When you travel around the world for a year, you learn a lot about time travel. That’s right. Not just “travel,” but “time travel.” You find your mind wandering going backwards in time. “I could have done this differently.” “I should have said this instead.” “What if I didn’t do this?” “What if i did…?” There’s […]
Adventure
A Look Back at Pre-Travel Prop Bets
The year was 2017. May 2017, to be exact. A young boy with a passport and a dream was about to take off on an adventure around the globe. To say he didn’t know what he was getting himself into was a gross, gross under statement. Like any digital douche with an iPhone and an […]
My Dad Forced Himself into Surgery Because He Didn’t Want to Leave Bogota Colombia
My dad is my hero in every way you can possibly imagine. He works hard, he never complains, he does everything in his power to be a great father and husband and to make life better for our family. I love him very much and I’m not sure what I’d do without him. After 26 […]
Buried Alive | A Friend’s Farewell
This one time in Colombia, I buried a friend alive… He was a good man. Tall and handsome, his piercing blue eyes made him no stranger to attention at any bar or night club. If you just took a quick look, you’d never guess that he could have children celebrating their 21st birthdays all over […]
Surfing the Longest Wave in the World: An Erotic Novel
Chicama, Peru. Home of “The World’s Longest Wave.” I don’t know a whole lot of Spanish, but I do know that “Las Olas” means “waves.” It also happens to be the name of this taco shop in my hometown with some unbelievable salsa where the high school kids go after school to make out in […]
In 2018, I Will…
2017. What a year it was. I visited somewhere in the ballpark of 20 different countries, I watched my beloved Patriots win another Super Bowl, I built myself my first website and I left a pretty damn good situation in Boston to throw my life in a suitcase and travel around the world. It was […]
Why Overnight Travel is an Alternate Universe
Travel sucks. Like the actual physical act of “traveling” sucks big time. And overnight travel is even worse. Whether by plane, train or automobile, everyone has their own war story and everyone will tell you that what happened to them was the worst thing to ever happen in the history of travel. “Can you believe […]
The Surfing Secret That I Can’t Keep a Secret Anymore
I have a confession to make… And this one is a doozy. I’ve been holding this in for a long time now. 25 years to be exact. It’s something I’ve always wanted to share with the world, but could never quite muster up the courage. Every time I’ve tried to tell someone there has always […]
Everybody Poops (except girls) – Sahara Desert Edition
Everybody poops. That’s just a fact. Everybody does it. Little babies in their diapers, dads of three on a Sunday morning, older men in their diapers. Everybody knows it and everybody does it (except girls, of course. Girls don’t poop. Right…?) Anyways, this all has a point. Stay with me here. I recently made my […]
A Night in the Marrakech Medina
The Marrakech Medina: where people willingly go to get groped, hounded and scammed and somehow still leave saying what an incredible experience they had. Think about that for a second. When was the last time you went somewhere knowing just one of those things was going to happen, never mind all three? Want to get groped? […]
