Weird Activities and Awkward Encounters at home and abroad
I’ll admit that my first few days in Africa were probably my favorite, (mostly because I met these guys that you can read about here and here) but after a few days on safari, and one night back in Arusha, I headed to Zanzibar. It was great because Zanzibar is about the most exotic sounding…
After an early morning game drive and watching lions eat breakfast at Ndutu, we headed to the airstrip for a short flight to Seronera in another tiny plane. I’d gotten a little less scared of them by this point. Once at the Seronera airstrip we met up with a driver from ANG’ATA Camp in a…
After approximately 29 hours of travel I arrived at Kilimanjaro around 9pm. The airport was shockingly small (or so I thought before I had been to the bush “airports” in the area). It did make customs easy to navigate. I had been a little wary about waiting until arrival to get my visa, but the…

Continuing my cheap U.K. theme, I wanted to talk about the one weird side trip I made while in London. I went to Brighton for a visit to the beach. Apparently I picked an inopportune time to go, because a quick google search for information yields gorgeous pictures of clear skies over a sun soaked…
If you’ve read my last post, you’re probably pretty impressed with what a travel genius I am for being able to cheaply and directly infiltrate the British people and exploit their travel opportunities. If not, you should go ahead and read that before I admit to all the stupid things I did after making the…
The hardest part of international travel on a budget is getting there. Finding cheap flights can be daunting, especially if you have a job or other obligations to work around and can’t be as flexible on dates. I was faced with this very predicament this summer when invited to London at the most expensive…
What better way to finish off a Halloween night than by revisiting some of my more bizarre travels? The following are 10 of the eeriest places I’ve visited. 1- Carnton Plantation, Franklin, TN The subject of my last post, a civil war era plantation that was used as a hospital during the battle of Franklin…
