Eating and Hiking through Lima and Cusco, Peru
March 25 – April 5, 2022 Lima, you are everything my tastebuds have ever wished for. Cusco, you are nostalgia and history, a reminder to step outside and enjoy this wondrous world as slowly as we can. Peru is the second country I have visited in South America, Brazil being the first and only to…

Belgium. Beer, Chocolate, Repeat.
September 20-28, 2014. Brussels, Bruges, and Ghent, Belgium. I’ve fallen in love with yet another country. Or maybe I’m just a believer in the uniqueness that each beholds. It’s been said Belgium is the most boring country in Europe and I can’t say I share the same opinion. People in the streets, others enjoying their…

Fulfilling Great Expectations in Beautiful Vietnam
April 24, 2014 – May 8, 2014 Bittersweet: Leaving Vietnam. My last iced Vietnamese coffee as I sat in the Hanoi Airport. The ways I love Vietnam are many! It’s a country I was looking forward to visiting for sometime, yet I can’t exactly say why; perhaps I had come across something particular during my…

A Solo Adventure Through Cambodia
April 17-24, 2014 “I think one travels more usefully when they travel alone, because they reflect more.” – Thomas Jefferson I arrived in Cambodia after four fun-filled and water-soaked days of Songkran in Chiang Mai, Thailand. What an experience! When I left Chiang Mai on the night train to Bangkok I immediately did not feel…
