When I was living with Ayngelina, she told me about her motivation to go to the gym. His name is Andrés. He teaches body pump and body combat classes and provides an hour (sometimes two!) of eye candy for the women (and probably some men) at the gym every weekday. I decided I would check […]
The Cruella Conclusion: Lawyers, Lies, and Taxes
Remember Cruella? Finally, the saga comes to an end… sort of. A few months ago, I wrote about my evil landlady Cruella. I then shared her bizarre rules and how she was monitoring my toilet paper usage. The last thing I wrote about Cruella was how she kicked me out and changed the lock only […]
Oh, The Places I’ll Go
On the way to Colonia for my first border run, my friend Jeff and I started talking about our passport stamps. He mentioned the need to get some more pages sewn into his passport. Then I realized that with the number of countries I have left in my Latin America adventure, I would run out […]
My New Apartment: Frisky Kitties & Cold Trips to the Bathroom
I have had many homes in Buenos Aires. Some good. Some bad. I lived in a hostel so long (6 weeks) that it earned the label of home. (There were actually 2 other hostels before that, but I couldn’t take more than a few days in each.) I had the misfortune of renting a room […]
Move Over… I’m Jumping on the Bandwagon
If you read any travel blogs other than mine, you are probably familiar with the My 7 Links Project. As soon as I heard about this project organized by Trip Base, I thought it was a great idea (for multiple mutually-beneficial reasons). I am very honored to be nominated by Sabrina from Country Skipper, Giulia […]
Feliz Día del Amigo
I learned of a new holiday last week. July 20th is Día del Amigo. After a quick online search, I learned that this holiday is celebrated in Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay. The holiday was promoted by Argentine doctor and professor Enrique Ernesto Febbraro, who was inspired by the feeling of global communion that swept […]
Learning the Language: Parte Dos
My Spanish is good enough for traveling. But it’s not enough. I can get around. I can buy things at the market. I can read most signs and menus and even some simple books. When people stop me on the street to ask for directions, I not only know the directions but I can tell […]
At Least I’m Alive
A friend told me that the news of the Buenos Aires airport being shut down due to an ash cloud had actually made the news in Columbus, Ohio. Since I am traveling, I am ignorant as to what news makes it back home. I have to admit I am even ignorant of what is going […]
Saying Goodbye
When Cruella kicked me out, I moved into an apartment with Ayngelina. She is a travel blogger from Canada with whom I have been in contact for several months. I believe I first discovered her site Bacon is Magic when I was in Quito, Ecuador suffering miserable rain and cold and probably feeling a little […]
On My Birthday: Remembering Younger Travels
Yea! It’s my birthday! Those of you who know me probably remember that I declare a full birthday week of celebration. But this year is special. This is the year I say goodbye to my 20s and enter a new decade. Or is that special? What is special for me this birthday is not really […]
