About Me

My name is Josh Moore (that's Dr. Josh to you, doll!) and I'm a full-time student of anthropology, archaeology, religion, and history. I'm the man behind IndianaJosh.com, the purpose of which is to take family, friends, and all of you reading this along on my travels with me. I've been traveling for years, and writing about it for just as long -- but this is the first time I'll be doing both at the same time, for all the world to see.

Whenever I'm not traveling, the best place to find me is in the university library, where I'm probably studying Biblical Hebrew, researching the latest theories in cognitive archaeology, or writing endless term papers for all of my professors. I'm in love with my studies almost as much as with my travels. Aside from experiencing other cultures firsthand through travel, I think the best way to understand our own place in the world is through the study of its many diversities in terms of history, culture, geography, language, and religion.

About My Travels

"To live is to travel. The world is my home. A backpack and a sense of adventure are all I need in this life."

Forget all the conventional wisdom of traveling; it just doesn't apply here. One-way tickets, a rucksack with only the bare necessities, a sleeping bag, and a sense of adventure are the only things I travel with. I travel rough, I travel dirty. I've explored the world living off of nothing more than a handful of cash and the contents in my backpack. I've climbed mountains in Africa, jumped off waterfalls in Morocco, gotten totally lost and crossed into hostile territories with rebels and civil wars, trekked through the Sahara Desert with Bedouin nomads, and explored the Middle East by foot, camel, donkey, bike, car, bus, train, and plane. I've been through bustling markets and bazaars, jungles and rainforests, deserts larger than the entire United States, medieval imperial cities, ancient ruins, tribal villages, and that's just for starters...

Travel with me as I embark on new adventures to new places, seeking out new experiences and new ways of looking at the world. Be a part of my journey.
