What is your biggest travel pet peeve?

Mine is when sitting in a hostel and someone starts playing music on their laptop. It's usually crap music and ruins the atmosphere.

What's the ONE thing you never travel without?

My guitar is essential (though currently left at home just due to a hand injury).

Hotel Blog in Suspended

About me

My name is Josh. I've been moving around and working in different places since about 1995. I've been a tech-based working nomad since ~2005. Currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area and hitting the road again in Summer 2010.

I blog on a variety of websites - mostly about technology, Web publishing, and travel. I also run HostelManagement.com, a free website that promotes hostels and hostelling from the perspective of the hostels.

I write on travel over at Open Journey (my travel blog).

My background is in Web publishing, SEO, social media, content writing, and hostels. If your company is looking for high-quality, professional travel content, send me a message.
