Wade P.
Shepard has been on a continuous vagabond journey around the world for
more than 9 years- over forty countries on five continents. He has
wandered into the outback of Mongolia, lived in a monastery in Tibet,
ate a puppy in China, danced with mystics in India, thought he was a
gardener in Ireland, braved the souqs of North Africa, and got really
lost in Patagonia. Throughout all of this he has been working
diligently on his website,
www.VagabondJourney.com and
his travelogue, as well as pawning off various
travel articles to unsuspecting magazines for food
money.
