Pittsburgh to Cadiz: What's the Difference Part One
The rite of travel is different for all those who step in a new direction. The traveler, wayfarer, vagabond, hobo, and gadabout take the terra incognita like a parched soul—quenching for drops of pastoral panoramas and clenching with fists of hell-raising ramblings through cities.

“I want ‘Speechless’ to be more than a book. I want it to be the beginning of an international conversation Read more [...]
