Proof Of Onward Travel On Spirit Air
“Good mornin mah brotha.” “Good morning, how are ya?” I reply, way too suburban like, taken a bit by surprise by this getto fabulous first interation of the day. “Where you be flyin?” Yup, no doubt about it. This is definitely New York La Guardia airport. “San Salvador” I say, in a thicker latino accent than […]
Eating With A Japanese Chef In Her Brooklyn Apartment
To my left is an Australian couple asking for advice for their upcoming USA road trip. To my right are two young teachers from New Jersey who have traveled to more off beat places than most. And in front of me is the most delicious Hokkaido style Nabe I’ve ever tasted. I have to admit I […]
Charged By A Herd Of Wild Elephants In Kaudulla National Park, Sri Lanka
They’ve almost completely surrounded us now. There are four behind us, five to the left and one 12 foot tall mammoth to the right. Foot by foot they converge on our jeep. Their deep growls reverberate into my chest. Their prehistoric trumpets pierce my ears. They stare at us with unwavering blood red eyes. In them I see myself. […]
Kamakura Chaos With My New Friend D
It was overcast, I hadn’t heard back from my friend and I didn’t know where I was going to stay. I was starting to lose morale and beginning to regret coming to Kamakura when all of a sudden I bumped into a old friend for the first time. D aka De-hi was his name. He […]
Leif & Tsuyoshi Go To Kyoto: Shrines, Temples, Diarrhea & Ramen
November 4th, 2014. I’m not quite sure where I am anymore. Across the street a lady in a kimono bows low to a departing customer. Behind me there’s a McDonalds where a girl is handing out flyers. We make our way across the bridge. Salary man, samurai, salary man, samurai. I look down the river, it’s banks are dominated […]
Get 35$ Towards Top Hotels On Travel Pony
Sometimes I love sleeping rough with a ceiling of stars and walls of freedom. But to be honest, I love staying at high end hotels even more. There’s nothing better than escaping to a cozy room with HBO in the middle of a chaotic city. Unfortunately, for someone on the road as much as me, it’s totally unsustainable. However, I recently came across a hotel booking […]
Awaking At Little Eden On Don Det Island, Laos
In any other place, awaking to the cries of roosters and motoring boats might induce some irritation. But on this mystical island of Don Det, 1 of 4 Thousand surrounded by the Mekong river in Southern Laos, it’s simply soothing. The whole ambiance of this place invokes a kind of nostalgia for childhood, and reminds one of […]
Island Life & Cockfighting On Don Det, Laos
Yesterday I arrived on Don Det, an island in the middle of the Mekong river in Southern Laos. As a top spot on the SE Asia “Gringo Trail,” I was expecting to find hoards of backpackers and inflated prices. But to my surprise, hardly anyone’s here and prices are even cheaper than Cambodia. I got […]
How To Eat Tarantulas & Other Bugs In Cambodia
After bumping around like jumping beans over unpaved roads for the past 4 hours, the bus finally stopped. Starving, I jumped out and walked towards the rest stop food court. As I side stepped a large metal bowel, something inside it caught my eye. Then I saw them. My legs immediately leapt backwards. There, inside, were at least 30 live Tarantulas! My mouth […]
How To Make A Quick Buck In Bangkok
As a runaway turned budget backpacker, I can’t stop looking for ways to save money, make money, and ultimately travel longer. I always try for discounts because it never hurts to ask. I haggle for everything because there’s always a chance. And I constantly contemplate potential business opportunities abroad. When I was 16 and trying to survive in Cairo, I brought tourists to perfume shops for […]
