A Sock, a Story, and a $4K Irish Adventure Up for Grabs - Don't miss this!
|
Hello Reader, Years ago, I took a long-haul flight that changed my life—because I ended up in the ER with a blood clot and pulmonary embolism. I was lucky...really lucky that I survived. That experience made me start taking compression socks seriously, especially when I travel. Since then, VIM & VIGR compression socks have been a non-negotiable part of my carry-on. Read about my story of contracting blood clots while flying and how they were discovered When I went to VIM & VIGR and asked to partner with them on their first-ever travel-themed sock, I was thrilled when they said yes. I added my Ottsworld colors, a fun airplane design, and stamped the words Go Explore on the sole—a reminder that travel isn’t just about following, it’s about discovery. AND....THE SOCK LAUNCHED TODAY!! SEE IT IN ACTION! On your next trip, arrive safe, with no swelling, and with more energy! Make sure the Go Explore sock is a part of your packing list!

Hello Reader, I hope you all had a great July 4th! I just finished another Capitol Ride - Salt Lake City, UT to Boise, ID! I rode 425 miles (against the wind for the last two days)! And this time I had two Logistics Queens - Diana and Jen. They took incredible care of me while I made it through the desert, the interstate, gravel roads, and super hot days! Thank God for their Super Soaker and good aim to keep me cool! I've now finished my 10th Capitol ride (about 3,500 miles in total!!) I...

Hello Reader, Much like my dad, I like big projects. They consume me and keep me focused on living in the present, rather than just repeating the same old routine day after day. Travel projects have a long-term, purposeful feel, like a bigger mission beyond just “go on a trip.” They make me look at my travels differently than simply roaming around to sights, I travel deeper, slower, and more introspectively when on a travel project. My latest travel project is taking over my dad's old Capitol...
