Whaaat? A free gift?
                            That's crazy! 

I bet it's something stupid, like a PDF with nerdy info on countries on this planet Earth, (but only on Earth...)

Yup!

  • Want to know how "strong" your passport is?
  • How does your country rate on "Happiness?" Or "Peace?" Or corruption...
  • Check out these nifty, WWII-era guidebooks made for U.S. soldiers!

Sure, you could just Google all that, but with this clever PDF, you (finally) can have it all — and more! Enjoy the sheer luxury of clickable links, all on one page. (You can even print it out, but good luck clicking there, buddy.)

So don't wait another minute — act now, before we run out of PDFs!

The Doors of Chios, Greece
Stranded for two days on this Greek island only five miles from Turkey due to a ferry-workers strike, I explored Mesta, one of the most fascinating villages I have ever seen. The village was built some 900 years ago inside a castle-like stone wall to protect its residents from pirates and other invaders. Mesta is named for the mastic that people here harvest and sell.

"Travel writers are boring, travelling writers are exciting."

What's with this...
​www.MyStupidLittleTravelBlog.com?
Well, not much.

Now that I'm shooting a lot more video, I find it's harder to keep "innocent" bystanders out of my frame, and so I actually feel the need to ask permission, (something I rarely do with photography...) Rather than explain that I'm really up to a whole lot of nothing with this crazy thing, I have just been asking people; "Hey, you mind being on my stupid, little travel blog?" And it works.
"Travel writers are boring,
​travelling writers are exciting."​

Reel in the Years

Remember that time before the Third Millennium?​

​Mark Gilchrist documented life in rural America in the late-1990s during a 19-month motorcycle tour of all 50 United States, writing articles about everyday people and creating one of the first travel blogs in Internet history. Two decades later, you can still read all 126 articles and the blog. (That would be quite a chore, so if you register, we'll send you a favorite one each week.)
