15 Things To Remember Trekking In The Himalaya

To take a break from narrating the day-to-day happenings of my Everest Base Camp trek, I have decided to share some of the things that I would recommend keeping in mind while trekking in the Himalaya (or probably countless other places as well). Despite everything I thought I knew prior to

Toilets In Japan: To Squat Or Not To Squat

Taking a poo. No matter where we are from, it is an activity that we all participate in on a (hopefully) regular basis. Countries around the world all have a solution to your needs when it comes to expelling your digestive waste, and in Japan you face an impressive variety of porcelain. To

How To ACTUALLY Shit In The Woods

When I spoke to you last regarding how to shit in the woods, I was speaking from a researched position opposed to one grounded in empirical evidence. Now, after three long weeks of using the Pacific Crest Trail litter box, I have the information you actually need when taking a shit in the

An Afternoon At McDonald’s (on the PCT)

I don't think I have ever been more content just sitting in a McDonald's watching obese Americans hasten their impending biological failures. I myself put down a double quarter-pounder with cheese, a Big Mac, a 10 piece chicken nuggets, a large fry, and a gallon of Dr. Pepper, so I don't know

How To Shit In The Woods

If you would like to find out how to actually shit in the woods, then check out part two of this series: How To ACTUALLY Shit In The Woods. Besides being the title of a promising, but incredibly disappointing and outdated book (yes, pooping in the woods has come quite a long way), how to shit in

Brazilian Bathroom Operating Instructions

BÚZIOS, BRAZIL - As many of you travelers know, things in other countries are not always done the same way you are used to doing them. Fortunately, sometimes travel magic provides us with useful instructions detailing how to conduct ourselves whilst outside our native element. I found this

The Day I Dug Up And Emptied A Septic Tank

Fire Island's noted absence of Domino's, 24 hour convenience stores and strip clubs has made me realize that, unfortunately, this cannot afford its visitors all the luxuries of the mainland. However, beyond the obvious there exists an entirely separate layer of absenteeism that plagues

Learning To Use The Toilet In Brazil

There is something that all of us do (yes, all of us) that is rarely talked about, and has even become taboo in certain circles. No, I am not talking about listening to Miley Cyrus or even farting and blaming it on the dog; I am talking about number two (yes, that kind). It has become common
