Tweet 5/31/09 2922.1 Miles by thumb in 7 days plus two days in Quebec City and two days in Sudbury. I arrived in Vancouver with a little over $12.50 Canadian and a blanket. I left Quebec City with $4 Canadian and no blanket. Nice trip. From the truck stop in Regina I spent all day [...]
Tweet 5/29/09 Dawn holds up the giant Sudbury nickel! For those of you following on twitter, some of this will be a repeat. Sudbury was great. The generosity and good nature of Dawn and Lia really took the edge off the road. I caught a ride with Dawn from Sudbury to Winnipeg, a drive of [...]
Tweet 5/24/09 I swear that I will send the books to everyone who has signed up for the email feed, but at the moment I am embarked upon perhaps the biggest adventure of my life. You have no idea how big Canada is until you try to cross it with no sleeping bag, no car, [...]
Tweet 5/22/09 I am in Quebec City now and I have $4 in Canadian. Since paypal has limited access to my account, I have no options but to get across Canada and down the west coast with the $4 I have. I’m not exactly outfitted for a long backpacking and hitchhiking trip. Since I have [...]
Tweet 5/22/09 Quebec City is absolutely great. As I said, before, I got here and hitched a ride from the airport since there wasn’t a bus and taxis were a whopping $37 flat rate. Ouch. Since my host has to work, I had most of the day to wander around Quebec City and become stunned. [...]
Tweet 5/26/09 I’ve been here with my new friends in Sudbury and as luck would have it am going to be able to catch a ride to Winnipeg tomorrow. It’s a 20 hour haul so definitely worth waiting for. Nice to be able to wash my clothes, hang out with new friends, and relax a [...]
Tweet 5/20/09 It was a fast couple of days in Ireland. I really enjoyed Dublin. It rained the whole time I was there, but I found the people to be incredibly nice, the food to be good, but slightly overcooked, and the Guinness to be divine in taste but too expensive to have more than [...]
Tweet 5/19/09 As I said before, getting out of Madrid was slightly hellish and after that anywhere would have been nice, but thankfully, Frankfurt was incredibly nice. The first night I stayed in the Frankfurt Hostel and after that I had a couch lined up with a couchsurfer named Josephine. The Chinese Garden in Frankfurt. [...]
Tweet 5/25/09 First of all let me admit that there is a certain amount of concern that I’ve felt about the advisability of this plan. Canada has 33 million people and is the second largest country by land mass in the world. To put this in perspective, New York has about 8 million people alone. [...]
Tweet 5/14/09 Okay, a fairly quick update. I’m not a big fan of Madrid…I didn’t see much of it, but here is the deal. I arrived at around 5 pm, went to my Couchsurfing host who had kindly left his keys under the door for me. Then I tried to take care of my paypal [...]
