Would you like to learn Revolutionary War history at the same time? Do you think two eight hour days of practice no matter the weather sounds like a fun challenge? Then this is the place for you, me, and the tens of other people who feel the same!

Jokes (mostly) aside, I attended a Project Appleseed event for the first time recently and I loved it. Here I share my…

Safety & Security

No matter what type of travel you have planned for this year, safety and security should remain your top priorities. This rule applies to your day trip excursion, week-long vacation, cross-country road trip, and epic launch into the world of the digital nomad!

Somewhere along your journey, you could face a medical emergency, vehicle failure, or even riotous civil unrest. And when it happens you could be miles away from the nearest help.

In countries with weak health systems, prevention and early treatment could help you avoid a trip to an under-resourced local health facility. …
