https://wheelstravelstheworld.com/2023/01/31/im-perfect-imperfect-simply-imperfect-thoughts-from-central-america/ I got out of the Uber at the San Francisco airport, and the minute I walked through the doors, rain and wind blowing and pushing me forward, I felt like I was finally home. I handed my passport to the check-in agent, and suddenly everything felt peaceful. For a brief moment, the stress of... Continue Reading →
Honduras
https://www.buzzsprout.com/1955530/11896036 Six years ago, Tony and I signed up and completed our Open Water Scuba Diving certification. We’ve been diving all over the world since then. Hawaii, Thailand, Curacao. Everywhere. And every single time, I’ve had an immense amount of anxiety about jumping in that water. In all honesty, I’ve never really liked diving, but...

Antarctica – Part III
https://www.buzzsprout.com/1955530/11873322 It was 6:30 am after an overly, unexpectedly intense 36 hours in Antarctica. We had just gotten back on our ship from our overwhelming camping trip. The ambiance of the restaurant, full of campers, was exactly that. Pure exhaustion. We sipped on some coffee before retreating to our cabins. We hadn’t slept since 5... Continue Reading →
Antarctica – Part II
https://www.buzzsprout.com/1955530/11873175 There is this wonderful man I need to tell you about. His name is Rex. Well, formerly it’s Reckly, but he asked that we call him Rex. Rex was the head waiter in the only restaurant on the ship, and he is fantastic! You see, there are two ‘groups’ of people on the ship. ... Continue Reading →
Antarctica – Part I
https://www.buzzsprout.com/1955530/11873034 There is a place on this planet – our planet – that is so surreal, so magical, that it feels like an entirely different planet. There is a place where the air seeps into your skin and the quietness of the world is so real that it’s like being in a Disney movie. There... Continue Reading →
Fiji (and a little bit of New Zealand)
https://www.buzzsprout.com/1955530/11723631 Bula! This means Hello in Fijian. When I was making the decision to take the jump and leave my job to live my dreams, there were few people who consistently told me to do it, to take the jump, to live the life I had been saving for for the past 38 years. There... Continue Reading →
Tonga and Samoa
https://www.buzzsprout.com/1955530/11633220 I am completely overcome with emotion. You would think that by this point in my journey, there wouldn’t be much left for me to learn. But every day, every person I encounter, every meal I have, I learn something new. I was prepared for the long flights, the poor WiFi, the time changes, the... Continue Reading →
Solomon Islands and Kiribati
https://www.buzzsprout.com/1955530/11605269 I have so much to write I don’t even know where to begin. I arrived into the Solomon Islands refreshed from my stay in Vanuatu. I was going to be in the Solomon Islands for three nights – mostly because it’s the only way I could get my flight patterns to work with all... Continue Reading →
Being The Only One: From Timor-Leste to Vanuatu
https://www.buzzsprout.com/1955530/11578076 Something about Timor-Leste has pushed me to a new point in my journey. I’ve suddenly come to a place where I have accepted the inequality in this world. It breaks my heart that our world is so full of it, and I can’t support it nor will I ever, but I’m accepting it. On... Continue Reading →
My Mid-Life Crisis Brought Me to Micronesia (The Federated States of Micronesia, The Marshall Islands, & Palau)
https://www.buzzsprout.com/1955530/11554298 I was lying in bed with Tony a few days before I left for this next jaunt of my journey. We were talking, well I was talking, about what my future looked like, where we should live, what I should do for work, and so on. He calmly said, “Don’t worry about it now. ... Continue Reading →
