All in Travel
Wanderer
“So I wander, wander where my home is, where I come from
how the makers sowed it.
Like Constellations, how we all connected
In a heart- all rows intersecting
True blue ocean the meaning feels heavy
but I let go, I let go, stay ready
stays connected.
By the roots of my toes I am steady…
I don’t take from the road I’ve got plenty
My home where I wander, my home is where I wander body soul.”
Nicaragua
"Sometimes you meet someone, and it is clear that the two of you belong together on some level. As lovers, or friends, or as something entirely different. You just work, wether you understand each other or partners in crime. You meet these people throughout life and out of nowhere, under the strangest circumstances, and they help you feel alive."
"Easy Living"
"Sarito is a river flowing towards the ocean. Expecting the unexpected, I have everything I need to live well and take care of myself. I am open, spontaneous, trusting, free, creative, and light, loving and in tune with the whole, I am good enough, and there are now problems now. So breathe, let,s go and see the joke. Keep it simple."
Off the Grid
On the 28th of September we flew into Guatemala City, where at the airport we were greeted by Peace Corps Guatemala staff. It was amazing, Carolyn Beale or training director, Adrianna, & Xoce welcomed us with a beautiful banner with all of our names on it as we stepped foot on the soil of the place we would soon call home.
Bak’tun 8
I had never been to Houston, TX but I flew in and began my journey as I shared an Uber with Tanya and Ryan (both to my left in the photograph) to get checked into our hotel. Oh man, first impressions are always so nerve racking but right away I was impressed with these two ladies. It got even better when once we arrived and signed in for staging and met everyone. Bak’tun 8 is an extremely diverse group of individuals and I mean this in the sense from age, race, and class.
Day 1
"You are never going to be 100% ready and it's never going to be just the right time, but that's the point. It means that every moment is also the right moment. If you want it, you just have to do it."
