Big Life From mid-January until last weekend I was on the road 53 days, something like 41,000 miles. Sitting next to someone on a plane or having lunch with a friend, inevitably I’ll hear, “So you travel a lot. That must be a lot of fun, right?” I don’t think anyone thinks traveling a lot…… Continue reading Big Life, Small Life

Travel as a Political Act
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piF5ikeveHA Watch the first 6-7 minutes of this presentation from Rick Steves, I think it’ll challenge your perceptions of what it means… …to travel. The “why” we need to travel beyond our borders is super important. …to share what we know to be true. I’ve watched and loved Rick Steves show on PBS for years, I’d heard…… Continue reading Travel as a Political Act
Oh no. I’m becoming one of those people
Last year, I traveled about 25% of the days. This year, I have more individual trips but fewer miles and days away from home because of a strategic change in how I travel. (More quick trips, less stringing together 2-3 trips into a really long trip.) Between now and June 1st I have 10 trips…… Continue reading Oh no. I’m becoming one of those people

Two Days in Joshua Tree
Kristen and I were fortunate enough to spend a couple days in Wonder Valley, near Joshua Tree National Park this week. It was a great way to recuperate together from the insanity of fall’s busyness. Specifically, it’s so important for us to spend time as a couple away from the kids. Since we don’t have…… Continue reading Two Days in Joshua Tree
Where in the world is Adam?
Saturday begins an 8 week sprint to Thanksgiving. Between now and then I’ll be away from home roughly 50% of the time, generally gone Thursday-Sunday. It’s a time of year my partner in crime is affectionately calling the insanity. Every single thing I’m doing I’m excited about. It’s wonderfully insane. So where am I going?…… Continue reading Where in the world is Adam?
10 Things I’m Looking Forward to about My Trip to Zimbabwe
In the lead-up to my trip to Zimbabwe this week, here are 10 things I’m excited about.
Back From the Brink
I just turned on my computer for the first time in 7 days. It still feels a bit funky. My fingers are stretching to familiar places but typing feels totally odd. Yesterday, I woke up to cuddle a freezing Jackson back to sleep. Today, he woke up in his crib to a warm bowl of…… Continue reading Back From the Brink
Yosemite in HD
This video has me all pumped to head up to Yosemite. The countdown is on! 2 weeks.
Relaxing in Rosarito
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6UUwnK8AMs One of the commitments that I made for 2012 is to rest better. I know, that sounds silly. But with all the stress and craziness of 2011 I forgot to take more than a few sporadic days off. That’s not healthy or sustainable. With that in mind, and Kristen’s parents in town for the week,…… Continue reading Relaxing in Rosarito
