Unplugged & Climbing for a Week
Dan and I are headed to hike Mount Kilimanjaro tomorrow — and won’t be returning until October 6th. So that means no email, Twitter, Facebook, or blogging for me. This 7 day trip is costing us about $2,000 apiece (a little less I think), but I’m beyond stoked for the adventure! I can’t remember the last time I went 7 days without internet, but I’m looking forward to the break. Catch you upon our return. [Photo via BlogCherry]
For Those Who Want to Figure Out How to Make Money Online
I get asked all the time what I do and how I make money online, both from friends back home and from travelers I meet on the road. There are no shortcuts to building the network or knowledge base necessary — both require your time — but it can be done. For those that want to figure out how to make money online and are possibly thinking I can help you get started, I thought I’d put together a short post with some details on how to best position yourself with the necessary background knowledge for opportunities I might be able to connect you with in the future. Understand why & how businesses are utilizing … Continue reading
Are You Getting Ripped Off Traveling?
From Y Travel Blog There has not been one country- even first world- I have visited where I have not been ripped off or treated poorly by some of the locals. So what. Big deal. Why should this upset me, unless I was so egotistical to think that life revolved around me, my needs and feelings? It doesn’t. Well said.

If Only I Could Afford This
6. Little Jennie Ranch (above) Location: Bondurant, WY For Sale: $69,500,000 This pretty little girl made our list last year, coming in at #6 last year, too. Little Jennie is a 3,016-acre ranch and is considered the crown jewel of Wyoming working-cattle ranches and has been in operation since the 1950s. Adjacent to the snow-capped Gros Ventre Mountain Range, it has miles of trout steams and is only 40 minutes from Jackson Hole, WY. In addition to the 4,000-square-foot lodge are four guest cottages, a pool, barns, employee houses and two guest cabins. > See more photos of Little Jennie Ranch Too bad I don’t have 70 million to buy it.

Interest Owed on the National Debt
Interest owed on the federal debt is 1,000,000,000 (billion) every 46 hours Really? Pardon my French, but are you fucking kidding me? Sorry, the national debt is one of the things that just makes me sick to my stomach every time I think about it. Why does no one bat an eye when they think about this? I don’t know about you, but it doesn’t sit well with me that we’re going to be leaving future generations with a monstrous debt — that’s getting worse, NOT better, by the day — they have to deal with. And that’s most certainly going to happen unless people start voting for politicians who will act in the long … Continue reading
