The Silence Was An Intense Roar and It Pointed East
The world has gone mad! Desirous of everything at the same time. A full-blown, teeming, overflowing kind of mad. Even the stock market has fallen to its knees. My days of venturing out include the endless parade of faces, the sea of cars, the constant hum of… people. Everywhere! Drive-thrus that snake around the block…

Doting On Boston
Clusters of people – – clusters of buildings. I am home in the city, and everywhere else. Boston: A place where educated meets liberal. Just how it should be —the prefect cup of tea with just the right amount of honey. I booked an apartment in the center of the city: Chinatown. A nice swanky apartment…

A Quick Trip to The Oldest City In America, St. Augustine
We travelled through what appeared to be the set of Scooby Doo – creeping along the unlit backroads of Florida.

The boardwalk lit the entrance…

First Impressions of Altanta
Unruly trees clear the way for orange and yellow maple leaves hanging from white bark that line the freeway. Georgia plates infest the smooth tar as clean lines pave the way into the big city. I ride through the city in wide-brimmed hat reminiscent of witch. It’s October. A pecan farm along the way showcases rows…

Tulum is rustic, untouched and reluctant to change, but brilliant. Most people visit the ruins on their trip to Tulum and…

Useful Ways To Use Rock Coral
The beaches are littered with rock coral on the beaches of Akumal. Coral is stuck in the concrete of lengthy driveways leading up to massive manors and children collect the porous rock like trophies. Rock coral is the skeleton of the once living organism. My home is decorated with pieces that my family and I…

Top 10 Must-Haves for Girls in Playa Del Carmen
Planning on living or visiting the Yucatan? After residing in the Yucatan for a total of 7 months I came up with top 10 must-haves (or have-nots) for Playa Del Carmen. No makeup. Ever. Ok, maybe some lip gloss. If you even attempted to wear makeup it would slide down your face. Natural girls reign…

Return To Valladolid
Six of us were piled in a cab, drinking beers, the hot breeze blowing in our face and Mexican music blaring on the radio. We were driving through the endless jungle as the air freshener swung wildly from the rear view mirror. I was dirty. I was sweaty. I was in heaven. We were lost in…

Skimboarding in Mexico
After watching skimboarders on the beaches of Playa del Carmen, Mexico I knew I wanted to try my hand at skimming the Caribbean waters. I saw a flier advertising a skimboard and went to pick it up. With a little bit of wax, sand and grit, I took to the beach. It was harder then…
