When people think of Leipzig the image of red brick and a formerly red government come to mind. Surely there is nothing [...]
Ready, Fire! Then Aim Later… 2008-03-05 05:47:07 READY
We’ve grown up with the good old saying, “Ready. Aim. Fire!” Well, something that I learned years ago that has played a big part in my life and how I approach things is to tweak this good old saying just a little bit.
Rather than “Ready. Aim. Fire,” Learn to “Ready. FIRE…then Aim later.” This is [...]
Hostel Beds in Europe Are Getting Scarce… 2008-03-02 05:30:57 Word from a couple of TravelPUNK backpackers, currently traveling through Europe

Quikpod. A MUST for Backpackers and Student Travelers! 2008-03-14 17:27:11 I love hearing travel adventures from backpackers and love to see the photos of the places they explored and people that they met. But one thing that irks me is that they often leave themselves out of the shot!
It’s understandable for the most part since they’re the ones taking the photo. Not everyone has the [...] Read more:Backpackers

Adventures from WorldWideMike: Ireland 2008-03-14 12:27:42 I had planned on leaving Saturday, but the angry ghost of Christopher Columbus again made things difficult for me. America West cancelled our 1130 Chicago flight (the one I was going to leave on). Which meant we sent all our passengers over to Southwest (my backup) overselling them. Our next flight wasn’t until 4:30 pm, [...] Read more:Adventures
