A Lifelong Journey Around the World

Current Project: Snapshots of New York City

A few years back I set off to travel the world. The journey enabled me to swim with Amazonian pink dolphins, summit the highest peak on the African continent, and sail below the Antarctica circle. The 1 1/2 year trip netted me a worldwide troop of friends and stories out the ying-yang. Currently I live in New York City and have decided to write about the energetic madness that occurs here on a daily basis.

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 [...]
