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

Paging Butt: Hey Team, I seem to be in New York. I’m not sure how these things happen. A few hours ago I was still in the relative warmth and comfort of California and undecided as to what New Year’s Eve would bring. Last night I finally decided to cash in on an offer to join some people in […]    read more
More Christmas Jeer: Hey Team, I just made the trek up to Northern California to meet with a couple people before deciding on New Years plans (of course I suddenly realize the new year is closing in fast). But let’s take a quick step backwards to Christmas. It was good to see the family again, even if it was in […]    read more
Ka-COW!: Hey Team, I learned another very important lesson today. No matter how dopey and stupid and slow cows look…they’re not. It’s just a scam perpetrated by the entire species to lull us into a false sense of superiority. Unfortunately for me, every once in a while one of these little critters decides to show it’s true […]    read more
Udderly Strange Christmas: Hey Team, This might be the strangest Christmas I have had the opportunity to live though. Bare in mind, that’s saying quite a bit. My family isn’t one that is necessarily steeped in tradition and as such I’ve seen Christmas’s celebrated out of suitcases packed with fake Christmas trees come and go, with carols being sung […]    read more
#46 See a Movie at the Alamo Drafthouse [podcast]: Hey Team, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Hope you all enjoy my present to you this year! (I’m just going to go ahead and assume your gift to me is going to be spreading the word about www.amtrekker.com.) Loading… And for all you folks out there in the same boat as illot the douchebag and Dan…here’s your youtube link. I’m done. Brett. Tired of skinny […]    read more
Home Is Where the Headache Is: Hey Team, So, let’s try to answer that “home question” today. Home has become such a nebulous concept for me lately…especially since technically, I don’t have one. I’ve always said, “I’m not going home until EVERYTHING is crossed off the list.” And of course, I don’t intend to, but after being away from home for so […]    read more
California Bum: Hey Team, I’ve had a great few days in Southern California! The weather has been pretty nice and I’ve had some consistently good company to kill time with as I wait for my parents to make the trip down. As far as I know the current plan is for my folks to pick me up and […]    read more
#15 Arkansas Crater of Diamonds [podcast]: Hey Team, Yep. Still behind on videos. But here’s your early Christmas present, and furthermore, you have my solemn word that the next video will be there for you by Christmas morning so you can sit down next to your nice warm coal fueled fire and see what I’ve been up to in my never-ending travels. That […]    read more
Show Me…Good People: Hey Team, I’ve had a couple experiences recently that have done a great job of backing up my belief that the world is FILLED with awesome people eager to help a stranger in need…or maybe just help a stranger regardless of whether or not they are “in need.” The exciting thing is these experiences weren’t even […]    read more
The Totally Rad Experience: Hey Team, Being back in California almost feels like cheating. No, I’m still not going home until everything is crossed off the list (which is reeking havoc on my family’s holiday plans) but I feel so comfortable here that sometimes I wonder what home really means. (Pretty deep, I know. We better save that particular pondering […]    read more
