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.
