Today’s guest post is by Emily from Maiden Voyage.  She’s a working freelancer and if anyone knows how to make it work, it’s someone who can stitch together a living on their own talents and network.  Freelancing definitely isn’t for the timid, but if you want to make it work, here are some tips. Nearly [...]

Today’s guest post is by Matt Kepnes from NomadicMatt.com. It’s the question of my life… how to balance living life– seeing a city, taking photos for fun, spending time with friends and the distractions of being connected 24/7. I don’t think any of us have it figured out, but Matt has some great tips. As [...]

It occurred to me that when we travel, we learn more about a place from the people we see than the attractions we visit, yet we focus on taking pictures of the places. I wanted to address this disconnect, so I decided to create a photo essay based completely on the inhabitants of a particular [...]

You walk down to el centro and if you squint, it might be Madrid. Men in suits are the norm and even the teenage boys are wearing European style pencil jeans. We stayed in La Candelaria which is the historic district downtown and the only place in Bogotá with that classic colonial architecture. Part backpacker [...]

Guest Post: Julia Dimon has a pretty great life. Plucked from her travel writing job on a Canadian newspaper to star in a series of travel shows, she’s done everything from hiking with silverback gorillas in Uganda to sleeping with lions in the Serengeti and living as a Buddhist monk in Korea — to say [...]

It’s our first time traveling with an infant after almost two years of full time travel and it’s been unexpected. I know many travelers are of the decidedly childless sort, so I won’t bore you with the minutiae of a five-month-old’s daily life, but it has been fascinating to explore how this changes the way [...]

I recently purchased the base model of Apple’s iPad (16 GB, wifi only version: $499) and I’ve been traveling with it ever since. It’s become my day-to-day computing device and even though it’s intended purely as a multimedia device, I’ve found that it can handle a number of things my laptop used to do. First, [...]

Man, writing 2010 reminded me – we’re in the future. Which actually leads me to the next part: Are you a digital nomad? A traveler? Bound for The Burn? Want to meet up? The awesome travelers/digital nomads Cherie and Chris are running Camp Nomadia again this year at Burning Man. I’ll be there too, filming [...]

Today’s guest post is from Kirsty from Nerdy Nomad and besides earning her income online, she dedicates much of her time to volunteering in various countries.  She’s an inspiration to me and I hope this post inspires more traveling volunteers.  (That’s Kirsty in the photo below – top/left, volunteering in Haiti). When people imagine what [...]

Every great trip should begin with a series of minor catastrophes. If there isn’t already a proverb about this there should be. We began ours by missing our flight, spending a day in the Portland airport, overheating our baby in the NYC humidity, missing a meeting with friends, canceling our dinner at the famous WD-50, [...]
