Update November 2015: After three years of more testing in life's most difficult environs, I've decided that I prefer the ExOfficio underwear to the ScottEvest travel underwear. I've worn both pairs equally--the ExOfficio travel boxers have held up surprisingly well, but the ScottEvest pair's elastic weakened and frayed and I had to throw them out. ExOfficio is my pick for best men's travel ...
Foto Friday | Nude Protest in Mexico City
Mexico is no stranger to civil disobedience. When people object to policies or leadership, they take to the streets, en masse, especially the poor and disenfranchised that feel like they have nothing to lose. I respect that and wish that in the US, where we are very safe expressing our dissent, people would take to the streets more. We're comfortable with online protest, the "Twitter revolution" ...
5 Reasons Why You Should Use Public Transportation When You Travel
When I was younger, buses and trains meant the freedom to get out and see the world before I had a car of my own.

And when we made this, I was at my friend's ...
McKayla Is Not Impressed With Where We Travel
Last night, Kevin forwarded me an internet meme going around, a Tumblr site called McKayla Is Not Impressed. It's devoted a photo taken of US gymnast McKayla Maroney, biting her lip in disappointment after winning a silver medal. Check it out, it's pretty funny. I figured, now that that I have mad photoshop skills, I should start to contribute to the mindless garbage on the internet with a few ...
Exploring Pinochet’s Controversial Legacy at the Museum of Memory and Human Rights
When we decided to go to Chile, I realized I didn’t know all much about the country. I knew that the people had endured a dictatorship for many years. I knew his name (and made the association that Pinochet = “bad”), but I didn’t understand the extent of what the country had experienced or the controversy that still stands. So when we arrived in Santiago, Chile, we looked up the Museo de la ...
