Travel

I make frequent road trips, often with my housemate Heidi (new URL). I really like driving. I also really like the sense of continental scale, of living on the surface of a planet, that I get from making long trips. Places I tend to travel include:

New Jersey, where I lived for a few years when I worked at Princeton
Connecticut, where I went to school and where my housemate Heidi is from
Montréal, which is just a fun city
Ottawa where some friends of my household live
Acorn Farm (new URL) in Virginia, a commune where my friend Tree used to live.

In March 1996, Heidi and I visited friends in Durban, South Africa. I haven't written up this trip yet (hope to soon), but I've scanned in some pictures - mostly from our trip to the Umfolozi-Hluhluwe game preserve.

Over winter break 1994/95, Heidi and I took drove to Mexico together. This was excellent; I want to go back! :-) I've written up a description of this trip, and scanned in a bunch of photographs.

A short Monterrey travelogue

A few months previously, we had taken a weekend trip to Montréal, which was also delightful, so in 1994 we did the NAFTA tour. :-) (Don't tell Ross Perot!) Over the Fourth of July weekend 1995, we took a trip to the Acorn intentional community in Virginia to visit my friend Ivy. A little more information about intentional community is on my Home and housemates page.
