A name says a lot. Or at least it says something. Whether you’re a local to Travelistic, a rambling passerby, an active contributor or an oggling wanderluster, you might be wondering – “What’s up with the name?”

Well, the travel part is easy. The -istic gets a little more mysterious. And while we love the mystery of it all, things have a way of getting defined.

Who’s defining that which is Travelistic? You are, friends.



We’ve had some great videos uploaded to the site, remarkable moments of travel-adventure-experience-environment that’s really setting the vibe around here. So in the spirit of all things istic, here are five videos that have us jumping out of our seats with trip-envy.

Santarchy
Cockfighting
Art Car Parade
Around the World
Winter Park

The most -istic moment in my recent past has to be sledding on the solid, ice-covered hills of a certain farm in Northern Virginia with windburn and lacerations to prove it. It was a bruise bonanza, can’t remember the last time I laughed so hard. Sometimes I find that the Chinatown Bus can get downright -istic. And as I gear up for 3 guerilla days up at the U.S. Open of Snowboarding in Vermont, I’m sure there’ll be more than a little -istic to share (stay tuned for that).

How about you? What kind of -istic are you into? Email me your stories of adventure and bliss (even if it went down in your backyard) and I’ll post them next week. The two best stories win infamy and a box of sawdust. Give it a whack.
