Anniversaries have long been a source of nostalgia, remembrance, and reasons to celebrate. From Christmas to July 4 to the passing of a loved one, anniversaries are our way of acknowledging a significant event some number of days or years ago. This week happens to be the very week that I quit my job andContinue reading “One Thought: Memories”

The Return: (North) ‘Merica
Well, it’s late July. Not sure exactly how time travels so quickly but if we could monetize that speed none of us would need to work ever again. In this short time, I realized a few things. First, I kinda sorta needed a job. Second, a shower and haircut were imminent. And third, I wasContinue reading “The Return: (North) ‘Merica”
A Reunion in Haiti – vol. 2
During the week, it was Alexa’s birthday. She runs the childrens’ home and we all ran to a beautiful farm to celebrate the day. The farm was organic and used ingenious methods to grow crops and other plants cheaply and efficiently. It was so much cooler on the top of the mountain where the grassesContinue reading “A Reunion in Haiti – vol. 2”
A Reunion in Haiti – vol. 1
140 days past. Countless memories. Countless people. Countless blessings. It’s pretty incredible up to this point that I haven’t lost anything…or worse. My mind is everywhere.

My final hoursContinue reading “A Reunion in Haiti – vol. 1”

But now, I wanted that city experience again.Continue reading “Riding North”
The Road to Futaleufu
It was back to two backpacks now. The nice part about hiking for 8 days is that you only need to bring one. I left the other in the hotel. Clamoring to the bus station, I rode to Punta Arenas. Another coastal town about 4 hours further south. It was here, the following morning, thatContinue reading “The Road to Futaleufu”
1 Day.
Kayaking Upsala Lake during a mini ‘tsunami’ and living to tell the tale. Even better, exaggerating the story amongst ourselves over dinner that night.
3 Days.
Reconnecting with the joys of camping. There’s just nothing quite like surviving in the great outdoors.
5 Days.
Hiking Fitz Roy by day and having conversations with fellow travelers by night. Nothing else is more beautiful in this world.
6 Days
6. Spending time in Bariloche with new friends hiking, swimming, hitchhiking, and enjoying the scenery. The views of this Lake District hub in Argentina were stunning. It didn’t hurt to make some great friends along the way in Esquel and some of the other smaller towns along the way. Lots of time for reflection atContinue reading “6 Days”
