Jib jib faloozy….

In Morocco this is what street kids say as they hold out their hands or if said angrily it's how thugs demand money...I'm taking the tone of the street kids...(and giving away my latest book for free) ;)

The Fool’s journey

4/28/09

Recently I was couchsurfing with my friend Rafael in Brussels and we had a great conversation about Tarot cards. One of the reasons we hit it off, I think, is because of a mutual appreciation for the zero card in the deck. In France it is called Le Mat, in some decks it is called [...]

The tickets

4/26/09

These are the tickets from this last little galivant, most of them anyway.

First of all, let me say that I am safe and sound writing this from Hanane’s bedroom in Morocco. This was a very nice little jaunt through Europe. Just as a quick recount, I left my house in November and couchsurfed with [...]

Vagobond in Italy

I left Belgium on Ryan Air from “Brussels South” airport. It was my first time flying Ryan Air and as an airline, it is by far the worst I have flown. I booked the tickets through a promotion they had where the flight from “Brussels” to “Milano” was 10 Euros and the flight from “Milano” [...]

Vagobond in Belgium

4/24/09

Let me get this out of the way, I expected absolutely nothing from Belgium. On the way from Rotterdam the train passed by Antwerp and I had nothing but a sense of dread and foreboding. The place just seemed evil. I’m not joking, the smog, the shape of the cathedrals, it just seemed like I [...]

Vagobond in the Netherlands

4/23/09

The bus ride from Paris to Amsterdam was fairly uneventful but one thing I did notice was that as soon as we crossed into the Netherlands, there were bicycles everywhere. I’m not really into marijuana or prostitutes, but bicycle culture is something I can really dig.

The bus was about two hours late and I arrived [...]

Vagobond in Paris

4/20/2009

Paris is good for families!

Paris is like a whore you are in love with, you know that she will take your money and cheat you, her promises will be broke, but you still think she is beautiful and know that you will be back.

I saw much of the tourist Paris without going to the Louvre, [...]

Vagobond dream machine

4/18/09

Perhaps the highlight of this trip (with the possible exception of panhandling in Paris) was having the chance to make a friendship that has existed only virtually for the past several years into a real life one.

My visit with Isabelle Aubert Baudron and then spending some time with her ex-husband, Jean Louis was the stuff [...]

Panhandling in Paris

4/17/09

I should have gotten a picture but it didn’t work out. I was walking around today penniless and found a pretty nice suit coat and was already wearing my fedora. I reached in my pocket and found my harmonica and thought waht the hell, maybe Paris will take care of me if I put my [...]

Paris is a whore

4/17/09

My banks have essentially raped me in Paris. Here is the latest example:

I need to get from Paris to Rotterdam in Holland. I checked online and the price for a bus, the cheapest fare was 35 Euros. Well, having run into problems before, I usually carry a little bit of emergency cash. In this case [...]

The French countryside

I’m proud of catching the Madonna in these pictures, can you find her?

I left Bordeaux to head to my friend Izzy’s in the small city of Thouars but the only way to get there was to have a five hour wait in Bordeaux or to wait for five hours somewhere else along the way. I [...]
