Follow your Nose: Tips on Finding Food in Foreign Countries
A wonderful opportunity to share some stories from the road. I present to the Nomadic Network a list of how I found great meals abroad including some tried and true tips and plenty of stories and photos.
Ultimately Utila
The last of the adventures, taking me from Utila to home. It’s a lot of sadness, but I couldn’t be more proud of the last few weeks before leaving. The island was filled with adventure and joyful souls. Come join for the last of the adventures. Not exactly what I wanted, but I will be back, one day soon, with more tales of travels and exploration. Cheers!
Dear Tony, A Touch of Mexico
Coming on the end of the travel blogs, and I’m floored by my blessings. Thank you for journeying with me and continue to enjoy my writings.
Finding Holbox
A gorgeous paradise exists in the northern Yucatan peninsula. A little hidden island is home to the most beautiful beaches, creatures, and people. Finding my way there is complete happenstance, but it’s so excellent I can’t wait to go back.

Bâtard Tribeca: A Culinary Experience
This. Food. Was. Exceptional. I wrote a review about my dinner at Bâtard, where I was gratefully to join my friends Luke and Steve. Please enjoy the review and the photos!
Hawk Attack
A small story and huge photo drop of motorbiking in Vietnam. It’s a classic Vietnam travel experience and for good reason. The ability to get that close to the country is unparalleled and thoroughly worth every minute, risks and all. Sorry for the huge delay. So many things piled up, but enjoy the video at the bottom for a collection of rides and friends.
Dear Tony, Sharing Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is possibly my favorite holiday, and I was blessed to bring it as a gift for a group of Vietnamese and Travelers that I am proud to call friends. Follow my adventure, about 9 months in the past, as I continue chasing Bourdain’s ghost and, hopefully honoring his legacy. Happy Belated Tony!
Climbing Cat Ba
Sorry I’ve been away long. Many hours spent settling into home, protesting, friends, and mostly code.
Cat Ba is special. I say that about a lot of places, but this one is solid top 3. Mostly for the friends. Here’s one to Alana and Kate, Xuan and Zee-oi. But it’s about rock climbing. No rope, over deep water. In Northern Vietnam. It’s a pretty rad time.
Much love family. See you in the next one.
The Hustle of Hanoi
Hanoi is a beautiful place. I run around, eating food, making and meeting friends, and seeing a new city. The people are ridiculously nice, from the boys in the public gym by the lake, to the hostel owners who invited me to lunch multiple times, to the Buddhism temple ceremony pictured.
Dali
In Old Town, at the Dali Lao Shay Youth Hostel, a collection of strangers make a home for a week. A blessed adventure.
Hong Kong is a Beautiful Bastard Child
I have a wonderful time for my first time in Hong Kong. In the midst of it’s civil unrest, I found a wealth of culture in many aspects. The multitude and magnitude of this unusual city make it’s one of my favorite destinations.
Sidebar in Koh Tao
A quick summary of SCUBA diving and living in Koh Tao, South Thailand. Got an Advance Licence and scammed by the local mafia all in 5 days!
The Whole Pai
There are special places in the world. I found my beautiful home. I’m am just so grateful to have friends there, to have shared the space with amazing people. Also the freaking food! Oh My God. Anyway. Go to Pai. It’s amazing
Pai-holed and Tranquil
A random day from the most wonderful place in the planet, Pai, Thailand. I miss that town a lot, and I can’t wait to go back. My friends. I miss you. The adventure. The calm. The food. The people. What a slice of heaven on earth.
Dear Tony: American Food in Shanghai
In Shanghai, I meet a Kansas City ex-pat who starts his own BBQ business. It’s fantastic and I write a review for the two excellent meals I had there.
Xi'an and Sick
A summary of some Chinese adventures including how I pushed myself too hard and found myself desperately sick in Xian, cutting short some of my China plans. But so many blessings. So many adventures. Very grateful to the world and to you readers and special shout out to Lomig for the save and fun!
Hefei: Family and Friends
Traveling through Hefei to connect and reconnect with Family. I make a great group of Ex-pat friends, but the “Paris of China” is not highly recommended on my travel list. Still, wondrous adventures!
