Life to you is a dashing and bold adventure

Where's Adam? San Miguel de Allende, MX

An original "geek", Burning Man before the lines, survived the dot-com boom and bust. Seven years backpacking around the world, posting from cybercafés before "travel blog" was a phrase. Ended up in questionable and dangerous places like Syria, Sudan, Myanmar, a minefield in Cambodia, and walking through tribal lands into Ethiopia.

After returning to the USA, I spent a decade living aboard a boat in California, working as a harbormaster and throwing parties on the water.

Now I'm in a house in the hills of central Mexico, and on the road again.

Geekeasy Archive

Geekeasy was online before Google or Facebook. It got its start as the website for a geek house, became one of the first travelogues on the internet, and now it's my personal site.
