  Monday Links #2

  09.22.08 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  Well folks here I am again on a Monday morning in Germany. I can’t tell you if the day is a nice one, because I honestly haven’t seen it yet.
  I have been in the Frankfurt international airport for the last twelve hours…and I don’t even have a ticket.
  More about that later, but for now, here […]

  Hygiene while Stealth Camping

  09.18.08 | Permalink | 4 Comments

  Someone left a comment on the last stealth camping post about hygiene. I noticed this was an issue as well and have been brainstorming. Though most of this I haven’t actually tried yet, these are my thoughts on the matter:
  The thing is, if wild camping is mixed in with stay overs at hostels (say, every […]

  Stealth Camping, the first night.

  09.17.08 | Permalink | 13 Comments

  Having tired of costly apartment rentals and hostel expenses, the foremost thought on my mind for the past few weeks has been of converting to “Stealth Camping” (camping in an unregulated urban area while going entirely undetected) full-time.
  I was tired of paying a premium for a place to sleep and wanted to enjoy nature without […]

  Monday Links #1

  09.15.08 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  I am an admitted browsing addict. One of my guilty pleasures is spending hours reading the RSS feeds of travel sites. Sometimes, personal finance blogs get in there as well (as for most of us travelers, that is just as important). I have decided to start posting links to some of the most interesting articles […]

  I need less stuff.

  09.11.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  I am back now, safe and sound after a productive late-night train ride and a brisk pitch-black 2am walk home, in Siegburg. I am looking out at the same little gingerbread house with the same children’s toys strewn about its yard outside my window. Its comforting to know that I have this place, if only […]

  Hagen and Hamburg

  09.08.08 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  Though these past few days have been a whirlwind of travel, I do not feel disoriented nor exhausted. My only explanation for this is that I must simply be used to such inconsistencies. I feel as though I can fit in and meld into any situation now, without too much adjustment. Everything is streamlined, including […]

  My new digs

  09.01.08 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  Hello everyone. I’m coming at you from a different part of Germany now. Through my window, I’m able to see the charming roads of Siegburg, a little town just outside of Cologne.
  The way I got here is not an extremely interesting story, but what is interesting, is that I’m here to stay.
  Here to stay has […]

  Yesterday: A photo essay

  08.26.08 | Permalink | 4 Comments

  Yesterday, we had nothing scheduled, and the family was planning on being away on various errands for most of the day. After a brief conference, we decided we should spend our alone time walking through the town of Hagen and taking some photos.
  I have been hoping to take some photos worthy of showcasing on this […]

  “Fun Park”

  08.22.08 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  I am sitting in the same chair as last time, by the same window. This time I have a slightly incredulous look about me, and am sipping my tea with quiet diffidence.
  I am downright exhausted, you see, and the way I see it, I should not be awake right now at all. I must explain […]

  What’s NEW in my pack

  07.30.08 | Permalink | 6 Comments

  Hey everyone. My deepest apologies for not writing anything substantial these past couple of weeks. My “real” job needed some tending to and thus I’ve been unfortunately busy. Hopefully the flow of urgent work has been staved for a while and I can focus more on writing for this blog.
  So…we know what I had in […]
