Mike Pugh is a former content developer/freelance writer from Chicago. In October 2003， Mike set off on his own to travel throughout Asia and East Africa for about a year. During his travels， he began developing a travelogue online detailing his adventures. His award-winning online blog www.vagabonding.com has become one of the internet's best known travelogues. Mike has certainly wandered far and wide; he has traveled to Thailand， Laos， India， Egypt， Uganda， Malawi， Swaziland， and South Africa， among many many other destinations. His entries are thoughtful， insightful， and chock full of fascinating examples of the kinds of opportunities to be had on the vagabonding road. His reports are a great resource for those who might be researching their own travels. The website itself is well-designed and easy to browse. Mike supplements his entries with a wealth of photos and videos taken himself on the road. Examples from the experiences he writes about include almost having his treehouse pushed down by a herd of elephants in Kibale National Park， whitewater rafting on the Nile with Lee， his Scottish rafting guide (Get doon! Hard farwards!)， observing and reflecting on the destructive consequences of the US-Vietnam War in Laos， and dining with the newly crowned chief of Swaziland. His wealth of experiences truly make this travelogue a fascinating read. For anyone interested in world travel， www.vagabonding.com is definitely worth a look.
