About Wade and Vagabond Journey.com

Travel history:

I began traveling almost as soon as I turned 18, and went traveling around the east and mid-west of the USA in a funny looking green van that was older than dirt, but chugged on full of me and my band none the less. We played our songs at a Turk’s brothel in Connecticut where the old guys at the bar just yelled at us to be quiet, to one kid in a bowling alley who enthusiastically break danced in front of us in Illinois, and to a room full of timber punks on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, who attacked pop machines with baseball bats and like playing with chainsaws and blow torches. Successfully getting through these trials whetted my taste for the Open Road, and I have been traveling ever since.

I am now on year 10 of my travels, and I have ventured through over 45 countries on five continents. Sometimes I move slowly, and sometimes I move fast. I have traveled through China for one and a half years, India for eight months, Nepal, Southeast Asia, Mongolia, Japan, North Africa, Central and South America, for nearly two years, Europe, and the Middle East.

FAQ:

How do you make money to keep traveling for so long?

I work. For the first seven years of my travels I worked as a professional archaeologist for around 3 months a year and then traveled the rest of the time. I also intermittently work in other forms of employment during this time, such as teaching English and I did a stint as a gardener in Ireland.

Recently, I have been making a living off of journalism projects and this website. Most of my travel funds are now earned through publishing Vagabond Journey.com, and most of this amount comes from reader contributions.   

Travel is my passion. This Vagabond Journey.com site is my attempt to revel, and reveal, the lifestyle that I truly love. I hope that one day you will join me.

Walk Slow,

Wade
