Since Davao things have really become quite busy for me on many levels. Part of what is not written online, goes into manuscript format for the book, or maybe that’s books?!

But here’s an overview:

What’s happening?

Right now, I am negotiating on several sources of revenue for my continued travel in search of a place to live. I believe these things must be grasped when opportunities arise. It’s something I learned in my travels through Europe. And, am putting it into play here.

I am currently netting an average of 4 hours of sleep per day and believe me when I say the rest is taken up with 18 hours of near non stop work one way or another.

This is not income generating work, yet. But, to get that far, you need to work at it. And no, it’s not a job in The Philippines.

And, yes I am very tired as I write this. But that’s how we get to places, hard work. Make no mistake.

That said, here are some updates from the website side of things:

New Travel Photography Gallery:

If you go to my Travel Photography gallery(opens new page/tab) you’ll notice some changes. Firstly, it’s a new url (http://www.thelongestwayhome.com/travel-photography.html). So if you bookmarked it previously, please update it. Likewise if you belong to any social networks like twitter, facebook, or stumbleupon please spread the word. just click an icon at the bottom of this post.

I’ve added more B/W photographs, and also for the first time a second page of all color travel photographs.

This redesign will also enable me to sell prints of all sizes very soon. I will write a blog post when it’s live.

For now though, please take a look at the new selection, feedback is always welcome.

Photograph hosting and online storage review:

I did not expect the articles I wrote about photo hosting and online storage to generate quite so much interest. I wrote the review page long before these articles for myself, so I can come back and remember what I learned from each company in terms of their services.

I’m glad it’s helping out other people too.

With that in mind here is the link: online storage and photo hosting reviews (opens a new page/tab)

I hope it’s of use to you too!

Again, please spread the word if you use twitter, facebook or stumbleupon etc,.

Davao continues:

With the above written, my journals now continue about my ongoing search. What I’ve learned over the past 5 years is certainly coming into play now.

Life’s a journey that we should learn from. I’m doing my best to put all that into practice right now.

Thanks for following along. Let’s see how it works out!

A subscribers only update to The Longest Way Home Travel Blog.

Welcome note: The response to the 5 Top Places to Travel & Photograph e-book has been exceptionally good, with many new members signing up. So much so that I felt it proper to send out an overview of this website for those who’ve recently come on board to join me on this journey.

If this the first time you are getting a journal update, then Welcome on board! This is a subscriber only update, just for you!

About me: I have been traveling around the world for over 6 years in search of home. I started this site as just something personal, but my journey’s gained a lot of interest, popularity and press due to a number of factors.

How I write

I write in a frank and open way about a tale of breaking free and reaching out to grasp a dream. It’s something millions of people around the world also dream and aspire to do. I just happen to be writing about it online.

Combine with that my travel photography, travel resources for everyone, and stories about real people I meet on the way; and you get this …

• the website is my desk for writing my journals about my journey (Travel blog)
• a wall for hanging my photographs (Travel Photography)
• an open travel resource center to share what I’ve learned about travel with others (travel resources),
• a place to tell you about the people I’ve met that not many tourists get to see (travel stories).
• you can find out a lot more on my about page

My Blog / Travel Journals:

You’ve joined The Longest Way Home at a really interesting time! Currently I usually publish a journal update on my progress, and journey once or twice a week. However, at the moment, I am including a few open commentary articles on the world of travel, living overseas and the changing of world cultures.

You can find a lot more of my Seeing the Unseen articles on my travel stories. These focus on people very few travelers/people get to see.

Trekking in Nepal

I also run another series called Great Food from Around the World. Here I write-up a short entry and photograph on a dish from where I am currently traveling that most travelers can get easy access to. They usually taste really good too!
