Gone Travl'n
From the Desert to the Islands and Back Again
Greetings fellow wanderers!
Anyone who writes about travel and adventure knows that eventually, they have to practice what they preach. I am officially off this week to indulge in some much-needed wanderlust. I suspect subscribers to this newsletter will forgive my momentary departure.
My family and I are off to enjoy a gorgeous wedding in the desert of Arizona and then to O’ahu! Hopefully, by the time this reaches you, I’ll be hiking along one of O’ahu’s many fabulous trails, at the Bishop Museum, or more likely wrestling with a jetlagged and grumpy toddler. A toddler in Hawaii!? Absolutely! But how are you ever going to RELAX? Well, we won’t. But that’s okay. Read about our son Walden’s first adventures and what it takes to sustain wanderlust as a parent in my post here.
If you are new to Those Who Wander and waiting anxiously until I return from my travels, might I interest you in some initial posts?
Consider starting with Those Who Wander’s About Page to get to know a little about me and what I’ve been up to in archaeology and anthropology.
Read about the Motives of Those Who Wander.
Read my first post and first published excerpt from my book Our Ancient Narrative.
If you’ve been here a while and value this writing, please consider supporting Those Who Wander in whatever way you think is fair. I make 90% of my content free. Here’s why:
It has always been a challenge for new authors to break into the writing scene. It is incredibly challenging in today's market and media ecosystem that vies for everyone's attention. So much content, even great content, is expected to be free. This presents a dilemma for authors. What an author cares most about is getting people to read and enjoy their writing. Sharing ideas is what I care most about. This is why I’ve committed to my readers that most of my content will remain free. If there is ever a paywall that prevents you from seeing content that you think you'd enjoy reading, please feel free to reach out to me either by DM or by email at baileyjs08@gmail.com and I can send it to you for free. That said, if you value this work, please consider supporting this project via a paid subscription, sharing, and engaging with the content.
Know someone who may enjoy these musings on the anthropology of wandering?
Thank you to everyone who has subscribed and supported Those Who Wander so far. Safe travels and happy reading! Cheers!
