  • What it’s like chasing the Runner’s High

    Oh hey there, just stopping in here for a breather. The post you’re about to read is something that has sat in my drafts for quite some time; the timelines may not make sense, but the takeaways are still all so relevant. Makes sense? No? Too bad, keep up. First…

  • Guess who’s back… back again

    Guess who’s back… back again

    So I lied. That whole thing about continuing writing when I got home? Yeah I EPICALLY failed at that. Matter of fact, I failed a lot of the things I said I was going to do. How badly you ask? Let’s do a quick review why don’t we: Yeah I…

    Letting the credits roll: an epilogue

    So this is my actual goodbye. 6 countries. 189 days. Innumerable memories. It’s been unbelievable. But I’ve already recounted a vast chunk of my trip to you all. Here. So instead of doing it again, I want to focus on what I’m grateful for.

  • A grand homecoming

    A grand homecoming

    The day has finally come. You can set a countdown clock for when you get to stop watching my obnoxious travel photo dumps over a cup of coffee before your morning commute (if you have Instagram that is… and if you haven’t already muted or, better yet, blocked me). I’m…

  • A divine moment amongst the clouds

    Could I feel my hands or toes? Nope. But it didn’t matter because I was experiencing a gift from God. A crew of us went to Bariloche last weekend – the “gateway” to Patagonia. It’s a beautiful small city located on a lake in Argentina that is heavily trafficked by…

    Mistakes and discovery – midpoint reflections

    And just like that Ive got a month left in my temporary home of Buenos Aires. Wild man. There’s this weird duality I’ve realized with traveling that it goes by in a blink of an eye, but at the same time you feel like you’ve lived 20 lives over. It…

    Scenes from Rio + Carnaval

    You ever just say “eh, why not” and then find yourself in a foreign country partaking in the world’s biggest party? No? Yeah fair enough. Rio. My lord what a beautiful city. Unforgettable. Never seen something quite like it. It’s as if it can’t decide if it wants it’s identity…

  • Be too stupid to be scared

    Hola, otra vez! I’m still alive and well! So much has changed since we last spoke. To realize it’s only been like 5 days is so crazy to me. I already understand the bus system, can navigate around certain parts without maps, and can get my with enough Spanish for…

    My 24-hour marathon – FAQs

    I told you it was gonna happen. It’s my “Ah, screw it” year. Now when I said that I didn’t mean screw myself over, but sitting here less than 24 hours after finishing, I can confidently say my legs do not like this program. I’ve been getting a lot of…
