Tanzania – still heartbreaking, still beautiful
2 years ago, I was lucky and got to spend 2 weeks with the sweetest kids. My time volunteering in Tanzania both touched my heart and taught me a lot. It also made me re-evaluate the volunteer industry.
Stories from a bumbling, mid-life solo traveler
2 years ago, I was lucky and got to spend 2 weeks with the sweetest kids. My time volunteering in Tanzania both touched my heart and taught me a lot. It also made me re-evaluate the volunteer industry.
Two years ago, I spent 18 days in Arusha, Tanzania. I volunteered at a local school and went on the most amazing safari. Both were incredible experiences that I will never forget. Tanzania is both beautiful and heartbreaking. This post is about my wonderful safari experience.
Angkor Wat Archaeological Park is filled with over 70 major temples and ruins. It is massive and majestic, and filled with both incredible history and a little magic. If you are thinking of visiting Southeast Asia, I highly recommend adding Siem Reap and Angkor Wat to your ‘must visit’ list!
5 days in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Cambodia is incredibly beautiful and thought provoking. And Siem Reap is so much more than just Angkor Wat!
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.

It’s been a year since I published my first blog post. Since then I have travelled through 3 countries in South America, made a quick trip to Greece, spent some time in Canada and moved to Hong Kong for a year. I have also looked back and reflected on my time in Kenya and doing to Camino de Santiago. To everyone who has subscribed to my little blog, thank you. I will continue to share my journey.
Life in Hong Kong means learning to go with the flow but also the joy discovering there are so many free things to do. Festivals and beach days and monasteries and teaching struggles are all part of my new life here in Hong Kong.
Today marks 25 days in Hong Kong and I guess I live here now. Life in Hong Kong has been a roller coaster but I am loving it. I’m here teaching at a learning...
Camino de Santiago – remembering all the good. Overcoming the physical challenges, making new friends and enjoying the solitude, all of the beautiful countryside and old churches. The Camino de Santiago will always be a favorite travel memory and a journey that taught me more than I expected.
The Camino de Santiago – one of my favorite travel and life memories. A long walk in Spain – alone but never lonely. Beautiful countryside, friendly locals, challenging life lessons and the most amazing sunsets. Learning to appreciate the simplicity of putting one foot in front of the other, day after day.
