Illinois – Footgolf
September 5th, 2015
So far, I’ve managed to enter a state, enjoy my time there, and continue on, never returning. But, as I also said earlier, I suck at planning. Fortunately, I have some of the best friends a guy can ask for, and even with short notice, they’re willing to open up their home and schedule to […]
Test Weekend
June 30th, 2015
Cut off for trail head. Slept here for the night This past weekend, June 27th and 28th, 2015, I took my finalized camper car out for a test run before going off to see America. To test it, I decided to combine it with another item on my list that I’ve wanted to complete for […]
Car Conversion! – Part 2 of 2
June 25th, 2015
If you haven’t seen it, I’d recommend part 1 where I tore my car apart to create a sleeping platform. Now that I had the platform made, it was secure and level, it was time to figure out how to arrange everything to maximize space and not cram myself with too much stuff. The first […]

Risk, Reward, and Pushing Yourself
June 20th, 2015
Recently, an innovator by the name of Dean Potter passed away while practicing one of his many crafts, wing suit flying. If you haven’t read the articles, a quick Google search will yield plenty. But one idea that consistently arose again and again was the idea of risk, and that he finally pushed too far. […]

Some dreams start out as dreams from when we were kids. We fantasize about the day they’ll be fulfilled and train for years to be ready for it. Other dreams start with an impulse, grow to become nearly impossible, and are eventually…completed. Six months ago for Christmas, i was given a Backpacker magazine, with the […]
What a “Week Off”
June 1st, 2015
You make plans in hopes of doing something fun and exciting. You then make more plans for after the first plans so the excitement continues. But when the first plans fall through, what are you left to do? I found myself with a whole week to kill, stuck in Rochester, New York. Now normally this […]
Starting at the End
May 24th, 2015
It seems fitting to start at the end. A few days ago on May 23rd, 2015, I was fortunate enough to graduate from Rochester Institute of Technology with a Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering with an emphasis in Aerospace and a concentration in Communication. That’s an insanely long way to say I’m good with numbers, bad […]
