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

Stylish Dead Folks: Hey Team, Between twitter making me lazy and being stuck in a hearse for a week (Who would have ever thought I’d have the opportunity to say that and mean it?) there hasn’t been much new info up here in the last few days. But SO much has happened and so much is in the process […]    read more
The Wonderful World of Greyhound: Hey Team, I stepped up into the doorway resigned to the upcoming fifty-three hour marathon only to be slapped in the face by a wall of stale air. A quick look around shows only one empty seat; not leaving me the usual option of scouring the bus for the least stained place to plant myself. It’s […]    read more
Thank You: Hey Team, Today is the 365th day of Amtrekker. (Although officially tomorrow is the first anniversary…wacky leap year.) It’s hard to believe I’m still out on the road after all this time. I’m not sure which PART is hard to believe. Is it more of a surprise that it has taken me this long to accomplish […]    read more
“Food” Stops: Hey Team, It’s no secret that Greyhound is a long boring ride no matter where you’re going. (And mysteriously, I’m relatively sure, every ride takes about twenty-four hours.) But the problem I ran into yesterday was pretty unique and I’m not sure how much of it Greyhound was to blame for but they always make a […]    read more
TASTHIB - City Museum - St. Louis, MO [podcast]: Hey Team, On my last day in St. Louis I finally took everyone’s advice and checked out the City Museum, a magical land of wonder and recycled architecture. Seriously guys, this place rocked. It’s made completely out of recycled products. People tear down a building or are looking to get rid of their private jet and these […]    read more
“Hey Kettle You’re Looking Kinda…Black”: Hey Team, I’ve never made any attempt at keeping secret the fact that Greyhound is my least favorite method of travel. There are some pretty unsavory characters rolling around those terminals. When I was traveling to St. Louis I had the privilege of sharing the bus with an older man with a bushy white beard, a head […]    read more
Walk It Off: Hey Team, I’ve recently discovered two very interesting and telling facts about the people living in this great country of ours. 1. NO ONE’S concept of “walking distance” is the same as mine. And 2. NO ONE has any concept of distance. Period. I explored the better part of St. Louis by foot today and for the most part it […]    read more
I HATE: Hey Team, I’m sure there are a few of you out there that already know this but I don’t think I’ve ever written about it so most of you are probably in the dark. There are precious few things in this life that I would file under the category of “Things Brett Hates.” All in all […]    read more
