I just wrapped up my journey biking down the Katy Trail in Missouri, a converted rail line that is the longest (and in some ways the easiest) of its type. It goes most of the way across the state, but I only did a 105-mile stretch of it over a few days, based on where [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Having a book out on the world&#8217;s cheapest destinations makes me a bit opinionated about which countries offer the best bang for your budget. While those options stay relatively constant, there are fluctuations from year to year, or even in the space of a month sometimes. The formulas guiding economics and spending are always receiving [...]

I&#8217;ve been doing some articles for Viator&#8217;s blog lately and here&#8217;s a rundown on visiting the pyramids of Teotihuacan. (Visiting the site is easier than saying it.)

Here&#8217;s the rundown from [...]

About 2,000 travelers were trapped in the town for days, strapping resources [...]
