“There is a spirit that lives in the water.” By this point I’ve pretty much checked out completely. John and I are standing in front of Bassin Zim, this beautiful turquoise waterfall in the middle of Haiti. We hopped on motorcycles in the morning and traversed half the country in order to check it out … Continue reading Bassin Zim – Creole for Insane Waterfall

Two Idiots Abroad
I don't speak German, I know nothing about German history except for some of the war parts, and I really don't even know what time zone it is in. It was in this fashion that my first trip to Europe kicked off yesterday. Matt and I traveled oversees to meet our friend, Paul, at his house … Continue reading Two Idiots Abroad
The Return
This will be a short post, there isn’t really a whole lot to tell. At least, not after the action packed weeks that preceded this one. I really wasn’t even going to say anything, just let you figure out that I made it home, but it has been made aware to me that I need … Continue reading The Return
The Pacific Northwest
Out of all the places I've seen so far, the pacific northwest is the first one I could see myself living the rest of my life in, or at least a season of my life in. Several times I found myself gawking, head out of the window, giddy at the sight of moss, prehistoric trees, and … Continue reading The Pacific Northwest
San Francisco
San Francisco is one of the most visited cities in the United States. It was pretty clear why as we started to use our 24 hours in the city to see as much as we could. A person could spend weeks there and still not reach all of the touristy spots. At the north end … Continue reading San Francisco
Big Sur
One week on the great American interstate system. I’ve met some great people, some funny people, and some creepy people. I’ve heard great music, listened to amazing stories, and saw beautiful sights. Today we are on our way to San Francisco, I am finally letting go of the driver seat and letting my comrades take … Continue reading Big Sur
San Diego
the stretch of road from the Grand Canyon to San Diego boasted the greatest variety of weather and road that I've ever seen. First off, we were hit with a huge rainstorm. We had to pull off and grab lunch while we waited for it to pass. Next, the sun came out and the temperatures … Continue reading San Diego
The Canyon
The Grand Canyon alone made the drive worth the effort today. After another long drive, we set up at a nice campsite just a few miles south of the Canyon, then went up to see what the big hole was all about. Working our way through all the international tourists, our first sight of the … Continue reading The Canyon
Mile 1,350
It is night two, approximately Mile 1,300. We have made our way to western New Mexico off of I-40 at a campsite at Bluewater State Park. Starting the day off with a divey coffee shop in a small town. When mentioning that we had car troubles the previous night, the barista joked that that … Continue reading Mile 1,350
Problems Will Rise
Yesterday I took off from Des Moines at Midnight to Meet Austin in Ft. Collins, Colorado. It turned out to be a successful leg of the journey, after an energy drink, plenty of Chex Mix, and a thermos of the strongest coffee I've ever drank. It took 12 hours in total, which put me into … Continue reading Problems Will Rise
