An Intro
As I huffed and puffed along the last 0.5 miles of the ridge of Angel's Landing, all I could do was focus on my hands on the rope and try not think about how one slip would send me 1500 ft to my death. Segments of it are unchained and while, like roller coasters,...
One Week In South America
As I step back on the escalators leading down to the NYC Subway, I see how much of the last 9 days I can remember. I remember Lima; the way we danced around the fountains as they danced around us, the taste of Peruvian chicken in the middle of the night,...

Good Morning, Colombia!
Hungover. But nevertheless what a nice morning to wake up to in Bogota.
