My 173-Mile Walk on the Camino Portugués
12 days of discovering (in hills and high water mind you) that perhaps my solo travel life is over and that a new more "people'd" part of my life is beginning.
Two Weeks in Ireland
Two weeks in Ireland is behind me, but a newfound love for Irish culture, its people, and its cottage-coated countryside lives on.
Goodbye Oaxaca
It's been a beautiful ride, with ups and downs, and today, in perfect timing, I'm left with one big, bow tie lesson for the whole experience - a gift for the road.
Nicaragua in a Nutshell
Time to catch you up on the adventure that had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish, and without a second to spare to send you my usual travelogue updates.
Managua, I’m Pleasantly Surprised
Managua pleasantly surprised me, as have the locals. In my first 48 hours in Nicaragua, I've felt nothing but welcome, as my route through this entirely unfamiliar country seems to be materializing.
Montezuma to Jacó & Uvita
A quick, flight's-about-to-board recap of the final week and three days of my Costa Rica adventure, one that taught me through experience just what "pura vida" means.
La Fortuna to Sámara, Santa Teresa & Montezuma
Getting over my sinus infection, being a beach bum on sands all over the Nicoya Peninsula, and making friends with Capuchin monkeys that seem to make daily appearances in these parts of Costa Rica
San Jose to La Fortuna, Costa Rica
Headaches and congestion weren't quite the start I had in mind for my Costa Rica adventure, but I'm learning to roll with it - and that I believe is the lesson.
Panajachel, Lago Atitlan
Daily updates from Panajachel on Lago Atitlan in Guatemala, a place that took on new dimension when I unexpectedly tested positive for COVID.
Antigua Caught Me By Surprise
Antigua was only ever supposed to be the “start here” for my unplanned Guatemala adventure. Days turned to two full weeks climbing its volcanoes, meeting its cafes, and chatting up strangers-turned-friends all over town.
First Impressions of Guatemala
A perfectly chaotic airport entrance followed by a majestic drive through jungle-coated landscapes to my cobble-stoned and volcano-surrounded destination: Antigua, Guatemala. My first day recounted in one short post.
The Start of a New Adventure
Cancun, Mexico happens to be the first scene of this grand new adventure, one that involves following my heart over my head step by step by step.
