South Dakota and the Bad Ass Badlands
I had no idea what to expect from South Dakota, but the state really surprised me! This blog should probably be called 'West South Dakota’, because, I only really stopped in the western part of the state, which I think is certainly more picturesque! I spent time in both the Badlands National Park, and Mount Rushmore.
See more snaps and a review of the experience!

Yellowstone (Not Jellystone) National Park
Yellowstone, not Jellystone. Definitely different than Yogi Bear's top place to picnic. The world's first National Park, A UNESCO World Heritage site, and one of the weirdest places I've seen on Earth. In a word: otherworldly!

Joshua Tree National Park (in June)
I’m almost embarrassed to admit I had never been to Joshua Tree, ~2 hours from LA. This rare jewel hidden deep in the desert is fascinating and freaky and hotter than hell (in June).

On the Road Again!
I’ve been back in the US for ~2 months. The transition from international man of mystery to domestic couch surfer has been less than inspiring. Being back in Boston was great! But, LA has felt twilight zone-ish. So, I’m back on the road!

Inca Trail to Machu Picchu
I’m in Europe now, and South America is in my rearview mirror. (Epic montage video in the making...) But, I never got a chance to blog about the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, which lives up to the hype in so many ways. The following post is an epic, 50+ picture detailed account of the 4 day trek.

Where I Work: Incutex
I am one of a few lucky Remotes to live 1 block away from our shared workspace. It’s called Incutex, and we have pretty much taken over the 5th floor. (See above pic: view from my apartment rooftop)
Incutex is a co-working space that houses startup companies and entrepreneurs. It’s a secure, modern facility with fairly solid wifi---the most important ingredient for remote working soup. The wifi is not perfect, but guess what? It wasn’t even close to perfect back in the United States!
My fellow Remotes busy at work!
More Remotes: Kevin, Mr. PalmTree, (Lindsay, behind Mr. PalmTree) & Casey (left to right)
Incutex has a sweet lounge at the end of the hall called the TechPub. This is where we have Remote Year meetings & special events like ping pong tournaments!
Overall, I dig the workspace here in Córdoba and hope we get similar accommodations in the other cities!
My NutriBullet Bit the Bullet :[
1 checked bag, 1 carry-on and 1 personal item.
For 1 year of travel.
It makes sense to leave behind any non essentials. But, somehow, it seemed essential to bring my brand new NutriBullet blender. Cousin Kevin could not stop clowning me! Wicked weird, but what can I say? I like starting my day off smooth.
The NutriBullet blender is not that big, and fit into my checked bag, no problem. And, once I got some fresh frutas & vegetales here in Córdoba, it was GAME ON! ‘Who’s weird now?’, I thought, as I’m sippin’ sweet smoothness.
But, suddenly, my smoothie smelled like…smoke? And, then I saw...sparks? Uh oh. Apparently, my NutriBullet is no bueno with the voltage here in Argentina. Guess I should have read question #10 on the NutriBullet FAQs page.
On the bright side, even though the blender fit into my checked bag---it was a bit heavy. I knew I needed to shed some lbs before the next flight, and I'm not about to get rid of essentials like Power Bars & Gummi Bears.
