December 1, 2011 by The Runaway Guide 6 Comments

The Revolution Continues: Cairo November 20, 2011

November 21, 2011 by The Runaway Guide 9 Comments

“Thump, thump”… The sound of tear gas canisters being fired. “O shit, I’ve gotten too close!” I look up. A single can is hurling in a high arc through the smoke filled air. I quickly calculate it’s trajectory and realize it is heading right for me. With no time to think, I leap to safety. […]

The Best Hamburger Outside The USA

american hamburger

I love Hamburgers. Like many Americans, I was raised on them. On weekends, my dad would take me to get my beloved McDonald’s Hamburger. In the summer, my mom would grill up delicious home made bacon cheese burgers. And on my birthday, I always received hundreds of mini white castle burgers. In short, I ate […]

June 24, 2011 by The Runaway Guide 6 Comments

Traveling is my passion and I can think of nothing more liberating and exciting than hitting the open road. Nothing is fixed and nothing is planned, and everything is in the hands of fate. And so, I guess it is the unknown that really turns me on. At the same time, it is the unknown […]

Old People & Florida

June 18, 2011 by The Runaway Guide 4 Comments
