Way to go! I am so excited for all of your adventures in life. And your attitude is continually inspiring. VEGETARIAN caught my eye.

You see, my husband (Justin) and I leave on September 30th to backpack to various countries around the world for a year or so. We are both vegetarians. That should make eating while in the certain areas of the world more difficult.

As we have been planning for our adventure we have been updating a blog. www.nomadbackpackers.com We would love to have other opinions, ideas, encouragement, advice, helpful tips, and more left as comments.

Thanks,
Natalie

Re: Confessions of a Midwestern White Man.

Guilty white woman: However, growing up in Detroit, where the racial diversity is continually growing, I have some "car wash scenario" suggestions for you.

As you pull up and give the money to the car wash employees ready to "pre-scrub" your vehicle...ask em' how they're doin. Then emphatize with the fact that they are probably tired. Hand them at least $1 tip, smile, and tell them to enjoy their night, once they get off of work.

I grew up a block from the Dollar Car Wash (yes it only cost $1, but now in 2008 it's $2) across the street from "Woman Care" the abortion clinic. Incase the tip still doesn't make sense...it's basically, relate to someone as a person not as a race. Which, it sounds like you really want to do, because God made us all equall. Right?

Anyway, if you want to follow my husband (also named Justin) and myself as we explore cultural differences within various countries around the world, feel free to check us out: www.nomadbackpackers.com

We leave on September 30th to backpack to different countries around the world for a year or so. We know God will teach us a lot.

Introducing Justin's wife - Natalie:

"Getting what I want? Well...Alright! That works."

Tim, I am continually impressed with you and how you choose to live life. Thanks for inspiring us with your spirit of adventure.

Feel free to check out our planning process and offer comments or suggestions. We would love to hear from anyone. Except for those computer robots. Not those guys so much.

Re: 5 Clues It’s Time to Change Hostels

Natalie — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 17:19:03 -0000

Wow! That is quite the horrible experience. Justin and I leave for our adventure on Sept. 30th and we were discussing heading to Croatia after my bro ties the knot in Italy.

Thanks for sharing the truth about Hostel Palacida (I can almost see the yellow piece of paper in my mind).

Unfortunately, I can relate (somewhat) with the feeling of being locked out of a hostel for the night. Except, Captain Conrad the owner of the Pirate Hostel heard my husband and I knocking on the door making lots of noise. He rescued us from your experience of being locked out for the night.

Feel free to read about our adventures at the Pirate Hostel and how super cheap our entire experience was: http://www.nomadbackpackers.com/2008/04/14/arrr...

Or see if we made it to Split yet. www.nomadbackpackers.com

Don't worry we'll tell your favorite Croatian fam you said "hi"!

Re: Falling in Love with Travel

I am really glad you decided to publish and share this article. Super enjoyable and easier to take a more realistic approach to travel. I think the website www.travelsucks.com allows people to share all of these "realistic" tales of travel (they still love it too, I promise).

And I am 100% sure that you/travel have grown together.

Your travel experiences sound incredible! Thank you for sharing.

My husband (Justin) and I leave on September 30th to backpack to various countries around the world for a year or so. At one point during our journey, Justin has a dream of riding a motorcycle across China. Who knows?

Re: san jose techno jam session #1

Natalie — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 22:05:38 -0000

Impressive! And fun. The photos help to emphasize how technical the process towards creating the sound was.

My husband, Justin and I are backpacking to different countries around the world for the next few years. As we travel we have found amazing art and music. It's good to know San Jose would welcome us with a good jam.

Re: Immunizations, Vaccines, and Shots (Oh My!)

Natalie — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 21:58:38 -0000

My husband and I are currently receiving the same Japanese Encephalitis (JE) vaccinations that you went through a while back.

Their is a new Japanese Encephalitis vaccination that is coming out either late 2008 or early 2009. This should be less expensive and it can be given in 2 shots instead of the current 3.

Feel free to read about our JE experiences and more on www.nomadbackpackers.com

Awesome adventures! Looks like you are having an absolute blast and really experiencing the culture.

My husband and I are currently in New Zealand during our new backpacking lifestyle. We have been working at a Pub on Great Barrier Island for the last 2 weeks. We are heading to the South Island soon. Feel free to offer us any adventure or backpacking advice, at www.nomadbackpackers.com

In addition, I recently posted about what we have learned. A woman named Gillian had emailed me some questions. Feel free to add comments on what you have learned in order to assist other aspiring backpackers.
