About Travelhub:
I was raised in Denver, Colorado where I received a degree in Geography from the University of Northern Colorado. I left university several times in order to travel about. I worked in horticultural research between Colorado and Hawaii for a number of years before relocating to New Zealand. I was lucky enough to score a great job in NZ that allowed me six months off a year, which I took full advantage of. For five years I spent six months a year traveling.
My mother adopted two little girls from China which brought me back stateside. I now live in San Diego were I co-host Travel Hub Radio, an internet travel talk show, which keeps my travel lust alive.

Save Route 66
Posted by Travelhub | 21st July 2007
'If you ever plan to motor west
travel my way, the highway that's the best.
Get your kicks on Route 66!'
-Bobby Troup
Route 66 is such an important and fascinating part of American history. During it's hay day Route 66 was a bustling migration route for thousand of folks looking for the American Dream out West. Today the 2,400 mile route from Chicago to LA is in a state of disrepair to put it mildly.
Back in 1926 the legendary number 66 was made official and hundreds of small rural communities were put on the map. John Steinbeck coined the words 'Mother Road' for Route 66 in his 1939 novel The Grapes of Wrath (a must read by the way). In fact it is estimated that more than 200,000 people migrated to California along good old Route 66.
Route 66 IS history...a dying history. Today you can't even find Route 66 on a map. In fact in 1984 the last section of Route 66 was bypassed by Interstate 40. I know I-40 moves quickly and gets you where you're going fast but hello...BORING.

It was amazing to do the Trans-Sib through Russia in the winter. It felt very Dr. Zhivago. I had been to Russia in the summer back in 92'. One of my most memorable moment ever took place in Moscow. My sister and I went ice skating in Gorkey Park. So simple an experiece but how amazing.
