– I knew I wanted to leave Utila on Sunday morning and chose the death ferry at 6am. This way, it allowed more time to let the unexpected happen in Honduras as I knew it would. I tried to buy my ferry ticket the night before so I could sleep in a little bit, but […]
– After spending a week as a island bum on the island of Utila, I figured I should be productive and finally start my advanced scuba dive course. The course was a small group of four people. First there was Adam, a 31 year old dentist from Rochester, NY. I actually met him the day […]
– We had to take a hour ferry from La Ceiba to reach the island of Utila, which is one of the three major Bay Islands. I know I am lucky as I don`t get seasick. We had a very, very, very rough ride with huge swells and waves crashing down on our ferry (and […]
– I keep laughing at my bus journey`s and this one was one to remember. Mel, Freddie and I decided to head north to Honduras and we knew it was going to be a long ride and there wasn`t anything to see in between. So we bought the nicer bus ticket with A/C, movies and […]

– Once I got settled into my hostel in San Juan del Sur, I headed to lunch, the town´s beach and then somehow ended up at happy hour cocktails with Kirsty, Liz and Mel. We had to have cocktails for our first sunset in town and it ended up being great. – When we came […]
– A year later…I´m sitting on a beach, soaking up the sun and having a great time. I still can´t believe I have been traveling around the world and living out of a single bag for a year (not to mention wearing a lot of the same clothes)…but I am. I honestly can´t wait to get back to the […]
– Leaving one country for another, especially overland, is always an adventure worth writing about as I know I will be laughing about it years later….and my trip from Costa Rica to Nicaragua is another fun one… – Once Amanda left me in Monteverde, Costa Rica, I had one more day to figure out where […]
-Amanda arrived Friday night and after a quick change, Colin, Amanda and I were catching up with a bottle of champagne. I guess it was fitting as it was a farewell to Colin, after traveling with me for 2 months, and a welcome for Amanda. When we finished the bottle (not that long for the […]
