosmetic body work on the [...]

To Those I Reach Be My Extension With reflection, I begin to understand who or what has influenced me and my decisions as well as my future plans. There are a few things that I am confident have aided in my successes to this point in my life. Support from those around you can go [...]

For many who have done things out of the ordinary, contrary to others beliefs and motivations opposition is always a common obstacle. These societal “Black Sheep” have two very distinctively different choices they can make, they can choose to let discouragement change their beliefs, or if they truly believe in what they are doing they will find [...]

As I look back on my life, loosely analyzing the decisions I have made, both good and bad I have begun to understand a few things. A reflection will at least surround you from one side. What do I mean by this? Although we all like to take pride in our independence, will power and [...]

What do I love? Where do I want to go? What should I do for a living? All fair questions, but where are the answers found? Well this differs with everyone but with us it lies within. Within this site. Within ourselves. Within the very things we dream of. Please Enjoy the Site, feel free [...]
