The interview goes live TONIGHT! Tune in to Bike Touring Bliss at 9PM Eastern. You can even call in to join the discussion [...]
You’ve seen Russ & Laura of PathLessPedaled.com profiled here on Part Time Vagabond, but I thought it was fitting to have them close out Road Trip Month with a different perspective of life on the road. Long term road tripping has a unique set of challenges, but slow it down with only two wheels, and a whole new world — good [...]
There’s a new TV show on the History Channel called American Pickers, where two scruffy, Laurel and Hardy looking guys travel around America looking for treasure among our junk. I love this show, mostly because I’d love to be doing their jobs. You know, if I had the audacity, determination, and sheer will to do what they do every day. [...]
Last week, Part Time Vagabond was featured on the new blog “Travel Blog Sites,” which is run by the same people who run TravelPod. I’m really honored to be counted in such esteemed company! Woo! We got a nifty badge in the sidebar of PTV now too. Looks good!
I am a sucker for time lapse videos. People are shooting some fantastic footage of landscapes, cityscapes, and everything in between. The video below is from a Vimeo group called “The Good Stuff,” and showcases some gorgeous time lapse footage from around the world. Shot by Sean Stiegemeier during his travels to locations like Prague, Japan, Banff, Utah, Oregon, and [...]

Stuff. Everybody has it, and most of us have too much. It hides in corners and under beds. It clutters our closets and our drawers. We hide stuff in pantries and under sinks and hell, right out in the open. Knicknacks, curios, trinkets, souvenirs, and thingamajigs fill our lives, and because we clean and neaten and straighten, most times we [...]
Some people are homebodies. Creating a close network of family and friends in a relatively small area keeps them grounded and safe. They have a local community to support them. This works for most people in life. But some people find that their lives are lacking something in their current situation. Their worlds have been shaken up, and they need [...]
This week, one of my lifelong friends contributed her latest adventure to The Five. Angela Paulone is an experienced teacher and writer (her blog is The Writer’s Corner) who — after leaving a highly stressful job last year — made the decision to completely change her life and move to Colorado. Angela and I pretty much grew up together; we [...]
