Better late than never...

Well hello everyone!! I've been slacking a little, actually a lot, and I don’t want to bombard you with a ton right now so I’ll do installments. Life is moving, going crazy and I’m excited to share some snapshots of my experiences with everyone. I’ll start with a little bit of my fellowship realization.


As my second stop, Mendoza has illustrated for me what I already knew to be true of this experience: It is a double edge sword. It will be what I make it. It will be the greatest and saddest thing I have to do, over and over again. To travel alone for 8+ months forces one to meet people, it forces me to trust, connect, depend and be dependable. It teaches me about kindness, genuineness, hospitality, compassion and humanity and ultimately, I will connect with people over and through these traits. They will open places in my heart and it will, for a short time, feel like home: comfort, care, even love. And then I will leave. Not only will I have to start the process over in a new city but it will feel like leaving home, again and again and again. The nostalgia sets in.


I am set to leave Mendoza this Wednesday and on that day, I will give you all the full overview of my time here. In the meantime, I have updated on an adventure and shared a story. Hope you enjoy!

Check it out

Hey everyone, I've finally updated.

New updates about the places I visit can be found under the 'cities' link, I will put the majority of my pictures in the gallery, story time will hold interesting encounters I have, like the ¨robbery¨, and adventures are, well, adventures. If you start with the cities though, the most important incidences will be hyper-linked in the text (as below) so you can go straight from there! Check it out!

*Side note: Clicking the links may open them all in a new tab, clicking the headings will not. Just a heads up.
