I have had the pleasure of visiting Mexico City twice, thanks to a lovely friend I made while backpacking Costa Rica years ago(Hola Erik). I am crazy about this city. To say I love a city is a big thing for me, because I could happily live without ever stepping foot in a massive city again, except D.F. and my […]
Recently a co worker told me she was planning a trip to Bogota and when I got home from work that day all I could do was make mental lists of musts in this fun city. I am constantly praising my home city of Bogota when talking to others. Any time someone asks where they should travel to I always throw […]
It can be done! Three jam packed days in this ultra-modern, clean, island mega city. Be prepared to up your budget for Singapore. It was more expensive than the other countries I visited during my 3 months in SE Asia. Day 1 Head to Downtown Singapore and visit Singapore flyers, a very large Ferris wheel that has beautiful views of […]
Cambodia, a country rich in history, a country of kind people who give you the biggest smiles as you bike past. A country of beautiful landscapes and villages still untouched by heavy tourism. I have once again fallen in love with another place I have visited. Much of my time in Cambodia was spent in a small farming village outside […]
I am still in Cambodia, happy as can be. I woke up this morning feeling rather sleepy and lazy. Basically the only thing I wanted was to nap in my comfy hotel room. What more does a girl need but a queen sized bed, freezing cold AC, and 4 big pillows (I use all of them). I spent my day […]
It is my last day in India and it is bittersweet. Actually if I am honest with myself it is bitter. I have grown to have an unhealthy love affair with India. One moment I want to scream at a tuk tuk for almost running me over or honking the horn a million times, and the next I am admiring […]
Time moves fast here. The days seem to quickly disappear and I barely notice when one passes and another begins. I have had a strange journey so far but the strangest thing of all is that I am no longer shocked, and so much more accepting, by what just a few weeks ago was, well, ‘strange’ Let me share with […]
India assaults my senses one moment, then soothes them the next. It creates a roller coaster of emotions inside me. Sometimes I want to say it is chaos, sometimes that it is absolutely beautiful, but all of the time that it keeps me off balance. Each day here is filled with so many ups and downs, which is why I […]
I went to Malawi with 2 other people as part of a graduate school internship, invited by and partnering with the Malawi Bureau of Tourism. We arrived in the town of Liwonde and were introduced to a local named Gilbert. Gilbert was our guide and was also there to help us connect to other individuals and businesses that could help […]
I was in Malawi, Africa for a month and I fell deeply in love with it. Malawi holds a very special place in my heart and memory. Nothing is truer than what you hear and read about Malawi, that “It is the warm heart of Africa” The people are kind and generous. The landscapes vary from mountains to Savannah, and […]
