Stories from a bumbling, mid-life solo traveler
I loved living in Cusco, Peru for 3 months. Discovering all of the local spots and going on big ‘tourist’ adventures – the best of both worlds. Well-dressed dogs, crowded buses, amazing street food and unusual business practices – I enjoyed it all.
Visiting Nairobi, Kenya and a childhood friend. An unexpected stop in London, and then giraffes, hikes, the beautiful Lake Naivasha and monkeys stealing mangos.
A few days in the Sacred Valley, exploring with a local guide and taking time to really learn the history and meet local people. The ruins at Ollantaytambo and Moray are spectacular, and travelling by scooter was the most fun.
Guatemala – solo travel, making new friends, living with local family, volunteering
It’s my last night in Bogota, Colombia and I am excited to report that my ass is, in fact, bad enough for South America. Although that may seem absurd when I tell you that...
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!
