It is the end of summer. The mornings have a chill (a refreshing break from the humidity). The leaves are starting to change colors. Over three months ago, I ended my travel sabbatical in South America to come back to my hometown of Columbus, Ohio. That time has flown by, and as much as I […]
Maine is seafood heaven
I have eaten some of the best seafood of my life in Maine. Yes, the seafood is incredibly fresh. But I think it is also because I am eating at family-owned restaurants that have been around for years. Francine and Paul love good food and good value, and they showed me their favorite spots. My […]
Coastal Maine: A Photo Essay
Coastal Maine is not what I pictured in my head. But it is wonderful. The part of Maine I am in is called St. George. St. George is composed of multiple villages, including Port Clyde and Tenants Harbor. I also visited the slightly larger artsy town of Rockland. The small towns and their people are […]
How to eat a lobster (in Maine!)
When I arrived, Francine jokingly asked me if I was ready to eat lobster every day. I EXPECT to eat lobster every day. I would like to eat lobster three times a day. We didn’t quite get to that point, but there was definitely plenty of lobster (and lots of other fantastic fresh seafood that […]
Visiting strangers in Maine
One thing it took me a while to learn while I was traveling in Latin America is to be a better friend. What do I mean by that? The majority of interactions we have with other travelers are very casual. When we talk to another traveler in our hostel or at a café, we are […]

A Guide to Food and Drink in Bolivia
I was told by several people that the food in Bolivia is pretty bad. It would be hard to come by fresh fruits and vegetables. And of course there is food poisoning to worry about. However, I actually enjoyed the food in Bolivia. Sure, you can get lots of fried street food that looks like […]
My First World Problems
My first week back home in Columbus was spent putting things away (not that I had much stuff to put away), buying necessities, and meeting up with friends. Overall, it has been an easy transition with little stress. (Yes, I am aware that the real transition will happen when I enter the corporate world again.) […]
Travel the World Through Food
I ended my time in Latin America with something I had been looking forward to since before I started the journey, a photo session at the Salar de Uyuni. Now I am home. I am ready to be home. I am ready to keep exploring while still enjoying the comforts of home. A week after […]
