ATC Mission Statement:
Abandon the Cube is... dedicated to motivating and encouraging people to travel, learn about the world's history, write and experience more of life. Humans were not meant to be office creatures, but outdoors men and women with dirt under their nails. We hope everyone can create their chance to Abandon the Cube and find out what life can be.
ATC is also a firm believer in volunteer work. They are currently raising money to sponsor Mercy Mongolia. You can donate to this charity through the ATC website by clicking on the FirstGiving tab to the left.

Humor & Beer
What's any trip without booze, laughs and friends? Wondering where the beer went? Check out the Breakfast Beer page. If that doesn't quench your thirst, the humor page will have something amusing to ease your humor-parched lips, and if all else fails, the blog should at least provide you with something quasi-educational to do while avoiding your work.
