About Me

My photo
I am a bohemian nomad, someone who acts and lives free of regard for conventional rules and practices, but also one who moves according to the seasons. After traveling to over 100 countries and all 7 continents over the past 12 years I feel that I truly subscribe to the words of Mary Poxon, who said. "I sought to see the amazing as normal and the daily as unique, and in that swirling paradox I found the joy of travel." I will be forever in pursuit of new sights and adventures and hope that maybe I can convince a few more to give budget travel a chance. Budget travel gives those with little money an opportunity to travel and those with money an opportunity to travel longer.

St. Petersburg, Russia

September 3, 2013

My long awaited trip to Russia was a little disappointing. I, of course, refused to purchase a tour and relied on getting around myself. Mostly did a good job but could not find a couple of cathedrals. The Hermitage Museum was enormous and had a lot of beautiful sculptures and paintings from the Masters such as Monet, Picasso, and countless others. Unfortunately I am not a big fan but do like Monet. After a couple hours here i started back to where the ships City Tour (provides only transport) was located. Fortunately on way back I found a McDonalds and supper for the boat. Beautiful city, its just I have seen more beautiful. I climbed 262 steps up the Colonade at St. Isaacs Cathedral for a panoramic view of St. Petersburg. Then on to the Hermitage Museum.
