What am I thinking?!
My name is Nick Taylor-Vaisey. I have an undergrad degree in political science and a few clippings in newspapers and magazines around Canada. I live in Ottawa.
I saved some money this summer and, with minimal planning and as much spontaneity as I can muster, I am setting off on a 30-day bus voyage across (parts of) North America.
Ambitious, I know. How can anyone hope to appreciate Canada's east coast and America's eastern seaboard, gulf coast, and west coast while peering out the windows of a Greyhound bus?
Well, follow along and see how I do. I have a camera and expect to see a few friends along the way. There might even be some cameos.
Stay tuned.

That's so cool man. I can't believe you're down there.
Find your soulmate, Homer!
Big sky country! To get the flavour, read Tony Hillerman's novels. Sky and distant mountains play a key role. I can imagine how clear the night sky is.
Almost cloudless sky, compared to the snow you had in Colorado. Incredible.
Yeah, Peterborough kicks New Mexico's ass when it comes to petroglyphs.
I was waiting for you to chime in, Dave. This post was directed at you alone.
Haha, I kind of had a hunch that it was.
