the Road to Valhalla
estás lejos, amigo…
Poems, prose, musings, rants, lightly embellished tales of adventure, inspirations, hot springs and profound connections… On the road, in the air and over the seas… raw, unedited and in no particular order.
“Half the fun of the travel is the esthetic of lostness.”

metric system lessons and the Canadian exchange rate = confusion…
🇵🇪 Barranco, Lima, Peru - 04.12.23
This was a layover in Peru that I extended a couple days just to check it out. Lima proper was a complete hornet’s nest and was glad that I set up camp South in the bohemian surf town of Barranco.

…but this moment I can.
🇱🇦 Belize City - The Taxi Chronicles - 03.06.22
…when MrEvan would swerve within one inch of a light pole, or bridge railing, or motorcycle, or fruit stand… I would calmly pull my arm back in the window and then reinsert my arm hanging out the window (as you should do while riding shotgun in any 80s sedan) when the danger had passed. Zen by example.
🇱🇦 The Jungles of Belize - Xunantunich, Barton Creek Cave, Farmer Dominque… 03.09.22
“…I feel like there was a reason I ended up at this place, and that’s what I love about adventure. My adventures. The plan is no plan, and it can make for a great moment and a great story…”
🇬🇹 Tecpán, Iximche and the Rental Car - The Rough Road to Quetzaltenango, Guatemala - 04.25.22
“I’ve spent more time in Antigua than I had in my casita in Española, NM. As I was walking around, locals that I had met would wave and smile. I so adore that… it reinforces my thoughts on the importance of a supportive community and having a home base to return to. Also, it means I’ve been here too long and the boy can’t sits still…”
🇪🇨 Quito to Banos… and Back - 04.22.23
… I saw the ’Vigilante’ gal wayyyyyy down the street… I got to my car, put down the windshield wiper and figured I’d be out of there quick like. Fk no, I literally turned around and she standing there with that “look” 🤨
