Every now and then I peak over at my analytics to see what posts on my blog people are reading the most… Do you know what is one of the top pages people see when they first come to this blog? It’s my post about flakey Colombian girls. I didn’t really intend this, but it’s [...]
If you follow along in Twitter or Facebook, you probably know I returned to Colombia after my romp through Brazil. I returned to that foxy lady, Medellin. If you’re not up-to-date on my history with this lady, when we first met, things were amazing. I was absolutely taken with her and I subsequently packed up [...]
One of my posts that has grown in popularity and comments is the one called “The One Thing I Can’t Stand About Colombian Girls.” I’ve had numerous Colombians themselves comment on the post, including girls from Medellin who confirm exactly what I talk about. Well, I just went on a romp through Southern Brazil and [...]
These past few weeks I found myself back in hostels for the first time in awhile. I hate hostels. When I walk in the front door carrying my suitcase, I have to navigate narrow walking spaces and doorways, side-stepping to people can get by, and doing nothing less than leg presses as I walk up [...]

When you travel for a long period of time what happens to your relationships? This is the question I was considering the other day as a few buddies and I were enjoying a round of rum and coke at a local bar in Medellin. I didn’t consider the question aloud, as we were discussing some [...]
Well hello, Colombia, it’s nice to see you again. I recently returned to the city of Medellin, Colombia for what I expect to be a stellar multi-month stay in the country. Medellin, to me, is such a cool place. It’s what I call super-liveable, a place that can easily begin to feel like home. Initially, [...]
The 2011 year has raced by faster than any year I can remember. It has been one of the most eye-opening, inspiring, life-altering years of my life in so many ways. This blog hardly begins to scratch the surface it all. But what makes me chuckle often are the moments when I say to myself [...]
– Wow! It has been too long since I last wrote, so today’s post is a good 1200 words. – As some of you may know, I returned to the US in early May from Colombia, a trip which was my first extended experience abroad. When I got back I noticed I was different. It’s [...]
