This is a simple one. In my never ending search for ways to get the best deals on all things travel related, I recently came across a website that makes it remarkably easy to get massive hotel discounts. The website, Club 1 Hotels, resells hotel rooms that were purchased in bulk by corporations. When bought in bulk, the rooms are purchased at much lower rates than what the public can get. Then, when ... (c) Wandering Earl - Read entire story here. … [Read more]
There is a saying that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and expecting a different result.

One year ago this morning, we were sitting in our bus parked in Alabama watching Hurricane Irma make landfall in the Florida Keys.

Welcome back to Thrillable Hours, my interview series about alternative jobs for lawyers. I have been sitting on this and other Thrillable Hours interviews during my recovery, and I am excited to get back to them.

My life as a former lawyer is a big part of how I got to where I am today. I want to keep providing these... (c) Legal Nomads - Read entire story here. … [Read more]
Full-time RV travel is rewarding beyond the obvious. The freshness of experience and opportunities for learning and personal growth abound, but some of the greatest benefits come about from its challenges. Since we tend to move frequently, hardly a routine is established before it is modified. This regular state of flux seems to enliven even the most mundane everyday experiences. Regular travel also requires considerable energy and focus, which can be exhausting but is frequently offset ... (c) The RV Nomads - Read entire story here. … [Read more]
Hobo CEO Chris Kirkland speaking at Pecha Kucha Tokyo Chris Kirkland is one Hobo CEO we can all learn from.

? Most luggage seems like it’s better designed to look good in a storefront than actually be used for traveling. Considering how bags are handled by airline staff, generally overstuffed, and often too heavy to avoid fees, you would hope someone would make a bag that’s light and durable – not to mention sleek and efficient.

I was about three months into my journey, sitting at an outdoor cafe in Phnom Penh and drinking a beer, monopolizing the wifi. It was rush hour, 5pm, and as I was hanging out I saw a full-grown elephant come walking down the street, minded by her trainer and wearing shoes made from recycled tires. The same thing happened the next day. And the day after that. And that was when I realized how much my life had changed: I... (c) Johnny Vagabond - Read entire story here. … [Read more]

Fly Geyser in Nevada on the edge of Black Rock Desert, was an accidental creation in the search for geothermal energy. During a well drilling in 1964, water with dissolved minerals started rising out of the hole. After the excavation, either the boring was left unplugged or was not capped correctly. Over time a travertine mound was created, with the mineral laden water. The rocks would become covered in multiple hues of green and red.

I recently travelled to Northern Ireland with the sole purpose of tracking down 24 amazing moments travellers can experience…one for each hour of the day. My very first trip a few years back had been spent exploring Belfast and venturing up to the Causeway Coast on a day trip, but I had left barely scratching the surface.

If you’re anything like my wife, your day can’t start properly without coffee.

Something I avoided for far too long was purchasing any clothing marketed for “travel.” I found it quite silly that a shirt or pair of pants could benefit my comfort while traveling and laughed when I looked at the prices of most of them at the local outdoors store.
