I’ve changed. Over the past seven months in South America I’ve changed quite a bit as a traveling. I’ve been taking a quality of quantity approach, traveling slower  and more thoughtfully. As a result some of my old habits aren’t quite cutting it anymore. One of the biggest things I’ve done on this trip that [...]

ur shuttle bus dropped us on a dirt road in the dark, but we knew where to go into the rainforest because of the small planted lights that led the way. After turning a corner, we were served bubbly and hors d’oeuvres from an outdoor bar, in a small clearing with a few smaller trees [...]

I have too many hospital stories from abroad. Each and every time I was sick, I stayed at a horrible hostel. I just want to sleep, rest, no one to bother me, and to be comfortable. I don’t want to pay for an expensive hotel either though. Is it really too much to ask for just comfort while I’m sick?

I don’t like fish. They are slimy and smelly and bony and weird. Given the choice, I’d rather eat just about anything else (this does not extend to shellfish which will I inhale, I only loathe the suckers with scales). Yes, even sushi. I’ve always been kind of ambivalent about the stuff. Even after eating [...]

Or: How NOT to Visit Pablo Neruda’s House. As I was originally voicing my doubts about Santiago, everyone told me “you HAVE to visit Valparaíso.” While I generally bristle when people tell me I have to do anything (just ask Mike), I figured it was probably wise to see at least something in Chile outside [...]

Three years ago today I left for Beijing, China to start my trip. Since then, I’ve been to 18 countries and lived at least a month in 5 of them. I saved roughly $15,000 before the start of the trip and have not worked in the US since then.

Oh Santiago, it wasn’t (completely) your fault. I really wanted to like you. You seemed like the sleeker, moderner cousin to Buenos Aires. Chile has the best economy in South America, and you struck me as a city that really had itself together. Something about the name, Santiago, is so beautiful to me. If we’d [...]

I think that our decision to come home this May surprised people a bit. It surprised US, to be honest. We originally expected to be traveling up through Bolivia and Peru, which would put us in South America until late June. As I’ve mentioned before in the past though, when you know, you know.
