About Me

My photo
I am a bohemian nomad, someone who acts and lives free of regard for conventional rules and practices, but also one who moves according to the seasons. After traveling to over 100 countries and all 7 continents over the past 12 years I feel that I truly subscribe to the words of Mary Poxon, who said. "I sought to see the amazing as normal and the daily as unique, and in that swirling paradox I found the joy of travel." I will be forever in pursuit of new sights and adventures and hope that maybe I can convince a few more to give budget travel a chance. Budget travel gives those with little money an opportunity to travel and those with money an opportunity to travel longer.

ITALY, Riomaggiore


I took the train from Florence, stopping for 30 minutes in Pisa for a picture, and then on to Riomaggiore. Cinque Terre, also known as the Five Lands runs from Riomaggiore to Monterroso. There is a walking path that overlooks the Mediterranean and goes from village to village. Vernazza is perhaps the most beautiful of the 5. I stayed in Riomaggiore which was a simple village but beautiful with its many colored houses and businesses. The train runs frequently between the villages all day until about midnight. This area is without a doubt the most beautiful place that I have ever been.
