Please Welcome Stefanie Acworth To TheExpeditioner
You know what has been missing around these parts lately, these parts being TheExpeditioner.com? A new Pulitzer? A strict HR policy about sick leave? Cubicles?

What Do You Think Of Our New Site Design?
Notice anything new about the site? Less cat pictures — yes. Removal of that late-night rambling post I wrote late one night connecting the JFK assassination to the Illuminati, the moon cycles and Rick Steves’s khakis — check. Complete site redesign and overhaul for your reading pleasure — hell yeah! If you haven’t noticed already […]
Here’s How You Can Win $100,000 To Live On A Caribbean Island
I can think of worse things to happen to me than being stranded on a desert island in the Caribbean for a couple weeks, especially if during those two weeks I was marooned with someone who knows a thing or two about how not to die while there, like Survivorman’s Les Stroud. I know, I […]
Open Call For Submissions: Poetry Written By Travelers
There are a number of books of travel poetry out there. Here we see a copy of Song of The Open Road: Poems of Travel & Adventure grazing with her offspring with a herd of bison who’ve taken to the open prairie where man, book and buffalo can still be free. While the Expeditioner loves these books, […]

TheExpeditioner Is All Sorts of Mobile Now
Call it a hunch, but I’m starting to think this whole mobile thing is really going to take off. And what better use is there for your phone (other than to take a selfie with you and your favorite lawnmower) than to check out TheExpeditioner while you’re on the go (or while you’re lying on […]
How To Get Paid $50,000 To Travel The World For Six Months
I normally don’t throw around the adjectives “biggest” or “baddest” very often — except maybe when discussing Edwardian Era-British foreign policy — but the Biggest, Baddest, Bucket List contest from MyDestination.com easily fits those descriptions. Running from January 28 to March 31, the winner of the contest will receive a six-month, all-inclusive, blogging trip around the […]

Time To Rejoice, Arapahoe Basin Is Open
It’s what every ski nut waits for. After the biking. After the hiking. After the fourteeners. After the sailing. These summer activities, while fun, have really only been holding place for the addictive sport of the winter season: skiing. Wax your skis and polish your goggles, because the Colorado ski season is officially open. Well, […]
