Sing, goddess, the rage of Aphilles…

OK so all this punning on my name has grown a little tired, but it’s too late to change; the Philiad has existed in some form or other for four years now. You don’t mess with a brand with that kind of staying power.

Four years; that’s about how long I’ve been travelling. It’s also about how long I’ve been writing in a form somewhat fit to show to anyone else.

The first of my travels was supposed to get me and my buddy around the world in five months. He ended up in love in New York and I ended up living in Madrid. Since then I’ve lived in Korea, Bolivia and now Mexico. I don’t plan to stop travelling, or writing, any time soon.

The Philiad such as you can find here covers my time in Bolivia and Mexico, and countries in between. I’ve also started interspersing old blog posts among these newer ones; you’ll find posts from my 2007 trip across the US (which were originally on another blog site) sprinkled among the Mexico posts.

Along with posts about my travels you’ll find bits and pieces about history and books and movies and politics and food and anything else I stumble upon.
