Swimming in the Blue Waters of a Border Town – Capurgana, Colombia
The trip to Capurgana was not for beginner travelers. You’ll be taking all forms of transportation this trip: bus, boat, and walking. Lots and lots of walking. My journey started in Medellin, Colombia. From Bello, I took a taxi (8,000 COP) to the North Bus Station. From there, I bought a bus ticket to theContinue reading “Swimming in the Blue Waters of a Border Town – Capurgana, Colombia”
When the Calm Meets the Storm
The times I was scared. The times when my phone’s data wouldn’t work and I had no idea where I was. The times when I have to rely on the kindness of strangers for my livelihood. When the calm meets the storm.
Costeño Beach Travel Guide
You’re going to arrive in Santa Marta and leave the airport to one of the aggressive taxi drivers. Santa Marta is a busy city stuck a few years back. I was bothered by catcalling, but not so much as to not make my way along the Colombian Coast. From Santa Marta’s center (El Mercado), you’reContinue reading “Costeño Beach Travel Guide”
A Day in Oaxaca de Juarez, México
I open my eyes to hugs and laughs. I open Telegram and reply to everyone who had a busy night in Asia while I was sound asleep. I’m brought coffee in bed.

As an American, I realize that a “strict” border is a normal border to everyone else. I’m not blind to that, and that’s why I am alwaysContinue reading “Why I decided against going across every Central American land border before 2022”
When Things Go Wrong
It’s often said that social media is a highlight reel of someone’s life. While I agree, I wish to leave that ideal world on social media and describe the good, bad, and ugly of my travels on this blog. There are many times when I am traveling that things don’t go as planned. I live,Continue reading “When Things Go Wrong”
Tengo que conocer a otras artes
Hoy comencé un nuevo libro y esta cita viene de él. Entonces, quería escribir de todas formas de la cita, y cómo aplica a la vida y a mis viajes. Cuando estaba en París, estaba conociendo el arte que ya conocí desde antes. Creo que por eso no me gusta París para nada. Un arteContinue reading “Tengo que conocer a otras artes”
Paris, Part One
I know that my perspective on Paris is not a very popular one. This is most likely because the average person can not live the posh, dreamed reality that many people view Paris to be. Visiting Paris is inspiring, especially in good company, but living in Paris is quite dreadful, or as dreadful as aContinue reading “Paris, Part One”
