The ultimate test of a compatible relationship is whether you can stand to travel together.

Three Days in Palm Springs
I have only visited Palm Springs a handful of times. As I have mentioned in previous writings, the first few were married and new to motherhood. It was not easy to sit back and soak in discovery this new place while chasing after two active kids, while juggling a spouse and a family of in-laws. My experience was pleasant enough but nothing I would call memorable.

Why Mexico is Attracting More Black Digital Nomads?
Black people have been migrating to Mexico for centuries. In more recent times, however, a new type of black migrant has emerged: the black digital nomad. This is a person who uses technology to work remotely from anywhere in the world, and Mexico has become a popular destination for them.

We are flying...
I had to fly across the country recently. For me this is akin to a root canal, a hemorrhoid flare up during a heat wave in the south or driving up to a McDonalds in March to get one of those limited edition minty shakes and being told the shake machine is down.

My Extraordinary Culinary Tour of Central America!
I find that the most important, yet, least asked question, before setting off on an adventure abroad, is, or at least should be, “What’s your favorite part of traveling?” For some, it’s the very idea of travel, moving around being strapped to a back-pack; for some it’s the beauty of the sites or of the nature; for some, it’s the vibrant ambience of a crowded, lively city. Well, for me the answer is simpler, more primal, perhaps – the food. Food plays such a big part in my day-to-day life (I am total foodie, and an amateur chef), so you can imagine how exciting it is for me to even think about being abroad and eating all these exotic delicacies I have never heard of or could possibly fathom to dream about – pure joy, the very thought of it! Hence, I’ve always made it a priority – discovering the culinary scene in every one of my travels. Food, food, food – and more food! Viva la comida!

Moments and Memories.
Last week I returned from a (very short) medical mission trip to Peru. I had the privilege of being the interpreter for one of our nurse practictioners on the trip. We got an early start each day and worked until late into the night. Here's a breakdown of the things that I experienced and memories that were made:

Prairie Wisdom
We were on vacation, but not the vacation most would dream of. The Mr. and I were heading to Nebraska. The state with the slogan, "Nebraska. Honestly, it's not for everyone." I was in the middle of running a half marathon in half the states and had selected Nebraska as our next bet. As a child, I had lived in the small town of Seward and thought I'd return, hoping to put those fond memories back in my pocket. I had not trained much for this run. The weeks prior had hit me like losing a loved one, and I didn't have the strength to put on running shoes, much less get out the door.

F&ck Solo Travel
Sometimes we just need to take a break from life and heal. Sometimes we need to run away from our problems and and frustrations and go find ourselves again. So many of my favorite authors have done it and written amazing books about their trips. I've been truly inspired by all of them. Ever feel like you're just going through the motions in life? Ever feel like you're on a hamster wheel and you'll never get off? Ever feel like you've lost touch with who you are as a person? Well if you feel any of those things consider taking a solo trip. Taking a break from life could be just the thing we need to get ourselves back on track mentally. Whether it's a backapacking trip, a european vacation or hitting the road in a camper van. Whatever feels right to you. Sometimes we need to run away and be alone with our thoughts, sometimes we need to take some time and rediscover what our passions are and who WE are as people. Sometimes we've lost touch with reality and need to center ourselves again. These are all reasons to take a solo trip. It doesn't have to be very long or fancy. It just has to be you taking a break from life for some period of time. Perhaps a summer or a weekend or even a year.

A Crazy Weekend in Costa Rica!
I’ll be totally honest here – it’s always been a bit of a bummer for me when my friends decide to get hitched. I mean, what the hell – one moment we’re all single and in a perfectly synchronized sense of denial of the decline of our youth, and in the next, one of us adopts the infamous ring (and commitment), and just like that, we are reminded of the imminent fact that 40 is just around the corner – and that we are actually, effectively, and actively adults. Well, luckily for us boys, there is one solitary event before our worlds come crashing down – the Bachelor Party, of course! Now that is something to look forward to. So far, we’ve had one in Vegas, one in Miami, one in Atlantic City (for some reason!), and more recently one in Cancun, Mexico. They’ve all been similar and different in their own particular ways, and nonsensically crazy, of course – but never as crazy as our adventure in Jaco Beach, Costa Rica!

Dinosaurs, Dancers, and the Desert
Introduction Movement is more important to me than air. It’s hard to breathe when I am standing still. I’ve moved six times in my twenty-one years but whenever anyone asks if it was hard I want to ask them if staying still was really so easy. Each place made me someone new. It’s not a question I want to know the answer to, but I can’t help but wonder what kind of woman I would be if I hadn’t had the chance to change.
