Today I Met a Man
Today I met a man. He approached me and said, “Can you help me? I do not need money, I do not need cigarettes, I do not need food. I need your advice!” “Answer just one question. Can you tell me what I need to do, what I should to do, to improve myself? …to…

New York, We Meet Again
Spending the day in New York City as we plan to take a bus to Boston and then board our plane to Reykjavik. Gabe shares with me past experiences as a teenager in the city with his father, as I share with him my love for the city. Walking around aimlessly, biking to lower Manhattan,…
Low-Speed Malfunction
The day I landed in Winter Haven, situated amongst hundreds of acres of open landscape in the heart of central Florida, the sky above the landing strip formed a thick layer of clouds because the day provided the usual amount of moisture to create them. Behind me my ‘better half’ breathing heavily from the rush…
Belizean Circus
The lights of the circus tent off in the distance begin to build a little excitement for that inner child in me. Circo Ponce: Circo Grande Famoso; a spectacle to see in the small town of Belmopan as trailers housing lions, tigers and camels drive through this capital city. The talk of the town and…

Billowing clouds are strewn about in the distance; flashbacks of childhood memories fill my mind as…

Star Gazing in the Andes
As the sun sets behind the Andes Mountains, the white snow-capped peaks begin to lose the bright majestic effect which makes them stand out among the other surrounding summits in the distance. Still visible with the outline of our tents pitched in the shadow of this vast mountain; the scene looks picturesque as I gaze…
