Catching up on my travel log, this post will be the beginning of my 2019 road trip through the Midwest with my friends, which started in Pensacola. I’ll try to keep each stop as its own post, but it all depends on how good my memory is. After making the drive up to Tampa toContinueContinue reading “Wanderlust: Pensacola, Florida”

Wanderlust: Greece
Rather than go in-depth on each stop from my Greece trip (because real talk: it’s been a few years and my memory is Swiss cheese at this point), I thought I’d hit the remaining highlights for the rest of the trip. Zakynthos Zakynthos (or Zante) may have been my favorite on the trip, as weContinueContinue reading “Wanderlust: Greece”

A poem from my travels to Greece
The Voyage
It’s blue in all directionswith a smooth blanket in frontand ahead, and rippling wavesbelow. Even that line where theymeet is a cloudy blue that waversin the light. We sit back on the outerdeck with our feet kicked up onthe railings, not a care in the world.This vessel is taking us to paradise. Originally shared here.
La bandera
Postcard of Ecuador from the 1980s The yellow, blue, and red stand Stark against white mountain caps. Colors bleed stronger than that absence of shade. It will always wave, louder and brighter than the snow surrounding. It calls us home. Originally shared here.
Wanderlust: La ruta escondida, Ecuador

My dad and I stopped at Atahualpa,ContinueContinue reading “Wanderlust: La ruta escondida, Ecuador”
