A Lifelong Journey Around the World

Currently in New York City

A few years back I did a little traveling. I climbed Kilimanjaro, took a boat ride to Antarctica, and was stung by a scorpion in Colombia.

So far the weather in Ushuaia has been a delightful mix of rain, high winds, and more rain. The actual city is situated on an island in Tierra Del [...]

Patagonia: The Perito Moreno Glacier outside of El Calafate

Posted by Dave Ford

The Internet in Patagonia blows the big one. Now, I realize that there is nothing down here. I realize that it is a beautiful place, full of glaciers, and penguins, and sheep farmers. However, there is no reason that I should not be able to send an email in 5 minutes. As far as computers [...]
