Before I begin I have a correction to make from my previous post. Hawaii is actually the first place in Oceania we’ll be visiting. Thanks Dave! 🙂 Our last two weeks in Minnesota were a parade of goodbyes/ see you laters/ sayonaras. We got a lot squeezed into those two weeks including several trips to […]

It has been almost six weeks since I’ve updated you on our adventures! Our time at home has been all the things and I can’t believe we only have 11 days left until we leave for the next leg. As I reflected upon in my last post, the three weeks of being at the same […]
“When you go in pursuit of your personal legend, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” Paulo Coelho (The Alchemist) I know that the Universe has shown us that its got us several times throughout the course of this adventure and this past week we learned that it isn’t only while we’re […]
With the Americas portion of this adventure drawing to a close, we’ll be home on Saturday, I find myself in all the feels. There is the excitement of seeing friends and family, coupled with the desire to hold on to my truth, and not regress to the person I was when I lived there. I […]

You know how sometimes people make the comment, “Google (or any tech/ AI entity) is always listening.” Well, we had our first experience where that was a positive thing. What happened was we booked a trip to Iguazu Falls before we left Argentina, from Asunción Paraguay, on April 11th and decided to spend two nights […]
What’s with the title you may ask? Adding “guay” to the end of words, especially in informal contexts, is a common and recognizable slang expression in Paraguay, meaning “cool” or “awesome.” The word “guay” itself is a Spanish borrowing from the Guaraní language, which is spoken by the indigenous people of Paraguay.

This is my love letter to Patagonia. We just spent a week in Argentinian Patagonia and all I can say is WOW! I was completely, and in the actual sense of the word literally, blown away! After visiting Perito Moreno Glacier on the 14th I posted this on my personal Instagram; “I know that this […]
