Welcome to Rhoades Less Traveled!

Hi my name is Keith Rhoades and I am an adventurist/travel writer. I have created this website to showcase locations I have traveled around the world both in my own backyard of the United States and Globally.  My goal is to help other backpackers and travelers with their journeys and also work with publishers and tourism boards with their publications, literature, and brochures.

Please check back often as I am always adding new content including "Trip of the Week" and Photos! Drop me a line and say hi, let me know a place to showcase or to request to be put on my mailing list.

 
Nicaragua and Honduras

ImageI've returned from my latest international backpacking adventure to Central America.  Over the course of two weeks I traveled Nicaragua & Honduras visiting Managua, Granada, Leon, Tegucigalpa, Comayagua and Valle De Angeles with stops at Mayan ruins, active volcanoes, Spanish colonial towns and tropical rain forests. Also along the way, I encountered several locals who enriched my experience especially one young Nicaraguan boy named Jose!  Be sure to  Check out the daily adventures and view photos of this adventure!

 

Trip of the Week

ImageOne of my favorite field trips as a child was the Museum of Natural History in Los Angeles.  It was an annual affair it seemed and every time I was jut fascinated with this museum.  But, as with many things in Los Angeles, I had not returned in years…decades.  This week after nearly 30 years I returned to the Natural History Museum and again was in awe of the collection which some of it was new and digitalized while others exhibits appeared untouched by time.
