Simplify Your Morning
For many people, the toughest part of the day is when that alarm rings in the morning. Obviously, this shouldn’t be and does not promote the LifeExcursion way of Living Life to the Max. For some, it is the fact that they have to head to a job they dislike and [...]

20 Reasons Why You Need to Travel Starting NOW
I entered my junior year of college with two things in mind…1) hit the bars and clubs once I turned 21 and 2) pump out as many courses as possible to lighten the load on my senior year. This quickly changed when I met the crazy man from Aussie who opened my world to the [...]

(Total Read Time: 5-7 minutes – Total Video Time: 16:30 - Total Time: 21-25 minutes)
I would like to claim credit for such a profound, simplistic saying as the title of this post claims, but such is not the case. Only a person from the land that is home to the happiest people on Earth could [...]
Fitness 2010: Kicking My Own Butt
It may seem like I am a little late on the whole new years resolutions thing, but I don’t really believe too much in them (I am #2 of Adam Baker’s here) so I am not really addressing that issue too much. With that said, everyone around me, including you lovely bloggers, seems to be [...]

Because I Can…
***After article, please see my pity plea…Thanks***
Something that has been very interesting over the last 5 years or so has been the reaction towards my lifestyle by outsiders. These outsiders include family, friends, co-workers, friends of friends, random people I meet at the market, blog comments, and the list is pretty much endless. Many are [...]
Entering A Complaint Free World
In an ironic sign of perfect timing, I caught an old article by Tim Ferris over at The Four Hour Work Week Blog on January 1, 2010. The article entitled Real Mind Control: The 21 day No Complaint Experiment. Now, I am not one of the types that sets themselves up for failure by signing [...]
My Life Changed The Day My Eyes Finally Opened
In July 2005, I traveled to the great land Down Under officially named Australia. As many of you know this changed my life forever. I have not been the same person since and it has all been for the better as my life changed forever.
Two things happened recently that made me remember the moment that [...]
A Life of Taking 2 Steps Back For Each Step Forward
This may come as a shock to all of you, but working for yourself is tough to do. There are deadlines that are not enforced, distractions that are endless and lack of motivation to continue progressing towards the life you want. This past month has been a process of seeing big things happen for me [...]
Motivation vs. Discipline by Sam Spurlin
Lately, I have been wavering the line of being motivated and disciplined. My goals need both, but at times, I struggle to maintain such.

Guidance for Simplifying Your Life
While a child, I wanted. While a teenager, I wanted. While in college, I wanted. Beginning to see a pattern here. Well, growing up until my early 20’s, I continuously wanted which wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. The bad thing was that I wanted all the things that were unnecessary to my true life goals. [...]
Financial Reform in Your Own Home
It is no surprise that the government, here in the US, is struggling financially. The reasons for the debt increasing are many and pointing the finger at a person or party won’t really get us anywhere. Hopefully, the government can come together and start resolving the financial crisis. Until then, the financial reform you and I should be looking at is within our own homes.
Lifestyle Design: What is Right? What is Wrong?
If I told you what steps to take, you would hate me 6 months later because you didn’t get to where I am. This is your life so lay out your goals and start kicking butt to achieve them. All lifestyle designers will give their advice, but none of them are right or wrong for your life.
Limiting the Excursion Excess to Live an Adventurous Life
My first overseas excursion was with other American college students to the land of Australia. Despite not yet committing the life of being a minimalist completely yet, I still managed to pack relatively light. As for the women on the excursion with me, it was a completely different story.
There was a limit [...]
