Now is a good of time of any to share my built-up grudges and disappointments in the world and people around me. Happy Festivus, everyone! I turned 25 two weeks ago. That’s a pretty big deal. If you didn’t send me a text, IM, or Facebook wall post wishing me a Happy Birthday, I sort [...]

I’m sure you can’t believe that I have even more thoughts on Kakadu, but I do. I had a lot of free time at breakfast the next morning to reflect. Rather than eat the complimentary basic breakfast, part of me craved something more than fruit and cereal, but most of me just wanted a more [...]

My last day in Kakadu was a much more subdued day. We took our time to get up and get packed. Talk about extreme teambuilding, after only 2 days out here, our group was a fully functioning unit when it came to surviving. Everyone established their roles and duties when it came to mealtime, cleaning [...]

The first night in Kakadu was…interesting. You know that cliche movie scene where a group of young campers are awoken in their tents by strange growling noises? That was pretty much our night. There were some terribly frightening rustling in the bushes that did not come from any human beings in the vicinity. The Germans [...]

Where no motivation exists, I create one. I’m no longer allowed to plan or book my next vacation trip until I’ve written down the last one. And seeing that 2010 is a quarter over and I’m editing and adding to Day 2 of my Australia trip from OCTOBER 2009, I better get a move on [...]

So I was supposed to be up, ready, and waiting by 6:30AM to get picked up for my Kakadu tour. Unfortunately, that was when I woke up. My stupid phone alarm never went off. You can imagine the sheer and frantic panic as I tried to simultaneously gather all my belongings and not wake up [...]

Note of integrity: This post was actually written while on the trip, you know…while I still had motivation to spend an hour writing. It was then edited back home when I realized my writing made no sense. Excuse the weird verb tenses that may appear. I just sat on a beach to watch the sun [...]

Sorry guys, it’s a little hard to blog when internet costs so much money down under. I’m just finishing up my Darwin leg and going off to Alice Springs next. Don’t worry, there will be an extensive recap of my first few days in Australia. Before I leave you totally hanging, here is a letter [...]

Another year, another adventure. To continue to live up to the series name, I’ve worked nine months straight with only one half day and a few holidays off. So I’m due for a trip to the other side of the world, no matter how ill-timed. As a creature of habit, there are a few things [...]

Hey, anyone know that I got a Vimeo account not too long ago? Of course you didn’t, you barely know I have a blog. Well, there’s plenty of random-ass videos being uploaded in an inconsistent basis. Plenty of vacation videos (long overdue, as usual) and plenty of random other videos from my weekends and things [...]
