I love Mark Twain's succinct explanation of why we should all spend more time traveling and learning about far-away places, cultures, history and people.
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 40 years of travel have taught me about backpacking and motorcycle gear.
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.
