Being one of the of the first people on Blogabond I feel attached to this project.
Hanging out with it's creator, Jason Kester, gives me an advantage to making impressions on getting the site to be better and easier. While I try to catch up with him around the world and even hire him to do other cool projects, I find myself loving blogabond.com more and more.

Having been a laptop lugging world traveler for quite some time now, this site has always been like a dream for me. What better way is there to journal, scrapbook and map your adventures online? Plus, it's a great way to keep your family informed that you are still alive, and to educate them on some obscure geography along the way!

I like to travel. I like blogabond.com Are you ready for the Geospatial web, fellow traveler?

    Panda Reserve

    Chengdu, China


    AM: Visit Panda Breeding Center, way cooler than any zoo. If you love cute fury critters, don't miss the panda reserve, especially the baby nursing area. Go rain or shine, it's not to be missed! Also check out the red Pandas (the lesser panda), they are sometimes overlooked, but you can pay to hold and pet them!

    PM: Drive to Emei Shan (Emei Mountain) area and see local Herb Farms. 3 star Emei Shan hotel. Also, take a dip in the lovely and huge hot springs around the corner! They even had herbal baths to take a dip in. You can even buy a pair of retro swimming trunks for a few bucks, sweet.
