So does your mom “get” what you do? It’s true that life happens. Congratulations on building a successful, sustainable business around your blog.

Travel, as amazing as it is, there is the other side of it. The side no one talks about. That is, it has the potential to just plain old wear you out. We spent 18 months on the road travelling by motorcycle from Alaska to Argentina and by the time we reached Tierra del Fuego I was buggered. All I dreamt of every day was going home. The amazing mountain vistas and glacial blue lakes of Patagonia meant nothing to me other than a thing or place I had to get past in order to finish the trip and go home. I wanted routine and stability. I wanted to live in a house. I wanted a soft bed and not a deflating sleeping mat god dammit! Now, six months into my life of routine, I just wish I was back out there. Riding those roads.

I’m interested in the new look, but I like the guest columnists–
I appreciate hearing other traveling voices/perspectives. Cheers!

Hi Matt:

Will you have meetups in Austin? I have been here a few years, and struggling to find meetups geared to travel.

In reply to Dan. I agree. You appreciate things more when they aren't part of your everyday life.

whilst moms are usually right, you already know your success has been because you did what you liked and although its good to listen to your audience, she only represents one opinion. Being more stationary isn’t a bad thing either as it will make your trips even more interesting in the future. Im an international airline pilot and because I travel so much, I take it for granted and its no longer exciting. So less travel = more quality imho
