Traveling the Lonely Planet Trail

It's not something widely mentioned. However, get a few travelers gathered around a fire or in a circle at the hostel bar, and you'll start to hear it talked about: the surprising regularity at which travelers run into each other. Often these reunions happen several times over the course of a tri…

Caye Caulker – Belize’s Hidden Gem

When I talk about Belize - Caye Caulker (pronounced Key-Caulker) - is the place that quickly comes to mind as my favorite.  The somewhat sleepy island village is a backpacker's dream.  Beautiful water, exciting day tri…

Shipwrecked on the way to San Pedro

Dos Ojos, Tulum, Akumal and Four Guys in a Car

**Make sure to catch the video [here]! Despite forgetting to bring a watch/alarm clock/time piece of any sort waking up before 9AM was easy. Between the heat, the sun and the humidity it's almost impossible to be anything but a morning person in this part of the world. With the sandy grit of …

The Packing Video – Belize and Mexico in December

  ***Update as of 1/13/09 I have returned to the states and will be doing a re-cap. The above list needs significant commentary as I overpacked/packed for a climate that was far colder than what I encountered. Th…

The Wicklow Mountains Tour

Nate roused me out of a deep sleep at 8AM. After slowly rubbing the dreams out of my eyes I headed to the shower...still half asleep I walked into the men's shower room and came face to face with a girl putting on her…

In 2007 I set out on a three-month solo trip through Europe, in 2011 I re-located to Copenhagen. I’ve been authoring VirtualWayfarer ever since with a focus on sharing stories, musings, and advice through a visually and narrative rich format. I’m also the author of Practical Curiosity: The Guide to Life, Love & Travel and the inventor of the MistDefender lens cloth.

I document my travels on a Sony A7RV and iPhone 16Pro.
