It's Cold, Because I Know That

Salt Lake and Provo have been experiencing cold temperatures the likes of which we haven't seen in years. I'm qualified to say that, unlike most everyone in Provo, because I've lived here for 24 years. Usually I get really annoyed with all comments on how each year's winter seems to be stacking up to the previous winters, but this time, when I hear people complain that it's unusually cold, I agree.

As unscientific as this sounds, it hit me just how cold it's been when I walked out of work into seventeen degree weather and felt warm by comparison. So weird.

In good news, it means 'tis the season to share what I believe is the greatest video available on all of YouTube. All of it. Really. Please share this post and video with your friends who don't know about the Canadian Border Patrol.

Stowaway Magazine in Video!

Remember how I worked on Stowaway magazine? You've seen it in full color spreads, but now you can see it in moving pictures! Check out this video on us. Feel free to eat a tootsie roll for every time you find me in it.

Explore, dream, discover with Stowaway magazine

Last winter semester, I worked editing Stowaway magazine with a whole staff of awesome people. I think our issue turned out splendidly. This really is a great travel magazine for those who want a view of the world without the price or experience of tourism. The articles have lots of tips on how to really dig into the sands, the foods, and the thrill of a place.

You can find my articles on pages fifteen and twenty-three and my editing everywhere. I'm also a big fan of the articles on cooking with quinoa, kayaking the Bahamas, finding your roots, and working on organic farms—all great traveling ideas, except the quinoa; it's just tasty.

There's lots more where that came from. Other issues available at stowawaymag.com/

Going somewhere?

This semester I'm working as the assistant managing editor and the web director of Stowaway magazine. Stowaway is a travel magazine for young adults who like to go to the most exotic of places for the price of Provo. It's got great photography and great tips. While you're looking forward to my articles in the fall 2012 issue, you can get started reading the winter 2012 issue at this link.
