Update (as of Aug 7th): So yes I changed my name on here and just using my real one as well as moving to Facebook to keep up with people. So please add me 'Duane Batcheler'. I will still be using Myspace to post some pics and blogs on here.
I’m done traveling for a bit and now working with a group called ‘Bona Fide’ on Ometepe Island in Nicaragua to learn permaculture over the next 6 months or so before building a community. I’m also working with a few groups on putting together a documentary on permaculture. If you’re interested in visiting or volunteering please (Volunteering on Ometepe)
In September of 2004 I decided to sell everything I own and travel the world starting with Central and South America (See Blog) until April of 2006 when I broke my collar bone in Argentina. After a brief recovery at home I went to Europe for World Cup and to run with the bulls in Spain (See Blog). After that I flew to Singapore and traveled through SE Asia and then up through China and into Tibet, Nepal and India. Then I flew to Hungary and worked my way to Turkey and through the Middle East and Africa (See Pics Set 1 and Set 2) starting with Egypt. From there I rode buses, trains, trucks, boats, and every other type of transport to get to Cape Town, South Africa. Then I flew up to Morocco and eventually took a boat to Gibraltar.

It may seem like I have a lot of ‘friends’ on MySpace but I try to keep up with everyone on a personal basis or at least through blogs. If you want automatic updates (Click Here).
We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.
