First off, let me be the first to say that Las Vegas is not one of my favorite places. It can be a ton of fun but it’s just not my typical type of adventure. However, It’s definitely a cool place to see once and I know many people who absolutely love it. When I…
Teotihuacan is one of my favorite places on earth. It’s only an hour or so from Mexico city, is extremely rich in ancient history, and is absolutely remarkable to look at and climb. Mexico has many pyramids across the country including Chichen Itza, Monte Albán, Templo Mayor, and thousands more. Teotihuacan is one of the…
It’s been a dream of mine for sometime to be able to pay for a trip for my mom and dad. I always thought it would be a really cool gift to send them somewhere unique and different from anywhere else they have been. Unfortunately, as a student/shoe-string online entrepreneur, buying plane tickets for other…
Who says we can’t be inspired while lying on a couch! I know I was. I was sitting there before pulling the couch out into a bed, amazed by the kindness and openness of the people we were staying with. We didn’t know them at all. My girlfriend and I had arrived in another country…
I’m pretty sure the name “O” was given precisely due to the reaction of the audience. ooooo. Wow! That’s what I heard over and over as I sat through Cirque Du Soleil’s spectacular production of O.

Okay, I’ll be the first to say that I’m not a big believer in fate or anything like that. I don’t really think we have a set-purpose in life or a time which we are scheduled to die. I am, however, constantly impressed by the timing of various events that just seem so perfect. There…
Home sweet home. Familiarity, family, friends, and my own bed. Yet home is suddenly new. It becomes part of the trip. A distant land. It’s funny how that works. It’s only been about 40 days since I left for the World Domination Road Trip but pulling into the driveway felt almost the same as pulling…
Today is thursday, June 2nd. This means that tomorrow at 10am, Karla and I will be jumping out of a plane. I can’t say that either of us are nervous right now but I know tomorrow morning is going to be full of those light-stomach butterfly type feelings. Although I’ve jumped out of a plane…
In less then a week, I will be embarking on the World Domination Road Trip through Calgary, Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Grand Canyon National Park, Yellowstone National Park, and Glacier National Park. The road trip is epic to say the least but the heart of…
A couple weeks ago, I was still thinking of a way to turn the World Domination Summit into an epic adventure in which I could document the entire journey for my readers to enjoy. Then it hit me, I could do a road trip! Calgary, Alberta (my current home) isn’t actually that far from Portland, Oregon,…
