I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

YIV Travelogues - Letters from the Road

A collection of some of our past Letters from Road, the e-mail travelogues we send to All & Sundry during the course of our wanderings. Seeking (and sometimes finding) the uncommon experience of the traveler rather than the cookie-cutter comforts of the tourist, we enjoy relating our adventures and discoveries to our family and increasing number of friends around this ever-shrinking, always-fascinating world of ours.

The Tao of Travel according to YIV

The Way of the Traveler is a strange one. We try to share with you some of our insights on this Vagabond Life, give some advice and encouragement to others following similar paths, and delve deeper into the meaning of the Road, which is merely a microcosm of the greater Road we all are traveling on. We'll give you a glimpse of what happens when you let the Tao take the wheel.

Travel advice & Philosophical musings

Don't know where you're going? Not sure where you've been? Either way, you'll find something of interest in this collection of writings about Travel and the World. While away a little time reading a wide variety of travel pieces written by travel writers of today and yesterday who have something to say about Life on the Road.

Travel Links

Useful information, interesting and informative travel-themed websites and blogs we've discovered, and other links for travelers (and armchair travelers) on the web.
