At one point in college, I became very frustrated about having learned so much about our world, yet having seen very little of it (at that point, I had never been further West than Ithaca, New York). I got a passport and jumped on the next west-bound train. I’ve had a hard time sitting terribly still ever since.
After my cross-country trip, I envisioned 3 great Eurasian journeys.
1. across Europe
2. down the Pacific Coast of Asia and Australia
3. across the middle
Trip number one came together largely as planned in 2002. Trip number two was largely sated by living in Japan for 2 years and travelling while there. Now we begin trip number 3. Follow me as I make my way through Egypt, the Gulf, India, Nepal, SE Asia, and much of China. It should be very interesting.
About Me: I am Tadhog. The only Tadhog. I am 28 years old. I hold a degree in History and Peace Studies. I have spent nearly 4 years working in currency markets, and 2 years living in Japan as an English teacher. I was born in NH and spent most of my recent time in Brooklyn. As a result, be prepared for biting sarcasm.
I travel to see other cultures, discover their history, and learn more about the world. So, I’m a bit of a geek. I’m sure I will pass by some of the world’s finest beaches in this blog. You probably won’t read about them here. I’ll probably talk about long-dead kings or weird unidentifiable foods. I hope that’s cool.
