From my friends at the Maine Island Trail Association, a holiday card slideshow. I can’t wait to buy a kayak and a membership, and get to camp out on these amazing islands!
With Christmas fast approaching, life is getting pretty busy here at the lodge (aka, my downtown Portland apartment). I’ll be taking a few days off to visit with my family in Connecticut and hopefully get some inspiration for new PTV content. Look for a year-end wrap up next week, and then new content in the new year! Happy 2010! – [...]
The Five is a new feature on Part Time Vagabond that showcases an adventure, big or small, in five – and only five – photos with text (or minutes of video, minutes of sound, etc). Think of it as though you’re presenting your trip to a group of really interested friends; you tell a story with each picture, but you [...]
I’ve been thinking about lightweight, low budget travel lately, trying to figure out how I can get some trips in over the winter despite my low income.

My favorite part comes in [...]

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be posting some videos of an interview I did with Russ & Laura from PathLessPedaled.com. The interview was great, and I’m editing several segments for your viewing pleasure. I’m also in talks with several other amazing people who I’m going to interview and feature on PTV. In the meantime, here’s a little taste of [...]
The gift-giving holidays are fast approaching, and if you haven’t picked something up for the traveler in your life just yet, you’re close to being in trouble. Fortunately, I’ve found some great gifts you (er, I mean…the traveler in your life) will love to receive, all for under $25. L.L. Bean Trailblazer Headlamp I just bought one of these little [...]
According to this New York Times article, Mariah Media, the publishers of Outside Magazine, just bought the Resort Sports Network and will be transforming it to the Outside Television Network. I’m interested to see what kind of programming they put on the network and where it will be available. The last time a television network tried for outdoors programming (the [...]
