8 years! I’ve been hanging with good ol’ Bellroy now for 8 years. We’ve climbed Mt. Fuji, motorcycled around Nepal, and road tripped Scandinavia together to name a few. All this time, you’ve always had my back. Like that time I had no pen to fill out the customs form and you were there with […]
Guate’s Up On Lake Atitlan During Covid-19?
Where is your license plate? Where are your papers? Demanded the cop in Spanish. Around him stood 4 AK-47 toting masked military men. It’s times like these that you need to decide. You either let your nerves dominate you, or you… Boom. Game time. Spanish words that my subconscious somehow picked up from “Money Heist,” […]
How I Became Co-Creator Of Buddha Bear’s Enlightenment Coloring Book
When I ran away from home nearly 15 years ago, I never would have imagined I would be creating Buddhism inspired children’s books. To be honest, I always hoped I would be working as side kick to Indiana Jones or James Bond. Looking back though, it all somehow makes sense. So many of my experiences […]
Lufthansa First Class LH 760 Review: Italy To Nepal For 65k Points
After a scenic flight over the alps, our small plane taxied into it’s parking spot at Frankfurt Auf Main airport. Out the window a black Porche pulled up beside the plane. “Jesus, look at that beauty of a car, it’s probably here to pick up the Prime Minister or something,” I whispered. We walked down […]
Yakety Yak Hostel: Rustic Refuge In The Heart Of Thamel
With so many accommodation options in Thamel, it’s difficult to decide where to stay. If you’re on a super tight budget, there are plenty of grungy hostels with dorm beds for just a few bucks a night. But if you’re looking for comfort, convenience, cleanliness, aesthetics, and a social atmosphere, Yakety Yak Hostel is where […]
How Shopify Changed My Life: The First 1,000,000 in Sales
Life is something remarkable. One day you’re a homeless vagabond sitting up against a building getting pooped on simultaneously by two birds. The next day you’re on the 119th floor of the Ritz Carlton Hong Kong eating petit fours. It’s been almost 20 months since I made my first sale on Shopify. There’s not a […]
From Rags To Real Living: A Broke Runaway Turned Independent Entrepreneur
When I turned 28, I had to make a change. I was tired of sleeping on the street and eating leftovers from the dumpster. Most of all, I hated the stress of having to borrow money from friends, constantly check my account, and pay countless overdraft fees. I could not live on the edge anymore. […]
Touring Nepal By Motorcycle: The Good, The Bad, The Spectacular
When you’re riding, you’re exposed. Warm valley updrafts caress your mountain chilled skin. Nostril burning cityscapes give way to sweet forests and fields. Curious locals greet you every time you stop to rest. You experience the world without filter. The resulting memory is vivid, pure, and forever beckoning you to return. Having motorcycled through parts […]
Runaway Nepal: 10 Days, 50 Travel Writers, 420 miles, 1 Bullet
After a Tom Yum soup filled five days in Bangkok I’ve just arrived to Nepal. I had originally planned to come here to find & develop products for my business, but was suddenly invited by the Nepalese government to join a 10 day tour of the country. Together with group of over 50 travel writers from […]
Sala Rattanakosin: Bangkok’s “Floating” Boutique Hotel
We had just spent the day exploring Bangkok’s Grand Palace, and the great reclining Buddha at Wat Pho. As we headed back towards the river to catch a boat home, I took us down the wrong ally. Little did I know, it would be one of the best wrong turns I ever made. At the end of the ally, […]
Runaway Tours Guatemala: A Deeper Look
I started Runaway Tours in Jan 2015. Since then I’ve run away with over 50 people through 3 of my favorite countries, Thailand, Japan, and Guatemala. In Thailand we discovered a unique blend of Buddhism, learned how to ride scooters, and of course 6$/hour massages. In Japan we gained insight into the Japanese philosophy of life. We learned to […]
How To Piece Together The Cheapest Flight
In March I want to travel from my hideout here on Lake Atitlan, all the way back to Japan for Runaway Japan 2016. At first glance, inserting Guatemala City to Tokyo Narita on Kayak, Google Flights and Skyscanner offers dismal prospects; 18 to 40 hour flights that are all over 1000 USD. For my budget […]
