On the heels of my most recent post on travel, I’ve discovered a blog written by Chris Guillebeau called The Art of Nonconformity.  Wow.

Chris does an obscene amount of traveling: 25 countries per year, with the goal of visiting every country in the world by his 2013.  Holy smokes.

I’m scorching through the archives right now.  Here are a few of my favorite pieces:

• 28 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Started Traveling
• Why You Should Quit Your Job and Travel Around the World
• 24 Ways to Travel for (Almost) Free
• A Short Collection of Unconventional Ideas

What’s the sell on Chris’ blog?  There really isn’t one.  He just writes about what he loves.  For those super 5% of his readers who want to go the extra mile, there’s a product or two for sale (your typical salesguy, on the other hand, pitches for the bigger 95%).    Chris’ 5% has grown so much that can support himself with an above-average salary.

I’m infatuated with the lifestyle Chris has afforded himself.  I’ll see him there, someday.

I also wanted to thank Brett (of Art of Manliness) again for reaching out to thank me.  It’s astounding how easy it is to be social on the internet.
