Introduction

6/26/2013 - Milwaukee, WI

"All my malicious instincts were dead within me; and as America faded out of sight, I think a spirit of charity rose up in their place that was as boundless, for the time being, as the broad ocean that was heaving its billows about us. I wished to express my feelings —I wished to lift up my voice and sing; but I did not know anything to sing, and so I was obliged to give up the idea. It was no loss to the ship, though, perhaps." - Mark Twain, The Innocents Abroad

I'm traveling for about 5 months. I will post many small notes on this blog. I'll share pictures of places I visited, with a couple of thoughts about them. It won't be profound... I may quote or link to people that are better writers than me.

This is a blog for friends and family to keep up with me. If you're looking for someone who's a heavy duty travel writer, I recommend Legal Nomads.
