My Travel Stories
Whenever I go gallivanting around the planet I like to make sure I keep some sort of journal (on account of WAY too many interesting things tend to happen and there’s no way I’m gifted enough to ever remember even half of them). The problem with actual cloth or leather bound journals is that 1) they take up valuable space and 2) they don’t serve the double duty of keeping your family and friends up to date on where you are when and whether or not you’re safe (the big one for moms). For these reasons I tend to keep my travel story blog up and running whenever I’m wandering. Not only do I get to look back years after my travels and be reminded of all the ridiculous situations I put myself in but in the moment it’s a vital tool to minimize the amount of time I have to spend letting everyone I know what I’m up too. Plus, with the proliferation of internet cafes you don’t even have to carry a computer with you to keep things up to date!
