Hehe, now now, don’t panic.  This nomad is full force, but a while back Flightster Blog put out the word they were looking for a new writer.  As I sweat in my Montreal squat, a semi-regular gig might just do me.

Welcome to Gypsy Wednesday! Every Wednesday, I strive to highlight all the juicy morsels related to travel and beyond.
