I absolutely adore this place. It’s filled with funky bookshops, boats, quirky cafes, and plenty of people that fit into that scene. I arrived and met my couchsurfing host at the restaurant she works at “Sillys”. I had a very delicious Thai chicken pizza and then Allison wouldn’t let me pay for it! This is [...]
Me taking a picture of the Gutenberg Bible at the New York Public Library.
I still love New York.

There are certain things here that just are unlike anywhere I’ve ever been. The smells of the street, the sounds in the air, the friendliness of the people (yes, like rumours of the French being [...]
I’ve got a short layover from Salt Lake City before I head out to New York City. Denver Int’l is nice but like most airports, everything is way overpriced.
It’s nice to see some genetic diversity again. The past couple of days were good ‘man time’ American style. Staying with Cam, Josh, and Tony was [...]
Heading back out on the road today. It’s been a summer of varying degrees of good and bad. Not one job worked out the way they were expected to, I lost my father, and I found love and trust with my uncle, brother, sister-in-law, cousins, nephews, and nieces.
I rode horses, surfed lakes, climbed fake [...]
I just got some disappointing news. I’ll just post the email here:
Hi Vago,
I deeply apologize for not being able to get back to you sooner as I have been away for a few weeks. We have received replies from your references. Your application process went very well, I must say, and you are one [...]
I got the chance to take a little ride up into the mountains the other day on Peaches. I can see why people keep horses. Pretty cool to realize that I was riding on the same trails that many of my heroes, the mountain men, rode on back in the early 1800’s. Men like Jim [...]
Well, the house-sitting came to an end about five days ago. It was odd that it ended just as I started to the Ramadan fast, I suppose it’s better not to be alone while fasting. So I am back at my brother’s place where I have set up a tent in the backyard and sleep [...]
Just a quick update for those of you who are wondering. I’m still in Utah. I’m house-sitting for my cousin still. Aside from feeding the horses and chickens, I am spending about 18 hours a day online. Not a joke. I’m still convinced that I can learn to make enough money to live on and [...]
I’m in Ogden, Utah house sitting for my cousin and her boyfriend as they take an RV trip to the Southwest. It’s nice to be on my own for a little while. Don’t get me wrong, it has been really nice staying with people that I know and love, but there is always a little [...]
I really can’t wait to get on the road again. It’s nice here, I’m surrounded by good people. The food is good (too good maybe since I have gained some weight since getting back to the US), and I feel like I am figuring some important things out.
I just want to get back out [...]
