Business Owner. Traveler. Athlete. Writer. Longhair.
It works on your mind: knowing you're not coming back for a long time. There is the country that you’re in, and the countries you’ve already been to, and all the countries you’re still going to visit. And then there is the trip itself. The journey. The adventure. It’s a cycle of showing up and …
Hey Friends, This week I had a chance to do a guest post for Meet, Plan, Go!, a community-based website that encourages and educates people on taking a career break for long-term travel. They do meet-ups, provide tips and advice from people who've done career breaks and offer resources for how to plan your own. …
So how is your streak going? If you missed it, last week I wrote about fitness and the dedication and hard work it requires. Then I offered a challenge to start an exercise streak. Start with four days in a row and then see how many weeks you can do that, then months. I’ve been …
Things may have changed since this post was published. But great for posterity. *** Lindsay and I met in fall 2003, his first semester in college when he pledged Sigma Nu. It was my senior year. We had so much in common that we instantly became lifelong friends. There were more than a few late …
Today is February 20. I’m sitting in the studio. It’s a gloomy day. I moved here on February 5, just over six weeks after touchdown in the United States. I took down all the boxes from the rafters in my garage in Fresno, opened them up and went through everything I lived without for the …
Sitting here at my desk in Fresno, CA, I’m staying still for a moment and taking a deep breath. It’s been quite the ride since touching down in Miami on December 16. After two days in Miami I spent four days at Sigma Nu Fraternity Headquarters in Lexington, Virginia, my former place of employment. After …
Trusted reader, you’ve followed my journey this far. And now you ask, what is in store for Chris Healy from this point forward? I’m leaving Chile today. Whoops, I started writing this post six weeks ago. I’ll be in Mendoza, Argentina for one week. It’s a city just on the eastern edge of the Andes, …
Now eight months into this journey, I’ve started doing a good deal of reflection: what has happened so far, where I’ve been and what it’s meant to me - and will mean to me in the future; what I’ve learned and how it’s changed me. I remember meeting people in Auckland, telling them I’m three …
For those who noticed my check-in on facebook at SFO, there was no small bit of surprise and puzzlement as to why I was apparently in California. I was lucky enough to make a ten day detour back to the homeland for a family reunion in Hawaii and my sister’s wedding in Napa. Tokyo-San Francisco-Kona-San …
I heard about a guy who recently walked across the US. Something like Maine to California over several months and pairs of shoes. That’s a tough go. Over the past few days I’ve been in Salt Lake City, UT, learning about the Young (my mom’s side) side of my family history and heritage. As it …
