Happy Valentines Day from Vagobond!
Blog: Vagobond.com - 15 February 2011
I took a night bus to Sofia, a night train to Istanbul, and a night flight to Casablanca followed by a day train to Fes, a grand taxi to Sefrou, and a petit taxi to the Souidi house and I got to deliver the flowers myself. From the smile on her face (and of course her words and kisses), I think my Valentines surprise did the trick. The only problem is ...how the hell am I ever going to top that next year?

Vagobond in Bulgaria – Part 3 – Sofia Statues and Parks
Blog: Vagobond.com - 13 February 2011
Travel around the world can't be considered complete without visiting at least one former or current communist nation. I've been to a few of them now though many would argue that China is about as communist as the USA. As an anarchist, it strikes me as sad to think of the hope that went into the monuments and art of communism and the tragedy of death and despair that usually emerged from it.

Blog: BanskoBlog - 13 February 2011
Bansko ski property is nothing without furniture. However, it’s a furniture minefield, and there’s a battlefield littered with casualties.

Blog: Vagobond.com - 12 February 2011
Travel around the world and try to write about it as you go and you are sure to miss something. One of the hardest parts of travel for me is finding the time to just stop, chill out, and write about my adventures. I wonder if travel insurance covers that?

Vagobond in Bulgaria – Part 1 – Sofia Tourist Sites
Blog: Vagobond.com - 10 February 2011
During the time I traveled in Sofia, I managed to see and do a huge number of things. I can't fit it all in one, two, or even three posts. To sum up, let me just say that Sofia was a great place for me to visit. On the one hand that's cool, but on the other, when the first act of a play is awesome, it makes the rest a bit harder to appreciate.

The Greatest Vagabond – Ibn Battuta – Moroccan Vagabond
Blog: Vagobond.com - 9 February 2011
The greatest adventurer of all time for me is the Moroccan vagabond, Ibn Battuta. He not only traveled everywhere in his known world, but he wrote about it in ways that no one before him had. Ibn Battuta's journey lasted 29 years, so by Moroccan standards, my wife should be understanding of this current journey I'm on.
