After two weeks in Barcelona searching for a long-term place to stay and starting the process to legally reside in Spain for a year, I had completed everything I could for the time being but still had a few weeks before the beginning of my course. Wanting to take full advantage of the remaining time, … Continue reading Naples, Italy
16.6.2024 21:54Naples, ItalyThis is my second time to Barcelona. I visited for a few short days in 2017. On a shorter Spain trip. The city is what you would get if Miami and Los Angeles got together and had a baby, and was clean, mostly. Having both Beaches and Mountains within easy reach, a warm and predictable … Continue reading Barcelona
9.6.2024 21:32BarcelonaFavorable winds gave us a good push across the Atlantic last night and we arrived over 20 mins early to Madrid’s Barajas airport, keeping our intercontinental jaunt to under 10 hours. A welcome start to part 2 of this adventure. I’ve been to Spain a few times before, but my previous adventures have kept me … Continue reading Madrid, Spain
29.5.2024 20:18Madrid, SpainFirstly, the security situation in Central America is greatly overstated. While you should not ignore the warnings issued by governments and passed on by other travelers, just keeping your wits about you and remembering why you are visiting these places and you will probably be fine. DON’T GO LOOKING FOR TROUBLE AND TROUBLE WILL HAVE … Continue reading Reflections of Central America
25.5.2024 21:42Reflections of Central AmericaA trip to Panama cannot be done without visiting the Panama Canal. The Canal was completed in 1914 and was a monumental engineering feat for its time. It connects the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean cutting through the Panama isthmus, significantly reducing maritime travel time. Originally started by the French in the 1880’s, it … Continue reading Panama Canal
22.5.2024 19:10Panama CanalYou know those days when you think about what’s on your agenda and you just get that feeling that you “literally just can’t even” and you will do almost anything to find and excuse to not do it. Yeah, that happened to me in Bocas when I was trying to purchase my bus ticket out … Continue reading Casco Viejo, Panama
19.5.2024 21:29Casco Viejo, PanamaThe last 2 days of diving got scrubbed because of the weather. Morning rain storms made the water choppy and cloudy. Signs that Central America’s rainy season is just beginning. I packed y bag and made my way to the bus stop in Los Coco’s and started the day of travel back to San Jose. … Continue reading Bocas Del Toro, Panama
12.5.2024 18:22Bocas Del Toro, PanamaContinuing our tour of Co$ta Rica, my next stop is the Pacific Coast destination of Playa Del Cocos. It was here I decided I really needed to exercise the privileges of my new Open Water Diver certification. I’m new to the sport, so I really have no idea what exactly constitutes good diving, but a … Continue reading Playas Del Cocos
4.5.2024 21:06Playas Del CocosThe Arenal Volcano in the northwest of Costa Rica is a stratovolcano. It’s probably the most stereotypical looking Volcano I’ve seen on this adventure. If you gave 6-year-old James a pen and told him to draw a volcano it would probably look similar to Arenal (and also have fire breathing dinosaurs or something in the … Continue reading Vulcan Arenal
21.4.2024 17:32Vulcan ArenalI cheated; I suppose. That is if there were a hard set of rules to follow, but since I get to make them up as I go along, I also say what I did was valid. As I’ve mentioned earlier, when I departed on this journey earlier this year, my first goal was to visit … Continue reading Manuel Antonio
