From the Road

I've got stories.
Sit down.

Real travel. Unfiltered. Occasionally bilingual. Always worth the read.

México — My First Latin Love

México...

my first latin love.

That time I went kayaking...

Flat tire in Mexico

México · December 2024

That time I changed a flat tire in the rain in México.

An illegal roadblock, a biblical pothole, a flat tire, a rainstorm, three strangers who refused a tip, and a double shot of tequila at the gate. Just another day in México.

Tengo historias en dos idiomas.

Sometimes the story wants to be told in Spanish. These short pieces were written in the language of the places that inspired them.
