The Backpacker’s Budget Guide to Spain

The Backpacker’s Budget Guide to Spain

Spain is one of those places that everybody hates for their first three hours. You're new in town, jetlagged to hell and back, and all you want to do is find someplace to eat. But it's 4 PM. Every god damn restaurant in the city is closed down for siesta and the guy who's supposed to check you in is … [Read more...]

How to Miss Three Trains in One Day

How to Miss Three Trains in One Day

After sitting on the toilet for twenty minutes, your legs fall asleep. It’s an easy enough fix, any PhD in common medicine will prescribe a couple quick shakes to get the nerves moving again. But with David wrapped around me, groin in my face, pinning me, there was nowhere to shake, nowhere to … [Read more...]

Elsewhere Plans: Once More, With Feeling August 2014

One thing I learned entering the second year of Elsewhere Plans: it's gonna be a hell of a lot easier this year. Turns out, a lot of things worth going to are worth going to twice. Who know? I'll be updating as necessary, but much of the information is a foundation on which to build a solid Animal … [Read more...]

Elsewhere Plans: If you say you’re not having fun, July’in’.

This is a very special edition of Elsewhere Plans, because it marks the one year anniversary of the beginning of the feature. Man. 12 whole editions. Of course, I missed a month once, but let's go ahead and say it operates under the "13th floor of a hotel" principle. Just ignore it. I'm gonna do … [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.
