Travel Deeper – Brazil
Five years of traveling deeper in South America, and it all led me to this… One of the most incredibly difficult and absolutely amazing years of my life – Living and traveling in Brazil.

The Next Travel Adventure Awaits
When I created my five-year travel plan (five years ago), Brazil was supposed to be the final trip.

Fortunately, we made the seven-hour trek up to the Caribbean Coast in a comfortable cross-country liner, rather than the typical chicken buses I’d been accustomed to while traveling within Guatemala.

The best example of this is the McDonalds and Burger […]
First Impressions of Guatemala
I can’t help but to smile as my ass takes a pounding while we cruise through the side streets of rural Sololá. The roads are gutted, the ride is long and the cold rain is just starting to pierce through my second layer and down my back, making my nipples rock hard. I couldn’t be […]
