Work

I don't get paid for most of the work I do. It's a lousy business model.

For example, you can see my free videos on my YouTube channel, listen to my podcasts for free, read my product reviews for free, and read the hundreds of free articles on this website.      

If you’d like to help me to keep pumping out free content, then consider buying one of my products or services.      

For products, check out my books and videos.      

For those who want a more personal touch, check out my services, which include public speaking, life coaching, and travel guiding services.      

If you just want to donate a few bucks, that helps too! And you’ll get a thank-you gift for your donation.

The WanderLearn Series is about wandering throughout the world and sharing the lessons from the journey. When we wander out of our normal paths, we learn about the world and about ourselves. The purpose of this book series is to share those lessons. You may not have the time, money, or freedom to travel extensively, but if you're curious to read more than just a simple travelogue, this series is for you.

Hike Your Own Hike: 7 Life Lessons from Backpacking Across America

It's now available as an audiobook and an ebook!

The Hidden Europe: What Eastern Europeans Can Teach Us

Whereas Hike Your Own Hike focuses more on personal development, The Hidden Europe is much more about the journey. Although each chapter ends with a one-page summary of the practical lessons you can learn from an Eastern European country, it's really a travelogue on steroids. It's four times longer than Hike Your Own Hike, yet priced almost the same!
