The Road is Calling - Gotta Go!

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”

Mark Twain

I love Mark's succinct explanation of why we should all spend more time traveling and learning about far-away places, cultures, history and people. More great quotes from Mark Twain can be found here

I used to think that a bigger backpack meant a more experienced traveler. It took me a while to realize that exactly opposite is true. Here's what I have learned over the past 40 years of travel.

My motorcycle journeys can be found on adventure riding page and my van trips are in van-life page. Below are some of the extended backpacking trips I've done over the years.
