Things I still have to do before I leave for New Zealand

By Justin Jones • Jan 28th, 2008 • Category: Travel Abroad, blog

I’ve traveled a lot in my life, but never before have I left without any plan of coming back. I could be gone for 6 months, a year, 2 years… who knows!?
It’s a weird feeling — having to tie up every loose end in your life. It’s a bit like knowing when you’re […]

Diamond Day

By Justin Jones • Jan 15th, 2008 • Category: Travel Abroad, blog, videoblog

Damn, it’s after 6AM and I’ve been up all night. I finally got around to learning how to use Sony Vegas to edit my videos and I put this together, my first real video blog! Love it.

So, I had to seriously degrade the video quality to get the file size small enough for YouTube (switched […]



Travel Tales

By Justin Jones • Jan 11th, 2008 • Category: Travel Abroad, blog, travel tales

In an effort to blog on a more regular basis I’ve decided to begin writing about things other than what is currently going on in my life. This should give me something to fill the gaps between blog-worthy events and should make for some cool themes that you’ll enjoy reading about. For starters, I’d […]



A Year on the Road

By Justin Jones • Jan 10th, 2008 • Category: Travel Abroad, blog, videoblog

It’s hard to believe, but I’ve been technically homeless for over a year now. My lease in LA ended in December of 2006, and since then, I’ve been couch surfing around the states and gallivanting all over the globe for various reasons. 2007 was an awesome year for me, and I think it […]



Planning a Trip Backpacking Abroad

By Justin Jones • Dec 21st, 2007 • Category: Travel Abroad, blog

So, you’re ready to strap on that overstuffed backpack and take a trip overseas. Maybe you’ll make it a euro-trip, hopping Eurail trains and sipping café au lait in Parisian cafes one day, then downing giant mugs of bohemian lager in Munich the next day. Or maybe you’ll head to South East Asia […]



Decisions, Chance and Happenstance

By Justin Jones • Dec 20th, 2007 • Category: Travel Abroad, blog

I hate making decisions for myself. Whenever I’m faced with a real decision, my overly analytical mind will start churning with discomfort while weighing options and figuring in consequence. This is a strange and crippling affliction for a nomad like myself. I live my life on a whim, always open to whatever the […]

Want to travel around the world?
Stupid question — of course you do! we’ll I just heard the news that Global Scavenger Hunt is looking for 50 travelers to join their around the world travel adventure competition.
Now, before you get too excited, I have to tell you that this isn’t an Amazing Race type travel […]



Study in Western Europe

By Justin Jones • Sep 28th, 2007 • Category: Study Abroad, Travel Abroad

When I was in college I spent a summer studying abroad in London. It was an incredible experience not only because I learned a lot, met some cool people, and got to study British literature in the places where it was actually written, but also because it provided me with a jump-off point to […]



Working in Western Europe

By Justin Jones • Sep 28th, 2007 • Category: Travel Abroad, Work Abroad

According to timeday.org, Americans “work nearly nine full weeks (350 hours) LONGER per year than our peers in Western Europe do.”
So what the hell are we still doing here in America?
Okay, I don’t mean to get all anti-American, but that’s a lot of time spent in a cubicle when (if I lived and worked in […]
