Much Needed and Delayed Update
Day 242 – Brussels, Belgium – 12:15 AM I’m still alive and kicking out here on the road! I apologize for the lack of activity on Perpetual Footsteps over the recent weeks. My whirl-wind two months traveling through Europe ends in a few days and my lack of down time has limited my ability to provide […]

100 Days!!!
One Hundred Days!!! By no means does it feel like I have traveled for one hundred days. Having completed two countries (New Zealand, Australia) and nearly complete with Vietnam, I can truly say it has been an extraordinary one hundred days. I have snorkeled, swam, hiked, kayaked, driven and biked in picturesque locations that most […]
Vlog #1 Followup
I understand that many of you read my posts in email format and the pictures are normally included. However, the vlog I just posted did not appear in your email.

Greetings from Fort Wayne, Indiana
Day 2 – Fort Wayne, Indiana – 9:11 PM Well my round-the-world adventure has begun, although my first 2 stops are in the United States. I’m currently in Fort Wayne, Indiana visiting family. I landed yesterday afternoon after a short layover in Philadelphia. Yesterday began on a stressful note as I awoke 45 minutes later […]
It Begins Tomorrow at 7 a.m.
My bags are packed. Tomorrow morning at 7 a.m. I will board my first flight and set out on a round-the-world adventure that has been in the planning stages for 8 months. Although prepared and finished with my numerous to-do lists, my nerves continue to bring about doubt in my mind that everything is complete. […]
Where I Am with Less than 2 Weeks Until Departure
Thirteen days…that is all that remains between myself and beginning a once-in-a-lifetime, yearlong adventure that will take me to lands I’d never dreamed I’d set foot on. I am both excited and terrified to embark on this journey that has been in the planning stages since early this year. Excited because I’ll get to experience […]
American Express Gold Card + World Nomads Insurance = 50,000 Bonus Points
I recently received an application in the mail for the American Express Gold Card. The application was paired with a sign on bonus of 50,000 points if I spent $1,000 in the first 3 months.
