Welcome, (finally) to the Blog of Bendiana Jones!!

This has been a long time coming, for sure.

Over the past 5 years, many people have been asking me to document my travels and adventures in one place. For some reason or another, it never was really a huge priority for me.

However, as time wore on, I saw that indeed a single place for my writings, philosophies, ideologies, videos, pictures, etc. was beneficial in too many ways to ignore.

Thus, www.bendianajones.com was born - of which this blog is the community offshoot.

Although the website itself was a total blast to design, I was much more excited about getting this blog up and running. I know that everyone and their dog has a blog nowadays, and I would venture to say that only 5% of those blogs are regularly updated. I hope to avoid that common trap by creating a place for other travelers and adventurers to be featured, with pictures, links, videos, and a detailed write up. The thing is, there are A TON of really cool adventure-based blogs out there. My guess is that the people behind the curtains are pretty interesting themselves - and I hope to showcase them.

A funny thing is, it really is hard to write about yourself...I'm sure Im not the only one who hates writing a bio, because you hate to come across as conceited starting every sentence with "I". Well, hopefully I can remedy the gaps in these neat blog profiles by shining some light on the individual exploits of their creators.

Everyone, I think, is an adventurer at heart. This manifests itself in different ways, but the feeling of primal satisfaction in the exploration of the unknown and the danger of pushing yourself to limit both physically and mentally is hard to beat.

In the coming days look for the first of many features on fellow travelers.

Also, FYI, I have a MAJOR adventure being planned here pretty soon...I wont give all the details right now but it involves a single engine airplane being flown across the world...piloted by a 68 year old woman. With me in the cockpit......
