In my first post in the armpit travel series, I highlighted the benefits of using baking soda as deodorant at too much depth. Staying on the ever pressing topic of armpit hygiene, I have one more killer hygiene hack for men and hippy women: trim or shave your armpits. Travel Hygiene: Trim – Shave your armpits The benefits of [...]
First post in the Armpit Travel Hygiene Series. Too many backpackers trashpackers struggle with hygiene in their travels. I’ve had my fair share of grungy days on the road, but I do my best to keep my hygiene at a respectable western standard outside of the atypical super-long-travel-days. Hygiene starts with the armpits, and I’ll release one of my two unconventional [...]

But now that’s not realistic. [...]
Christmas is over. Resolution time. Everyone’s doing it. The independent travel lifestyle is as much about personal development as it is about seeing new things, experiencing new cultures, and eating foreign food. Personal development starts with goals, and as arbitrary as Jan 1 is, setting goals at the New Year is helpful if you have [...]
Most people probably don’t use marathon and vacation in the same sentence, rightfully so. I don’t, until I’ve had a glass of wine. After a friend’s tweet about the Dallas Marathon weeks back, I decided to check out options for international marathons out of curiousity. I’ve been meaning to run my first marathon next year, [...]
I recently experienced a devastating brain fart while hanging out with friends – I was unable to quickly locate Malta on a map. Priding myself as an amateur cartographer (not really), I took this fail as an opportunity to brush up on the tiny Euro nation…. and, to introduce it as the first post in a [...]
