The Story of My Life

Dear Andy,
All of your comments are wonderful and your the greatest thing since canned peachs. We love you and would never want to upset you. We all know you are very handsome since your pic is on the web. Please be happy!!!! Please turn these comments off since it also drives us crazy knowing we upset you.

Love,
Your number 1 fan. :-)

Please don't become one of the crowd.

hi andy,
i think u have a interesting blog, and enjoy both ur diary and articles. so why not do both in the same blog? that way u can write an article which requires more effort and time whenever u feel like it, rather than have to do it to post regularly. also why dont u link ur new website www.hobohideout.com to this blog? I think it is a good idea that website, i hope those private people who want to offer a room in their own flat or house might be tempted to join in. a lot of us travellers would prefer to live in private housing with people who live there. and if each person who offers his house or flat for visitors can say something about themselves, hobbies, lifestyle, etc they might find kindred spirits who would prefer to stay with them rather than in a inpersonal hotel or guest house.

I say travel articles over travel diary. No reason to put a diary up on the web.

trust me, it's gonna get better. lol, at least you got SOME travel stories.
i realy enjoy reading your blog. I t made me smile and i'm glad i found it. Keep write'n!!!

Travel Articles or Diary, one is a job, the other is my personal journey. I am trying to decide if I want or need a job.

Yummy canned peaches. > not peachs.

Hello Andy,

I also say that it would be interesting to do both on the same blog. But I think that it would be helpful if you had a special "travel articles" index page that you could link the articles and time-consuming posts from. Then readers could browse the travel articles index when they feel like reading something a little more researched.

I do something similar here Vagabond Journey Travel Articles (ignore the corny bio information . . . I use this page for other purposes as well.)

But, to reinstate what I wrote to you earlier, I think that you have a real unique writing style that could be really amazing if you were to cultivated it further.

I say that if you enjoy the work, put the time into it. If not, we will continue reading your more spontaneously composed posts.

Walk Slow,

Yes, Andy! There are people who want to hear the unedited truth about travel life. There are folks who want to hear an authentic, original and sincere voice.

So much of the heart of your value to your readers is that you are true to yourself and not a sell-out. This is part of your unique place in the world. Keep on keeping it real.

As the lady said to you, "You are the only Andy!" = )

Merry Christmas 2010
