Safer Computing in Internet Cafes

In a previous post, I discussed potential issues when traveling with electronic components, and ensuring that your data was secure. But what if you don’t carry a laptop or netbook but instead rely on internet cafes during your travels? It saves on weight and minimizes your risk of becoming victim of theft or robbery, gives you the opportunity to interact with locals, with a trade off of reduced privacy. Internet cafes computer’s are notorious for being infected with spyware or malware that record your personal information as you do various [read more]

For the hardcore cycle tourist, the daily commuter, or for someone who just wants a rock solid bike that is not only comfortable, but well build and able to attain decent speeds while feeling stable at the same time, I’m selling my Surly Long Haul Trucker (LHT) which has taken me down to Mexico and across Canada. It’s my buddy, best friend, and one that I rely on the most. However, with all this, I’ve made the ways to part ways with my bike, and move onto something different.   [read more]

Data Protection while Traveling

(A practical-on-the-verge-of-paranoia-they’re-out-to-get-me article on making sure your data remains secure) Do you carry electronic components while traveling, such as a laptop, phone, or mp3 player? What would you lose if one or all just stopped? What if a device was lost or stolen, ending up in the wrong hands? I’m won’t rehash the million articles that one can find about protecting yourself physically while traveling but instead focus on something just as valuable – your data. Data is a collection of facts, such as values or measurements. It can be [read more]

A whole lot of Statistics

Over the course of my trip across Canada, I kept some statistics in order for to me review for later, and to provide insight for those looking to do a similar trip. Things like cost, distance, weather and mood were all recorded, and while some I’m keeping for personal use, I hope you find some value out of this information. You can find the day by day information at the Statistics and Logs page which I kept updated each time I had internet access. This is a living document until [read more]

For Sale: Hilleberg Nallo GT Tent - SOLD

When you are cycle touring, or going on a long expedition, you need a proper place to lay your head at night. A Tent is one of the of the most important pieces of your equipment to provide shelter from strange weather, a safe place to rest, and to store your gear.  Finding the correct tent is a bit of an art, and what works for some people doesn’t quite work for others. I think all Bicycle Tourists can agree on a few things however – The tent should be lightweight – [read more]

Now this is kind of weird. For 215 days I was mobile, cycling living out of 6 bags, moving forward to a new destination, and now for the past 7 days, I’ve been stationary in one spot. In fact, I’ve actually settled, found a place to live with another person who is in the process of “Life 2.0: Music”, and even bought a few possessions along the way. Ball Chair for computing, and speaker system with subwoofer to let me listen to music properly – not to say my I-Home [read more]
