New York in Winter is a magical place, according to New Yorkers

New York in Winter is a magical place, according to New Yorkers

Now that I live in New York, and the holiday season has well and truly begun (I mean, not by my standards, but there are already decorations and skating rinks going up on every block, like what?), I thought it'd be appropriate to repost an older article. This was originally from November 2nd, … [Read more...]

The Philosophical Implications of Being Stepped On by an Elephant

The Philosophical Implications of Being Stepped On by an Elephant

  When I was a kid, I was obsessed with elephants. Now, that’s hardly unique. Everybody loves those big noodle-nosed bastards. But when I say that I was obsessed with them, I mean that I was obsessed. The kind of obsessed that gets people put on watch lists nowadays. If elephants were an … [Read more...]

The Doomed Independence Movement of Easter Island

The Doomed Independence Movement of Easter Island

Easter Island barely juts out of the ocean over 2,000 miles away from the nearest continent. It's one of the most remote places on Earth - Antarctica is far more accessible, almost as if the land called Rapa Nui by the locals wasn't meant to have locals in the first place. Man didn't make it to the … [Read more...]

Wherever your next destination is, make sure it has a Dark Sky

Wherever your next destination is, make sure it has a Dark Sky

I didn't see the stars until I was 9 years old. Sure, I'd seen the hazy orange headstones of stars on clear nights, one or two of them, flickering faintly and indistinguishable from planes. But I'd never really seen stars. The kind that make you look up from the sidewalk as you walk home. The kind … [Read more...]

What’s it’s like to eat the Spiciest Pepper in Existence?

September 10, 2015 by Colin 1 Comment

What’s it’s like to eat the Spiciest Pepper in Existence?

When I was a kid, my dad would screw with me by popping habanero after habanero into his mouth without so much as a grimace. He’d explain that, when he was my age, he’d eaten so much hot sauce that his taste buds had been burned clean off. It scared me away from spicy foods for my entire childhood, … [Read more...]

The Elsewhere Man Himself

This handsome devil's coming to a city near you.

My name's Colin. A few years ago, I decided to combine my love of travel, telling stories, and getting into mischief into one endeavor. If it's a weird festival or even weirder food, you'll find me on my way to try it. Five continents and a few stomach-turning pitstops later, I've got it down pretty well. Learn more about my adventures here, if you dare.
