Traveling Highlights

  • Started hitchhiking home from school at the age of 8
  • Hitchhiked the length of the United Kingdom, from Land's End, England to John'O'Groats, Scotland and across northern Ireland (at 18)
  • Hiked from the Aegean Sea to the peak of Mt. Olympus, Greece
  • Survived (barely) sleeping out on the streets of Paris, France; one night by the Place de la Concorde, and another on the Pont Neuf bridge (where my backpack was stolen as I slept)
  • Hitchhiked Highway 50, the "Loneliest Highway in America", across Nevada, Utah and Colorado
  • Hitchhiked naked with a friend (briefly) in the Rocky Mountains, Colorado
  • Went skinny-dipping in the Arctic Ocean (even more briefly) at Prudhoe Bay, northern Alaska
  • Lived in the Hawaiian rainforest of Kauai's Kalalau Valley for three months (between 5 separate visits)
  • Swam in the Ganges River at the foothills of the Himalaya Mountains near Rishikesh, India
  • Was an extra in the Bollywood action/drama/comedy movie "Shikari" (2000) while traveling through Mumbai, India
  • Went on camel safari through the Thar Desert of western Rajasthan, India
  • Survived a rooftop bus ride, also in the Thar desert, on the way to Jaiselmer
  • Trekked to Annapurna Base Camp at more than 13,000 feet, Himalaya Mountains, Nepal
  • Swam, snorkelled and bodysurfed off the islands of Ko Mak, Ko Kood and Ko Phayam, Thailand
  • Was stopped and surrounded by bighorn sheep while driving in Jasper National Park, Canada (they eventually let me go)


"The Little Things" by Colbie Caillat. The video is filmed in the little town of Hanalei on the north shore of Kauai, Hawaii. Not only is it where Puff the Magic Dragon is supposedly from, it's the last town on the way to the Na Pali Coast and the Kalalau Valley, where I've spent quite a bit of time. The very first scene in the video is actually of the Na Pali Coast...Updated: too bad, they removed the actual video from YouTube.com, but at least you can listen to the song.



"Toe Jam" by David Byrne and the BPA, one of the funniest music videos ever, brilliantly done...



Countries visited so far (15 down, a hell of a lot more to go):




create your own visited country map or check our Venice travel guide


create your own personalized map of the USA or check out ourCalifornia travel guide



And some more music videos, just for the fun of it:

"Superblaster" by Curve, the best band nobody's heard of...



"Stupid Girl" by Garbage, a great song (if not great lyrics) if you just sit back and let the music take you somewhere (wherever that might be)...



"She Sells Sanctuary" by The Cult, live...
