A Record of Tramping, Hitch-Hiking, and Backpacking the Planet Earth. Vagabond Field Notes, travel tips, images, and musings.

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.


Travel Blog - This is where I write daily of my travels, discoveries, and blunders. Essays focus mainly around sharing travel knowledge through my own experience of traveling. 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.   



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 Also included are unpublished articles, raw interviews, thick description notes, and research about whatever has stricken my fancy is this wide, wide world.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.

Hello and welcome to Vagabond Journey.com

My name is Wade and I have been traveling the world for the past eight years, through nearly 40 countries on five continents. This site is meant to be an interface for me to collect and share the travel information that I have experienced and learned while moving through the world.

On the left hand side of this page is the main navigation for Vagabond Journey.com. It separates the content of the site into a raw directory of travel information, Travel Photos, my travel blog/ travelogue, travel articles, vagabond field notes, travel tips, and travel and country information.

This site is still new, and I am still learning about web site construction from the ground up. If you have any information to add to any page on this site, please email me at VagabondSong@gmail.com.

Thank you very much for reading.

Walk Slow,

Wade

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
