Let me tell you, there is nothing quite like traveling alone. It will bring you up against some of your strongest fears, force you to confront difficulties, and create confidence. There are also no competing itineraries as anything you want to do can be done. But it also creates so much time to yourself, which can be frightening.Continue reading “Going Solo through Patagonia”

16 Days
16. Steer clear of judgment. People are beautiful if only observed under the proper light. Enjoy all the colors they may shine. It’s so easy to judge because it’s a natural thing to do. We’ve needed to judge our surroundings for survival and many other reasons in human history but it can also be toxicContinue reading “16 Days”

20. Trust your judgment. More often than not, you are smarter than you look. On the first flight of this trip, me and my friend asked about where we needed to pick up our bags.

21. When you run into a roadblock, stop. Don’t panic or complain, take stock of your options. While it may seem crippling to be set back, you never know when you’ll stumble into something great and possibly even better. But it only gets better when we accept our place and make the most of it.
100 Days

It’s been a great ride, but that’s expected when you stop working and don’t stop visiting new placesContinue reading “Wild Galapagos”
