A Gypsy Sleepover in Valeni, Romania

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!So-caress SHABL? Thought I’d stop with the layover talk for a while and tell you another one of my strange travel tales. This one happened last October while I was traveling around Romania for a couple of weeks. It was my last day in Transylvania and I was just getting ready to leave my hostel in Brasov to go check out...

View of Little Corn Island From Space

Good day, Let us discuss the important matter of satellites aka techno gadgets shot by scientists with large sling shots into a place we know very little about called space. These stellar space cameras can take pretty crazy photos and as always, I’m thankful for what technology can do for us. How could I describe the island better than shown above? That’s Little Corn Island, Nicaragua in the...

No Big Deal, Just a 200lbs Goliath Grouper!!

Hello from the land of sand and blue seas, Let’s just dive right off the deep end and into the heart of this monster fish, shall we? I was sweating in my second floor office surrounded by screens as I often do when a sudden urge to go snorkeling overpowered me… I grabbed my gear and skipped down the steps to hit the streets without missing a beat. As I’m burning the soles of my feet on...

Snapper Saturday on Little Corn

Good day, The above snapper was purchased not long ago for $5US at the rate of $1 / pound, muahahah. Buying fresh fish here is incredibly easy as most days someone will have fish, it often changes but once the news gets out it’s not hard to sniff out the spot of sale. This was purchased from a catch of roughly 100lbs that included jack, snapper, barracuda, king fish and lots of odd looking creatures...

Snorkeling is Sensational

Good day, In a land where cotton candy clouds rain french fries on old growth forests and and people work their entire lives to have their pensions routed into bailouts of wall street bozos, isn’t snorkeling simply sensational and divine? When is the last time you went snorkeling? I’ll be the first to admit, I’ve neglected such a serious sport for all too long, when you live near world...

The Art of the Layover: Miami, South Beach Edition

Oh hey SHABL, from Miami! Thought I’d go ” live” today and blog about what’s happening right now rather than reporting on it later. First and foremost, I should tell you the trip back to Sweden that I was trying to coordinate last week has already begun. I’m not going to get there until next week, but so far my latest layover is shaping up quite nicely...

Life Without Electricity

Good day, Little Corn Island where I’m living for another 2.5 weeks doesn’t have power all day and some days, it doesn’t turn on at all. The power runs from a diesel generator that powers the island and it’s typically “on” from 2pm-5am. Having now been here for roughly 3 months off and on, can tell you that a day without power is no surprise and at times, it can be...

So You Want to Learn English!?

Good day, Not long ago I got an email in my inbox from this education company about an infographic they made on learning English. As you know I’m in C. America and would like to learn Spanish. Currently I’m on a Caribbean Island and everyone speaks English so naturally, have made little progress. Not a day goes by where I don’t at some point realize how lucky I am to speak English....
