    Thanks for sharing, Snoesje. It’s so true. My ability with Spanish totally varies depending on whom I’m talking to.

    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 […]

    I,m glad you wrote this. I’ve been thinking about hiking poles for years. Maybe this will push me into doing it.

    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.

    So I showed up for the hike with my shiny brand new trekking poles and was met with a little bit of laughter. My sister and brother, hiking companions for the day, scoffed at me and made jokes about finding a […]

    When bicycling in Europe, my husband wanted me to sport a Canadian flag on my bike to avoid possible anti-American comments. I refused. I said, I can’t help it if I’m American, and I’m not going to pretend I’m […]

      I made a trip to this area 20 years ago. It was amazing. Absolutely surreal. I thought I was in a Salvador Dali painting.
