  • Two Years Off the Road – San Juan Island, WA

    Wow, has it really been that long? Ally says she’s surprised at how well I’ve adapted to a new life that has almost completely altered my identity. Although, it hasn’t been as smooth as she makes it out to be. When I hung my clothes in the closet of the apartment above my mom’s garage,…

  • International Herb Symposium – Wheaton College – Norton, MA

    What an unusual weekend! Ally, Edna Lu the teabus, and I spent almost a month making our way from Austin to Boston for the International Herb Symposium. The whole trip was interesting because on one hand I had committed to the event, but on the other hand, it didn’t feel like the event had committed…

  • Austin Tea Parties – Austin, TX

    Ahhhh, a great little break for the tea bus. Edna (the tea bus) and I had been on the road, serving tea, and working pretty hard for the previous five month, and Austin offered us a place to decompress, do some bus projects, and serve a little tea. After an interesting first tea serving experience…

  • Spring Update – Austin, TX

    Hello, friends and family! Two years ago on March 20th, Edna Lu (the tea bus) and I started a 2+ year North American Tour. This tour was imagined as a journey around the continent with no itinerary, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the places that we visit, be of service, and share conversations…

  • Thankful in Terlingua – Big Bend Country, TX

      While at Artwalk Alpine, I was convinced not to be scared of Border Patrol checkpoints (think pounds and pounds of green leafy material – i.e. tea), and that Terlingua and Big Bend National Park were both places worth going. So, after a couple days of rest and recuperation, I drove southward. My only connection…

  • Back to School – Portland, OR

      After such success in Bellingham at Western Washington University, I decided that it would be fun to serve tea at more college campuses. College age people are eager to learn, eager to see what lies beyond the bounds that older folks have laid out for them to operate within. My buddy Owen has a…

  • Oly Moly – Olympia, WA

    I’ve driven through Oly many-a-times, but never really stopped here. I’ve known many people who went to Evergreen, heard about this city from many on the road, and my dad even lived here briefly. From all I had heard, I knew the tea bus would be welcome here. I was glad to have no itinerary…

  • Free Tea Bus Interview – Palo Alto, CA

    What a better way to bring in the new year than with a fun little video. Shot and edited by a Stanford University woman named Rosie Cima, who I met in early 2012 in Palo Alto. It’s fun!

  • Our Friend Sammy – Friday Harbor, WA

    Sam Carter passed away Thanksgiving night in Friday Harbor, WA. I’ve known him since second grade, and used to be on the same little league team (undefeated, one year). We tend to run into each other on the Island every once and while, and even a few times in Northern CA. I was fortunate to…

  • Tea Bus Video Montage

    A friend of mine sent this to me a while back… Enjoy music by The Kinks and see some tea bus memories… Thanks, Bobby! Free Tea Montage from Bobby Holley on Vimeo.
