In a land far, far away, there is a place called Havana where the rivers run free and commercialism has yet to hold a solid grip. Yes, you guessed it. This place is Cuba. Just a few years ago, the gates to this treasured place were opened up to Americans (only about 50 years afterContinue reading “A Hop Across the Pond”

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. 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.

Another coastal town about 4 hours further south. It was here, the following morning, thatContinue reading “The Road to Futaleufu”

10. Descending on the smoky mountain of Machu Picchu. It was dawn. We woke at 3 and started hiking at 5. As the sun shone through, we curled around the trail leading up to the sun gate. It was cloudy and we couldn’t see the famed ruin. So we climbed down the final stretch ofContinue reading “10 Days”

14. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. And definitely don’t be afraid of fixing mistakes. The only thing worse than not making a decision for fear of consequence is ignoring a consequence. I always regretted not going on a semester abroad in college. But that doesn’t mean I couldn’t take my own semester abroad. MyContinue reading “14 Days”
