My approaches to countries and domain names are, apparently, quite similar. If things don’t seem right, I like to switch to get a fresh perspective, see if things can’t be more interesting. Good or bad, it’s the way I am.
Soooooooo… am working on moving this travel blog to a new website/domain. Changes should be [...]

I heard this from a friend last summer:
“Someone once said that moving is the closest thing there is to freedom.”
Is that why we travel?

(Why is she referring to herself in the third person?)
An update is in order. You may have notice that my recent posts have been pretty all over the place and not remotely chronological. This is because I am not traveling at the moment. I doubt there any many people who’d be interested in tales of [...]

One night in Guatemala last summer, I did not know what to do.
I’d been invited to a birthday party. It would be fun. Problem was, it was being held at a fancy Mediterranean restaurant in Pasaje Enriquez, and I didn’t want to spend the money.
But I didn’t want to miss the fun, either. [...]

Teaching in Korea is a no-go, for reasons that I don’t want to get into here (despite being an over-sharer.) I’m seriously considering just working in Canada for 4-5 months before heading back to Mexico, but I’m also applying to jobs and internships in a gazillion other countries.
I always suffer from bad reverse culture [...]

I’d like to say that the giant pile of clothes that my backpack regurgitated on the floor three days ago is just a habit I’ve picked up from being on the move so much. Nope. I am a messy person in almost all cases.
But the long-term traveler will pick up a lot of habits [...]

En route back to Canada today through Charlotte, North Carolina.
I still have much more to write about Latin America, so that is what will probably fill the blog while I’m doing nothing in Canada for a bit.
Cuidate.

It turns out that I really like teaching English. I’m still not great at it, and I still get shaky when I get up in front of a class, but I really like it. It’s fun, it’s challenging, and it’s engaging. Above all, it’s wonderful to do a job that takes place, for the most [...]

I sometimes complain to a friend that I am having a hard time writing.
“Just write,” she always shoots back. “Just write, even if you don’t feel like it.”
The problem is, I hardly ever do something if I don’t feel like it. I think it’s a character flaw.
I was prepared, more or less, [...]
