Falling in love in 4 days
Salta. My love. I miss you so. From copious amounts of fernet, to awe-inspiring views, and, of course, fantastic people, I was blown away. What’s crazier? No one talks about it. It’s all Patagonia this, Iguazú that, but man… I’ll be damned if Salta isn’t a top 2 experience by…

End of phase one: Changing of the guard
I’m the last one standing. Don’t you just love these hyper-dramatic one-liners I rip off to start every post? I really should have done theater growing up cause I would be an absolute stud. Maybe I’ll start my engineer-to-business man-to-actor arc after this trip. Kidding. Unless… Anyways back to the…

My first side quest: a World Wonder
Until this mini-trip, I was being kinda lazy. I told myself spending the first 4 weeks in Buenos Aires without planning other travels around the country was just cause I was getting settled in, learning the culture, and improving my speaking skills to be functional before traveling around. But I…

Ignorance is bliss – Knowledge is motivation
I hate running. I know I’ve already told you all this when I ran my pseudo-marathon a couple months ago. For those of you new here, yeah, I ran a 1.1 miles/1.8 kilometers every hour for a 24-hour period even though I hate running. I also hate scorching heat w/…

Travel snafus & turning lemons into lemonade
It happened. Something went wrong. Okay maybe I’m being a tad dramatic; I didn’t wake up in a ditch with an unknown tattoo or anything like that… yet. But if all went as planned I’d be enjoying one of the 7 natural world wonders right now on the border of…

Phase 1 – Carpe Diem (but w/ care)
I am exhausted. Living a slow lifestyle in Byron Center with zero responsibilities to your name isn’t exactly taxing – mentally or physically. For the last 6 months, my toughest challenge has been the “Hard” New York Times Sudoku. I’m now on day 18 of moving to a foreign country…

“Ay mierda” moments
Hola! Vivo en Sud America ahora. Well sorta… for 3 months with a host family. Then another month as a crazy nomad. Emphasis on crazy. Anyways, I’m alive and well as today is my second day here. So much has already happened it’s crazy I can’t even begin to consider…

Hello from Houston International Airport – the start of our journey !
Gooooood evening my friends and family! The day of my departure has arrived, the countdown has officially hit zero. I know this may be very sad for some of you, but I’m not a fool; I KNOW there are just as many (if not more) of you celebrating the fact…

Day -1: Leaving one chapter and entering another
I leave in less than a day. Tomorrow at 8:46am. Crazy to think about, yet it hasn’t really hit. Anyone else get that way? Like you know in your head you’re about to do something absolutely crazy, start a new chapter of your life, or otherwise just shake things up…
