I love Japan. I’ve only spent a little bit of time here – but in that short period, I’ve learned that it offers everything I want from a place. The landscapes, the cities, the food, the people and culture, the technology, and much more. I’ve said it before – if Japan were the first country…
The trip was far too short but the fact of the matter is, it was longer and further than most people will ever travel. I circumnavigated the globe in 42 days – leaving Hawaii for Australia, then Bali in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Dubai, Morocco, France, Iceland, New York City and now back to…
How Am I Paying for All of This? I’m living large. I’ve never lived this luxuriously in my entire life. I’m also sharing my adventures and people who know me, know that I’ve never been wealthy – certainly not wealthy enough to be sitting in first class lounges, staying in luxury resorts, taking safaris, and…

There are some big issues in Hawai’i. They were issues when I left in 2008 and they have gotten worse. In some cases much worse. Don’t get me wrong – I am plenty happy to have the bathwater with the baby – but as a logical person, I can’t help looking beyond band-aids and seeing…
Early this morning, the worlds newest nation was born. South Sudan.
My friend James Zosobo is the guest blogger this week as he takes us to Huntington Beach and tells us how to have a great beach day. If you would like to share a guest blog about life, travel, or fulfillment, drop me an email at vago@vagobond.com. When it gets hot the beach is the…
As I get ready for this trip, I realize just how much the world has changed since the days when traveling was for the most part, a solitary affair. I’m meeting interesting people that are on interesting missions that are being broadcast, blogged, or shared with the world through the internet just about everywhere I…
