“I changed my mind about tomorrow,” he said. “I think we should just do this one again.” I was a little bit taken aback. We go hiking together a lot and returning the same way we came is practically against his […] -

This is a hard one. It’s not our fault that we were born into more affluent circumstances than the a lot of the people we see. Of course, it’s not their fault either. At least when we travel in countries worse […]

In honor of the day, honoring that most important of persons – Mom, the local newspaper here in Guanajuato published an article listing the uses of the word “madre” (mother) in Mexico. I […] -

No problem Jenny, they are essential in my view. I even bring them on some day hikes if there will be a lot of down hill stepping especially if it’s rocky ledges and you just keep stepping down. Even with the […]

Several co-workers and I were scheduled to attend a conference in New Orleans during the first week of September 2005. Little effort was made to hide the fact that we all felt more excited about seeing the city […] -

I think I tried the “I’m Canadian” line once, then quickly realized that I didn’t know enough about Canada and that it really wasn’t necessary. I’ve been treated well even in places (and times) when people have […]

Yep – I’m a bad liar too. I just don’t seem to have easy access to that well of creativity. I hope you never “need” to lie, but if you do, don’t feel too bad about it.

It’s fair to say that most travelers book holidays in Egypt to have their fill of pharaohs and lost civilisations, pyramids and tombs. While the diversity of this country should come as no surprise to anyone who’s […] -

My mind was being assaulted with unexpected visions of devil masks and Picasso pictures; flashbacks of peyote-induced yarn paintings. My friend and I were completing our second day in Zacatecas and we were both […] -
