South Dakota and the Bad Ass Badlands

February 25, 2019

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

December 18, 2017

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)

June 9, 2017

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!

June 3, 2017

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!
