About the site
My name is Adam Mayfield and I was born in Bend, Oregon and moved around quite a bit in Oregon and California. I did a fair amount of traveling as a teen and was able to see much of the United States. From that point on I had caught the bug.
The travel bug had a hold of me and was not letting go. I got side tracked for many years trying to have what I call an “abnormal” life. I am of course talking about…
- A good steady job (with a retirement)
- A house and mortgage payment
- A car payment
- More stuff than I knew what to do with
- And of course credit card debt
I have since shed 90% of my excess items and debt and am currently working my way toward traveling on a more perpetual basis until I find a place I like enough to stay put.
My objective with this blog is document my progress. You will find just about everything here. This site is called the Vagabond Guide but it will be much much more than that. I hope to fill it with news, reviews, how-to guides, and anything else that comes to mind.
