Did I jet off to Buenos Aires to escape the winter in Ohio? Sadly no. I have just been thinking a lot about Buenos Aires lately … because… My Buenos Aires City Guide is being published this month! I put so much into researching and writing the book, and I am really […]
Photo Essay: The few things I like about Winter in Ohio
This is my first “real” Winter in three years. I was enjoying the beaches of El Salvador and sweating my ass off in Nicaragua two years ago. Last year at this time I experienced opposite seasons traveling in Argentina and Chile. It was cold some days when I was very far south in Patagonia, but […]
Bugs of Bolivia
I hate bugs. Perhaps that is because they love me. Mosquitoes eat me alive no matter how much poisonous Deet I put on my body or clothes. I lived in constant fear of getting bed bugs, since they seemed to be all the rage while I was traveling. Cockroaches are simply disgusting, and I feel […]
I dream of Europe: A chance to win 2013 euros and more

8 Travel highlights of 2012 and why it is important to think about it
I have a terrible memory. Maybe that is why I have always taken lots of photos. I try to capture my special experiences: the people, the beauty, the amusing, the weird, the firsts, the joy, the accomplishment. Of course, it is difficult to capture a moment or a feeling. But a photo can still bring […]
