Stories from a bumbling, mid-life solo traveler
Reflecting on the last 3 Januarys since I have become a nomad. From Guatemala to Peru to Hong Kong, it has been an adventure filled with joy and challenges and awe and overwhelm and I wouldn’t change a single experience.
My Camino will forever be one of my most cherished memories. These are some of the more beautiful moments from that long walk in Spain.
My time in La Paz, Bolivia was filled with an amazing guided tour, 3 wonderful afternoons exploring the city via the cable cars, lots of great food and one huge disappointment. I found the Bolivian people to be wonderful and La Paz to be loud, crowded, charming with lots of pigeons and lots of history to be learn. Plus really good coffee!
10 days in Nairobi, Kenya. Visiting elephant rescue centers, the Nairobi National Park, giraffe centers and a few gorgeous hikes. Most importantly time with a childhood friend and lots of education about animals and conservation efforts. Highly recommend a visit to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and The Giraffe Center.
I am travelling to South America for the very first time and I am scared and excited! I will be visiting Colombia and Bolivia but actually living in Peru for 3 months. This will be my first out of country experience as an nomad! South America, here I come!
