Ag Steward of the Chortí Maya
Okay. This is a story I’ve published on AgWired. There’s MUCH more to the story, which I plan on publishing here, but it’s been quite a challenge with the intermittent internet. So, I’m just publishing what I have now and will publish more later… There is a group of indigenous people in Honduras that live [...]
Dazed in Denver
I’m not going to lie. When I arrived in Denver I felt like hadn’t just hit the wall, but had smashed into it withs such a force that I resembled a flattened cartoon character, a mess slithering down the red bricks into crumpled defeat. In just one month I had visited seven different cities. Make [...]
And on to the Big Rigs
Continued from Redwoods, Big Rigs and Glowing Grapes… Okay, back to that surprise. Turns out, Bruno lives in someone else’s backyard… in a shed turned tiny, cabin-styled home thingamagig. He has a toilet outhouse jimararig near his “room.” The room has electricity. He gets access to the bathroom and shower inside the house whenever needed. [...]
Redwoods, Big Rigs and Glowing Grapes
Lately, I’ve been telling myself money doesn’t matter. Well, my West Coast Cali adventures taught me just how much money really does… or doesn’t… matter to me. Back to that in a minute. Dustin and I set off for Cali in great spirits excited about the prospect of unknown adventure ahead of us. We hadn’t [...]
More Sights and Sounds from Chi-Town
Last week’s trip certainly wasn’t my first visit to Chicago. I’ve blogged about past Chi-town based adventures including my first-ever couchsurfing experiences, The Passion event, and coverage of the 2007 Peak Antifreeze Indy 300 (actual coverage of the race can be found on DomesticFuel.com). This time, the U.S. Africa Agribusiness Forum brought me to Chicago [...]
Sunrise Over the Grand Canyon
In 2006, my fairytale adventures truly took off. After spending 3 utterly enchanting months living and working in Italy, I came back to the U.S. But, the enchantment followed me home. My uncle Keith invited me to join him on his yearly retreat to Garland’s Lodge in Oak Creek Canyon, AZ. The rustic lodge with [...]
Gusts and Gales Sweep Through a Hidden Vietnam
It was as if we had suddenly stepped into an entirely different world. A wild world that threatened great unknown, but also promised treasures not yet dreamed of… if you would only venture on to explore it. We were on a bus traveling down a roughly paved road from Ho Chi Minh City to Mui [...]
A Hop, Skip, and a Jump to the Western Sahara
…just kidding. But, with some of these pictures I might just be able to fool you. I’ve never seen sand dunes before! But wait, I’m getting ahead of myself… again. Massimo and I bussed it to Mui Ne, a beach resort along the southern coast of Vietnam. Along the way, Massimo started chatting with a [...]
