    Data-Geek Heaven

    Data USA bills itself as “the most comprehensive visualization of U.S. public data.”

    That’s no exaggeration. Check it out.

    Reams and reams of demographic and other data on U.S. cities.

    In case you REALLY want to get to know the city you’re visiting (or your own city).

    Or if you’re like me and just happen to like charts (and cities) … what a combo!

     

    Pasadena, Calif.

    (Ok, this site is officially distracting me from my paper that is due next week. Data is fun!)

      This site is fascinating! I searched my community (La Crescenta) and found an amazing amount of detail on criteria I would never have thought of. Not only would this be useful for travelers, but also for writers! Thanks for sharing this resource.

    • Travel light.

      Efficient, expansive travel requires less, not more. One bag that serves multiple functions. A sarong that's also a towel, blanket or sheet. Clothing layers that pack small and carry light. A daypack with one-reach access to essentials. A pocket for my Chapstick.
    • My OCD

      can make me feel encumbered and anxious. But the lighter I travel the more liberated I feel (as long as my Chapstick and water bottle are within reach).

      "Less" requires planning. For me, honing the art of traveling light is a journey unto itself. And I STILL haven't found the perfect travel bag.
