Monday Links #2

September 22, 2008

Well folks here I am again on a Monday morning in Germany. I can’t tell you if the day is a nice one, because I honestly haven’t seen it yet. I have been in the Frankfurt international airport for the last twelve hours…and I don’t even have a ticket. More about that later, but for [...]

Photo of the Week #9

September 21, 2008

This weeks photo was taken in Witzenhausen, Germany, a magical town of which I will write much more in the days to come. For now, all I will show is a photo. The most beautiful horses in the world.

Hygiene while Stealth Camping

September 18, 2008

Someone left a comment on the last stealth camping post about hygiene. I noticed this was an issue as well and have been brainstorming. Though most of this I haven’t actually tried yet, these are my thoughts on the matter: The thing is, if wild camping is mixed in with stay overs at hostels (say, [...]

Having tired of costly apartment rentals and hostel expenses, the foremost thought on my mind for the past few weeks has been of converting to “Stealth Camping” (camping in an unregulated urban area while going entirely undetected) full-time. I was tired of paying a premium for a place to sleep and wanted to enjoy nature [...]

A long-awaited video post

September 16, 2008

As I say in my video, seeing the person you read about every day actually speaking and interacting with the world in their own environment can add alot of authenticity to what they’re doing. I had my camera on me as I was walking back from the train station the other day and decided to [...]

Monday Links #1

September 15, 2008

I am an admitted browsing addict. One of my guilty pleasures is spending hours reading the RSS feeds of travel sites. Sometimes, personal finance blogs get in there as well (as for most of us travelers, that is just as important). I have decided to start posting links to some of the most interesting articles [...]

Photo of the Week #8

September 14, 2008

Alright so its true that I completely forgot about this weekly photo stuff. I remembered today as I was browsing through my archives, and noticed it was Sunday. What a perfect day to restart!I was walking today by the lake near my room and to my surprise, this majestic feathery creature was near the bank. [...]

I need less stuff.

September 11, 2008

I am back now, safe and sound after a productive late-night train ride and a brisk pitch-black 2am walk home, in Siegburg. I am looking out at the same little gingerbread house with the same children’s toys strewn about its yard outside my window. Its comforting to know that I have this place, if only [...]

Hagen and Hamburg

September 8, 2008

Though these past few days have been a whirlwind of travel, I do not feel disoriented nor exhausted. My only explanation for this is that I must simply be used to such inconsistencies. I feel as though I can fit in and meld into any situation now, without too much adjustment. Everything is streamlined, including [...]

My new digs

September 1, 2008

Hello everyone. I’m coming at you from a different part of Germany now. Through my window, I’m able to see the charming roads of Siegburg, a little town just outside of Cologne. The way I got here is not an extremely interesting story, but what is interesting, is that I’m here to stay. Here to [...]
