About this blog

"I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move." -Robert Louis Stevenson.

Welcome to Mike and Dylan's vagabonding website. The purpose of this site is to record for the world, the limitless adventures of two friends wandering the globe in search of good ole fashioned kicks, waves, girls, knowledge, & experience. This website serves as an affirmation of personal freedom in the face of a mechanized and capitalistic American society that continually seeks to drown the human spirit in routine.
