About this blog

My journey is to experience the stories I will tell my grandkids. My journey will begin in Panama's tropics. The mixture of her waves, nature, and people has long been a tossed salad I have craved, and I shall have Panama as a healthy serving on my plate of travels. The temptress, South America, has teased me for too long. I shall have her. Australasia shall be a haven for my soul as friendships shall be reunited(sleeping on mate's couches) from college days. Southeast Asia shall be my lands and waters for spaghetti arms (surfing) and power squirting (adventure eating). India's curries shall be sweating through my skin before Africa's rthyms make me an awkward white man. Finally to Europa where I shall do as the Romans do. Enjoy.
