Wow, what a journey this has been. At first I thought the journey was about finding my tail. Then, I came to realize it was about not chasing my tail. Only to come to realize in the end, it was simply about listening to and giving voice to it. My parents always wondered why I […]

Yesterday I heard my parents talking about a post in the Panamerican Travelers forum. In it, a member had asked a question.

He told us it wasn’t really worth it. So, I had to cross some borders illegally. I didn’t like being stuck behind a […]

During our travels I’ve had the opportunity to call many places home. Home has been in villages, cities, jungles, and nature reserves… on beaches, lakes and farms. I’ve made a lot of new friends in these places that I now consider family; humans, animals and dogs alike. Almost every place we stay, I am taken […]

One of my favorite things about this trip has been the coconuts. I love coconuts! It all started with coconut oil when I was young. There were a lot of coconuts in Mexico, and just as many in the Caribbean. The places we have stayed have coconuts in the trees and on the ground. Even […]
