This coming spring I will launch my first book, called bluntly, The Big Book of Travel Tips. After years of traveling, writing tips, making mistakes, ever figuring out better ways of doing everything with an air of obsessiveness, I’ve figured it to be time to compile the fruit of such fiascoes into one complete package.

It was my intent to quickly assemble all the tips I’ve published online into a book, rush it into publication, and sell it ASAP, but this really didn’t happen. The book took on a life of its own, and has become something far bigger and more in depth than what I ever could have imagined it being. This book started out with the goal of being a standard travel manual, but has mutated into some far different, and, I hope, far better.

The Big Book of Travel Tips is coming soon.
