Peru

Details are Hazy My trip to Peru was in May 2011, many years before I began my travel blog, so details may be a little blurry. The good news is, I took so many photos on this trip – probably the most I’ve ever taken during one journey. They will help me piece everything together…

Honduras: Rain in Roatan

I’ll just come right out and say it. This trip was a disaster. For years I’ve dreamed of swimming and snorkeling the paradise that is Roatan, and sadly, I was flooded out the entire four-night stay. My fault for booking this trip during the rainy season. This was in the very beginnings of my extreme…

I’m a Guay??? No, Uruguay!

Humble Beginnings Where do I start? I’m going to attempt to write about a trip that happened over 10 years ago. Luckily, I snapped a few photos and videos, and still have my airline itineraries saved to my email – so I’ll try and piece the details of this trip together the best I can,…

Humble Beginnings Argentina was near the very beginning of my exploratory travels, at country number 11. Besides Brasil and Mexico, most of my traveling experience was made up of quick cruise stops with my family…pretty much jumping off the boat for a few hours with hoards of other tourists, to go on a pre-arranged “excursion,”…

Ramblin’ Tip: I was virtually out of vacation days, but was able to make some magic happen and take nine days off from work while using no vacation days!

Barbados

QuikTrip My Barbados stop was one of the shortest stays, on a ten-country Caribbean jaunt that was only nine days long. I landed at 8:20PM and would leave the next day at 12:30PM, so we’re talking only a couple of hours to really enjoy this island. Such a shame, because it’s a gorgeous place! It…

Canada

Not Your Normal Trip Canada was only my sixth country–a long, long time ago, and over a decade before I started keeping this online journal of my travels…nonetheless, an absolutely epic trip; a trip with a purpose. As crazy as this sounds, I traveled all the way to Canada with the sole purpose of visiting…
