#11 — The Perfect Day in Colombia

Stuck in Medellin… Not 3 days after successfully entering this beautiful country, someone in a small customs office in Cartagena, Colombia decided to prematurely terminate my temporary vehicle permit for my motorcycle. I imagine the terrible act being done with a slight hesitation before an absurdly unrealisticly large stamp was slammed down with…

#10–Six Lessons After 6,000 Miles On My Motorcycle in Latin America

#8 — Learning to Live While Waiting for the Bike

Prostitutes and sweat. Cartagena, Colombia, a city full of prostitutes, tourists, and humidity. Every taxi driver (I have to take taxis because I am without my wheels…) asks me if I like Cartagena, this seaside, port town known for its constant flow of tourists (both national and international) as well as its endless…

#7 — Colombia at last

a tiny cafe down the street. I’m finally in Colombia. I never thought I would say that. I never thought I would get this far. I never thought I could do I. I didn’t think it was in me. Part of me hoped. Part of me wished. Part of me knew that we often don’t know…

#5 — Can I Love Myself?

I wish I were a little bit taller, a baller, maybe not so stuck in mental squalor. *drops mic* *looks around to see if anyone sees the glow coming off this scruffy, smelly, motorcycling lyrical genius* If I can’t love myself, who can? Antigua, Guatemala I write to you from an…

#4 — I Remember the People

Beautiful landscapes slide by without notice. Frightening close calls, sketchy situations, unsettling moments all come and go. The bright eyes and warm smiles of the people I meet along the way stick in my mind more firmly than it all. Villahermosa, Mexico I write to you from a (large?) city in…

#3 — Stumbling Forward and Onward

I’m not the smartest, the most capable, nor the most adaptable. I make more mistakes than I’d like and I often don’t meet my own standards. I struggle with the most basic of necessities like feeding myself and finding places to use the restroom. And because of all of that…
