Myanmar (or Burma) is one of those countries plagued with political strife, abject poverty and extreme oppression. For some reason I’ll never be able to explain, these countries greatly appeal to me as a traveler. I guess I like comparing what I experience there to what I hear back home on the news. I also like representing my country, showing them that not all Americans are imperialist rednecks trying to rape, pillage and burn everything in sight. Therefore, Myanmar was another place I had to check out. So, check out I did.

As we clattered through the Kyzylkum Desert in the battered shared taxi, the driver reached across and offered me some pills. When I asked him what they were, he shrugged.

About one month after I left the east coast of China on my way to Turkey, I found myself in the former Soviet Republic of Kazakhstan- Almaty, Kazakhstan to be precise. It should come as no surprise to anyone who has ever traveled to, or has any knowledge of, western China that by the time I finally made it to the former capital of the country, I rolled into town dirty and mangy to say the least.

They say if you survive the 1st month of combat, you will be OK... HELL NO! I have to tell you, I almost didn't make it home to my pregnant wife and unborn son. My 21 year old body should have been shipped in a cheap wooden crate with the American flag draped over it just like many other fallen soldiers from the Forgotten War.

Latin America, summer of 2007- the journey that triggered my travel addiction. Sao Paulo to Mexico City entirely by land. Two continents, 13 countries and a list of numerous insane experiences. The only possessions accompanying me: a raggedy school back pack stuffed with a few dirty clothes, three Kodak disposable cameras, a pen, a journal and barely enough money to eat 2 meager meals a day. The following is just one of the many strange encounters of my trip.
