Tim,
Your 'Rucksack Wanderer's Guide to Cambodia' was easily one of the most informational and real pieces I've found yet on traveling to Cambodia. We're heading out there for a few weeks this fall and are definitely going to take your suggestions and tips to heart. If there's anything you think we can't miss (besides Angkor Wat) please pass them on.
Cheers buddy, keep it coming!
-Evan

Hey Tim,
I heard you've recently relocated and are settling down in Boulder, CO. I just moved here about two weeks ago and I'm trying to get acquainted with the area and take advantage of what it has to offer. Also, I would like to meet some fellow travelers who would be interested in talking, and maybe even traveling with me. Any suggestions? If so, please let me know.
Thanks a bunch!!! Lauren Brown

Aha! Indonesia is part of the summer program! And a good chunk of it takes place in Sulawesi, which is perfect for me. Looks positively incredible. Thanks again for your help.

About me
I hate driving and am frightened of cars, but can trek through Cambodian jungles without a trace of nerves.
I love fishing and reading good books and small campfires. I aspire to a simple, self-reliant lifestyle, but am hopeless when it comes to complicated mechanical tasks like tying my shoes.
I have a wonderful family, and always seem to meet wonderful people, no matter where in the world I go.
Although I've been lucky enough to travel a great deal, I can honestly say that my favorite place on earth is my hometown of Craftsbury, Vermont. Someday, this is where I want to settle down.
Why I travel
Momentum.
Travel style
Laptop, folding bike with a sheepskin saddle, pup tent and 1 clean shirt. Fly-rod.
Ideal place to watch the sunset
Salt Cay NW Beach
Ideal place to watch the sunrise
from my tent above treeline
Before I die I'd like to
fill up a bookshelf and leave a big garden.
I felt the most immersed in a foreign culture when
Skulking around a village at night looking for a place to poop.
Let's collaborate
As an editor, I want to work with writers who understand the dual virtues of clarity and simplicity.
Favorite artist(s)
Ryan Libre
Sports I do
Hiking and Biking. Cross Country Skiing. Fly-Fishing. Golf.
I want to make a difference by
Writing. Listening. Loving.
Tunes I rock out to
These days a lot of Dead Prez and Bob Dylan.
Favorite books
Log From the Sea of Cortez, The Snow Leopard, Video Night in Katmandhu, The Dharma Bums
My links

Looking to Meet:
People who choose to live close to the land.
Other Languages:
Japanese, a little Bhutanese and Cambodian
Favorite Quote:
"...see the whole thing is a world full of rucksack wanderers, Dharma Bums refusing to subscribe to the general demand that they consume production and therefore have to work for the privilege of consuming, all that crap they didn't want anyway such as refrigerators, TV sets, cars, at least fancy new cars, certain hair oils and deodorants and general junk you finally always see a week later in the garbage anyway, all of them imprisoned in a system of work, produce, consume, work, produce, consume, I see a vision of a great rucksack revolution thousands or even millions of young Americans wandering around with rucksacks, going up to the mountains to pray, making children laugh and old men glad, making young girls happy and old girls happier..."
-Gary Snyder
Favorite Places:
Luang Prabang, Bhutan, The Lost Coast of Cambodia, Pun Pun Farm outside Chiang Mai, Thailand, Salt Cay in the Turks and Caicos, Havana, New Zealand, Ungava Peninsula, Angkor, Oregon Coast, Shiretoko and Daisetsuzan National Parks in Hokkaido, Zanzibar, Wyoming's Wind River Range, Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, El Bolson in Patagonia, Punta del Diablo, Uruguay
Places I Want To Go:
Just about anywhere (except Disneyland).

I’m typing in my soggy little pup tent somewhere in the Chic Choc mountains of the Gaspe Peninsula. It’s 8:01 pm and I’ve been in this tent since mid-afternoon, burrowed in my heavy down sleeping bag, watching the silhouettes of slugs ooze across the outer tent wall.
I...

Captain Carrot has red hair and wears an orange cape. Green stalks sprout from his bike helmet.
Queen Aubergine's cape is purple, and Cassiopea's cape is made of prayer flags.
These superheroes are riding their bikes around Vermont, doing good deeds. ...

Somewhere between Montreal and Trois Riviere, I came upon a pig’s head lying in the road. I couldn’t tell it was a pig’s head until I was almost on top of it. The road was straight, with corn fields on either side, and from far away I saw an object up ahead. I pedaled closer,...

There was a moment, crouched on wet pavement in the temple courtyard, choking on firecracker smoke, the crowd ullulating and a tattooed man with crazy eyes swinging a bloody battle-axe over my head, when I decided to make a run for it.
I wasn't far from the temple gate, and though...

Three months ago I was on a night-bus to Tibet with 13 young men and women I barely knew. Now, I'm alone in Phnom Penh, soaking up the memories, wondering how those same 13 students are doing as they transition home to America.
A full semester of rugged travel down one...

Coming at you from the Stellar Brew coffee shop here in Mammoth, CA, under a roof for the first time this week, catching up on e-mail and giving my sunburned nose a break from the dry Sierra solstice sun.
This will be freeform flow writing, as fast as my fingers can go. ...

The man who manipulates the U.S. economy has a lot in common with the parasite that manipulates my intestines.
Last month, I picked up a stomach parasite on the banks of the Ganges.
Perhaps my parasite arrived via a warm cup of chai, or floating on crushed mint in a...

I remember an angry cowherd in Bhutan, striding up a Himalayan path on a golden October evening.
His cows were fat and the rice stalks in the valley were heavy with grain. Prayer flags snapped in the clean mountain air.
“We need industry!” said the cowherd.
He was a...

Up this morning at 5:30. My only time to read and write. Running a Roberto Bolaño story through my speed-reader program while listening to drum and bass. Both at 200 bpm. The story is about a struggling Chilean writer (Bolaño) meeting a famous writer, only in this ethereal realm....

Coming home to Colorado in the waning days of the Bush Disaster is a somber journey, the people more uncertain and restrained.
I don't have health insurance right now and there are cars off the road, traffic lights skewed to the side in the wind.
The land is...
