The Birth and Death of a Tourist Hotspot

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: Boom in June 2014

And thus we enter the first real month of Summer for the northern hemisphere. Otherwise known as the hemisphere where shit actually goes down. With love to those crazy Southies, of course, and I'll take that back when New Zealand and Uruguay start pumping festivals out their wazoos, but the North … [Read more...]

Elsewhere Plans: May Flowers 2014

April 17, 2014 by Colin 1 Comment

I'm gonna try to be positive here. There are so many awesome festivals to go to this month. A nice mix of cultural festivals to really make you feel like you've delved into a new part of the world, and a spattering of music festivals to keep your sense of karma and health chemically castrated. But I … [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.
