Amtrekker
Hey Team,
I’m an unemployed vagrant. All I have is a backpack full of technology, a shoestring budget and a very important list. When everything is crossed off my list I get to go home! Let me know if you want to trade one of those shoestrings for help. brett@amtrekker.com

A Beach By Any Other Name…Sucks: Hey Team, There’s so much I didn’t get to write about last week that I would have loved to share but thanks to a near 72-hour driving stint I feel so far behind. I guess just one quick story and then we’ll have to pretend we’re caught up. I made a pit stop in Pensacola, FL last […]    read more
#34 Scale the Lowest Highest Point in a State [podcast]: Hey Team, Here it is…let’s just pretend I cross the international dateline or something. I’d hate to have to admit I actually missed a deadline. Okay, less talk more action. I hope this one is up to par, I didn’t have a lot of time this week that wasn’t taken up by either driving or sitting on […]    read more
Lowest Highest Point.: Hey Team, Here’s the skinny: I’m supposed to be in Utah by the 19th to go fly-fishing but getting across the country is expensive…so sometimes you have to get creative. I was checking craigslist.org for rideshares a few days ago and came across an ad for a guy who is moving to San Francisco and needs his […]    read more
Should’ve Listened to Detective Thorn: Hey Team, When I was in Orlando the other day I got to go through the Magic Kingdom for the first time since I worked there almost five years ago. I had a good time, but something was just a little off the entire time I was there. I wouldn’t necessarily call my time at Disney World […]    read more
#39 Motorcycle rally [podcast]: Hey Team, Here it is! One more step closer to home! Biketoberfest was quite an experience, I’m glad I get to share a little piece of that with you. #39 Motorcycle rally. Enjoy. Loading… Thanks for watching. If you like the podcasts be sure to head over to iTunes and subscribe…and write a glowing review. I’m done. Brett. If you liked this […]    read more
The Green Kid: Hey Team, This week has definitely been unique and I have to admit I’m a little frustrated right now. So many interesting things have happened that I’d love to be writing about and there’s just not enough room on the page. Hopefully over the next couple days it’ll all spill out, but there’s SO much editing […]    read more
Fish out of water(…and into retaw?): Hey Team, Question: What happens when you find yourself tossed in the middle of a huge group of people that have nothing in common with you (besides maybe the fact that they’re bipedal) yet EVERYTHING in common with each other, thus making you as out of place as possible? Answer: You find yourself one step closer to […]    read more
I Swung Danced [video]: Hey Team, I had an unexpectedly entertaining night jam packed with me making a fool of myself. You may not all know this, but as it turns out, the music portion of my brain is either missing or broken. As a result, my ability to listen to music is almost non-existent. This makes some relatively simple […]    read more
Whose life is it anyway?: Hey Team, Wow. What a surreal day. Have you ever had that feeling that the life you’re leading maybe isn’t yours? Say, hypothetically, one day you suddenly find yourself thinking, “What will my life been when I’m 26? Will I be married? Will I have a kid? What kind of steady job will I have?” And […]    read more
The Other Orange County: Hey Team, Just a quick update to keep all you hip kids “in the know.” I’m sitting in the Orlando airport, it’s 4am and I have a flight to Ohio at 7am. And if everything goes well, by next weekend I’ll have knocked out the one thing on my list I was most concerned with pulling […]    read more
