Hello and Welcome to Vagabond Journey.com

Howdy, my name is Wade and I'm a traveler. For the past nine years I have been traveling the world - 40+ countries on five continents. What follows are my impressions of the world as I move through it: the musings of the wanderlust. This is the record of my vagabond journey around the world. Walk slow, Wade VagabondSong@gmail.com
 

Wade is now in New York City finding misadventure in the turbulence of an urban jungle.

Travel Inspiration Well

The Travel Inspiration Well is a collection of quotes, stories, and anecdotes from travel literature that has the intention of inspiring the traveler to keep going on long journeys or to take the first steps. These quotes have been copied directly from my own travel notebooks, and have always kept me inspired whenever the path ahead looks a little dark, as well as joyous when the going is good. Travel is for the romantic.  

Great Travel Quote:

"Of the gladdest moments, me thinks, in human life, is the departing upon a distant journey into unknown lands. Shaking off with one effort the fetters of Habit - the leaden weight of Routine - the cloak of carking Care, and the slavery of Home - man feels once more happy."

- Richard Francis Burton

Directory of Travel Information by Topic  - This is an index, or collection if you will, of travel topics that I find of interest. From hitchhiking, discussions of travel gear, camping and mountain climbing, to bicycle travel, this is where I stash the information, links, and articles that I have been collecting.
 


Travel Photos - The world at large. A large collection of travel photos from nearly ever corner of the globe. This index is always growing fast, as I like to publish fifty photos a day, so it is a good way to observe what I pass through in my travels. These photos are meant to represent what is ordinary and extraordinary about the world that we live in.
 
Travelogue - From June of 2008 this is where I write daily of my travels, discoveries, and blunders. For posts from 2004 to 2008 go to Song of the Open Road Travel Blog.  Essays focus mainly around sharing travel knowledge through my own experience of traveling the world. Stories, yarns, conversations, hearsay, and jokes round out this travel blog. This writing is meant, more than anything else, to be just a small peep-hole upon the planet at large. Feel free to ask questions or leave comments, knock me to the ground or help me back up to my feet. This is just a share of experience, knowledge, and backcountry humor from a man in perpetual motion. Go to Travel Blog Directory to view all posts.  


Travel Articles - Formal writings for publications. I have previously written for Cafe Abroad, Glimpse, and Abroad View magazines, as well as published articles in various spheres of the internet world. Also included are unpublished articles, raw interviews, thick description notes, and research about whatever has stricken my fancy is this wide, wide world. 


Vagabond Field Notes - Traveler tracks left for other travelers. This is where I leave my tracks for the assistance (or avoidance) of other travelers. I average less than $15 a day while traveling - these fieldnotes are meant to share the places that I have found cheap or free meals, beds, internet, and fun.


Travel Tips - This is a collection of tips, advice, and mistakes learned from that could be of use to travelers. Take these tips and use them . . . or just leave them where they lay.



Travel and Country Information - This is where I share my travel history as well as collect information on various travel destinations.


 

Travel Questions - Thinking about traveling? Unsure about your first trip? Do you have questions about anything that is travel related? Want some reassurance, inspiration, advice? Then please ask away! This is a forum of questions that readers have asked me, which I have answered and published here to be of assistance to other travelers. Send all questions to Wade at VagabondSong@gmail.com.

Book Reviews- Travel literature reviewed, talked about, and discussed. From the Vagabond Journeys of Harry Franck to the Romantic out-pourings of Halliburton to the voyages of discovery and wisdom of Richard Burton, travel writing explored and reveled in.
