Farewell to Havre
I spent seven weeks reconnecting with old friends, far away from the pandemic and social unrest.
Ken’s pet that dog
A Tumblr is born out of my love for dogs.
A vacation by myself
Hiking the Black Hills National Forest was the first time I’d vacationed by myself. But did I enjoy it?
Celebrating my friends’ successes
In two weekends, I got to see my best friends accomplish amazing feats.
Hiking to Mount Rushmore
Hiking to a national monument was the perfect way to spend Cinco de Mayo.
Hiking West Virginia’s New River Gorge
A snowy day made for perfect hiking in the New River Gorge national park.
The origin of Dungeons & Dragons
A trip to Lake Geneva brought back memories of Dungeons & Dragons, Gary Gygax, and TSR.
Road Dispatches from Fitchburg
It took me 22 years to fulfill a promise made in my hometown’s weekly newspaper column to find their city’s counterpart.
What’s a Boston bus doing in Wisconsin?
Who’s more lost: me, or the MBTA?
I wish Airbnbs listed their #walkscore. My current place in Central Massachusetts has a score of 3, whereas my stay in Alameda, CA, had a score of 89. The difference is noticeable in my day-to-day exercise and happiness. #Airbnb #Digitalnomad #Roadbits https://www.walkscore.com/
I had a great time dogsitting Summer & Biscuit in Colorado this winter! More important, it taught my friend the joys of having a dog in one's life. Thanks to @Housesitting for the opportunity! #Roadbits #DigitalNomad https://roadbits.net/dogsitting-summer-and-biscuit/
Anyone ever been to @trooseveltnps — our country's only national park named after a person? I'm thinking of hiking the Caprock Coulee Trail this Thursday, weather permitting. #FindYourPark #DigitalNomad #Roadbits https://www.nps.gov/thro/planyourvisit/caprock-coulee-nature-trail.htm
I just calculated my total housing costs for 2021. I spent 52% more than in 2020. 😱
I knew California & Colorado would be expensive places to live. But #Airbnb's overall prices have gone up, too. #Digitalnomad #Roadbits https://www.businessinsider.com/airbnb-prices-higher-travel-rebound-earnings-hotels-spending-vacation-2021-5
I arrived in #MissoulaMT last night, which is my first time in two years of nomading I've gone *back* somewhere. I did not anticipate the relief I'd feel at not having to engage in the "where is everything, how do I live/work here" new-city routine. #DigitalNomad #Roadbits
