On August 24, the great Trading848 Summer of 2017 experiment came to an end. Tonight I will be boarding a red-eye back to NYC to be reunited with friends, family and my fiancĂ©! While "end" is written, what is intended is the close of a chapter. The last night of the tour, our Warmshowers host... Continue Reading →
I wrote this post while sitting at Oregon State University in Corvallis listening to lectures about a pending eclipse. At this point, I am 95% (3900 miles) in to my journey which has taken just over 3 months. In November I decided that I would undertake a cross country trip, in March I partnered with...

Currently sleepless in Hood River, Oregon, I finish up some cell phone blogging as a light rain pushes cool air into the room. In four hours or so, I will embark for Portland, the largest city visited since Kansas City. I intend to embrace the cycling culture there, relax and do some sightseeing by bike... Continue Reading →

There was an open ended warm showers host that... Continue Reading →

After a week on the road and a little inflammation in the knee, I arrived at my dear friends, the Boutcher's home in Sterling, VA. I haven't seen Eric and Elise since Memorial Day of 2016. At that time they just had their son, Dean, and with the recent addition of twins, are up to... Continue Reading →
Where does the time go?! I have made great progress this week, up to roughly 230 miles. I am a day behind when it comes to geographical location. The weather was a bit off and some possible tendinitis in my knee were the main culprits, but in the end I think it worked out for... Continue Reading →
