2022 Recap: Acceptance
2022 Recap: Acceptance 2022 was a very mixed bag for me. High highs and super low lows. For many months it felt like we couldn’t catch a break. Isn’t that life, though? We take the bad with the good and do our best with it, even if our best feels completely incompetent. The beginning and […]
We end where we began?
Summing up La Aventura Project in one post has left us here staring at a blank page for weeks now. The same questions run through our heads: “What did we do?” and, “What did we accomplish?” The jump back into life in the USA was quick, and we were immediately left with little time outside […]
2/3 of our South American Travel Highlights – Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador
So, due to our crazy schedule changes, we’re actually past the 2/3 mark on our trip :-(. But, since we just left South America and are heading to Central, we figured now would be the most logical time to do our “Close-enough-to-2/3rds” superlatives! Days in South America: 168 Dollars Spent (not including flight): Countries Visited: […]

What’s hard is to put all these complicated thoughts into words in a way that makes sense. But I’ll try. Thoughts that […]

1/3 of our South American Travel Highlights – Medellin
As of January 27, we’ve been in South America for three months! That’s about 1/3 of the total time we’ll be down here (assuming money lasts) so it’s quite a milestone. Sometimes I feel like we’ve been on the road forever and other times it feels like it was just yesterday we landed in Medellin. […]
Clarifying Our Goals for Backpacking South America
Clarifying Our Goals for Backpacking South America It recently came to my attention that despite all the blogging we’ve done, the main goals of our trip/documentary are still kind of unclear. That’s a problem! Despite the fact that our trip is largely unplanned as far as day-to-day specifics, we need to have a solid overall […]
