Of all things I wanted to do and see in Belize and Guatemala, witnessing Mayan ruins was at the top of the list. After all, I was visiting an area of the world with an abundant supply of them. Guatemala, Mexico, and Belize are all home to famous ancient ruins. Tikal, however, was one of the most powerful kingdom’s in Maya history, and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site in northern Guatemala. Continue Reading
As you may know by now, Belize completely stole my heart upon arrival to the dense, lush jungles of San Ignacio. After making my way from one side of the country to the other, I spent time napping in hammocks on Caye Caulker with the sound of the waves lulling me to sleep each night.

A few months ago, I embarked on my favorite solo adventure thus far! I traveled to Central America for a total of 10 days, spending quality time in both Belize and Guatemala.

I am well aware that I do not lead a ‘typical’ life. Conventional is not a common word in my vocabulary. For the most part, the people in my life support and encourage my lifestyle, whether they understand it or not. And for this I am so grateful. But I recognize that there are more than a handful of people that simply cannot grasp the way my mind operates. Continue Reading
I started off 2018 by taking a road trip to Twin Falls, Idaho alongside my best friend of 20+ years.
