I have been shying away from “thoughtful” posts lately, and also from finally filling out my About page although I need to, but I don’t want you to think that I haven’t been thinking lately. Actually lately I’ve been thinking about why I blog and what I want this blog to be, and what kind…

Classless Travel: A Guide to Sleeping in Cars – Part 2
Before we begin this post, I’d like to just point out that someone actually found my blog by searching for “best cars to sleep in”. That is something to be proud of. What to Bring When Sleeping in the Car Most car sleeping situations fall under either all night sleeping as a hotel replacement, or…
Classless Travel: A Guide to Sleeping in Cars – Part 1
