Vagabond-X Homepage

My name of official record is not important.  I was born between the years of 1969 and 1980 (hence the "X" in my codename).  You have seen me.  I was the quiet one who arrived at the hostel after dark and left first thing in the morning.  I was in that dishevelled bunch you saw sleeping on our bags in the terminal of some foreign airport.  I was the one who sat pensively off to one side as my buddies-for-the- moment drank and partied.  I was the lone hiker with the big backpack, wandering down some lonely road or railway, or, if I was particularly blessed, rainforest trail.  I was in that noisy troop who descended on your little town just long enough to buy coffee and use the bathroom before moving on, or took over the local swimming hole for an hour or so.  I am sure you have seen me; and if you have not, you will.

The following articles are about the world as I see it.  I do not claim they are anything more than my own observations and thoughts, based on my own experiences.  I encourage comment, even dissent, for this sharpens the skills; use my mailbox link below.
