Last year, I released my book on how to successfully make money from your website so you can break out of the cubicle and fund your travels or just have more time to do what it is you like. Since then, I’ve experimented with a lot of different methods and techniques, learned new things, plus [...]

Thirteen Other Great Travel Websites
July 3, 2010 – 12:51 pm
As I mentioned in a previous post, last week was the 2nd annual travel blogging conference. Besides having an awesome video that re-inspired me and being a great excuse for 250 travelers to party together, it was also a chance to meet some of the other travelers I spent most of my day talking to [...]
Calling All Interns
May 27, 2010 – 2:09 pm
At the end of last year, I got an intern. I had decided that there were a number of projects I needed to do (such as building my travel guides section) and I couldn’t do it alone. I put out a call for an intern and expecting two or three people to apply, I instead [...]

Many times questions appear in my inbox in bulk as though everyone thinks of the same questions at the same time, whether it is what is my secret or how to stay motivated. Lately, everyone wants to know one thing: “how do they become a travel writer like me?”

Balancing Work and Play in Bruges
September 29, 2009 – 3:14 pm
Colin Farrell said that to like Bruges, you must either be a farmer or a retard. To him, Bruges was hell. But I disagree. For me, Bruges was very beautiful and very boring. I’ve wanted to see Bruges for awhile, and that movie only increased that desire. But Bruges, as beautiful as it is, [...]
Is Travel Blogging Real Journalism?
August 17, 2009 – 2:54 pm
One of the most interesting discussions at TBEX was about whether travel blogging was journalism. Was this online art just as good as print media? Were bloggers just as thoughtful, meticulous, and well researched as traditional writers? The infamous Chris Elliott said he saw no difference between print and online content. Blogging was just digital [...]
