Haiti : First Impressions

So it started on last week late Friday afternoon when my boss, all of the sudden, asked if I was available to go on a mission to Haiti on the next Monday, and I non-challantly answered that it wouldn’t be a problem at all. Because jumping on the first plane to a country you’re not sure where it is a...

Gente de Mar, Rosario Islands

When someone mentions the word Cartagena, nice weather, cold drinks, beaches, and fresh pineapple come to mind. You do find those things in Cartagena for sure. Worry not, I am not going to blabber about Cartagena’s nice weather today, because as a coastal region, Cartagena is bound to have a nice co...

As I have just gotten out of my 20s (okay, it was years ago), my endless saga battling the sign of aging is getting more vicious as days go by. I tried to be cool and tried my best to embrace the physical signs of maturity that started to show and I failed miserably. I noticed that in th...

I found two new vending machines in my office building, y’all! They are hidden underneath the stairs in one of the building’s entrance lobbies. This discovery has led to numerous irresponsible trips for snacks during critical hours at work (critical hours means when I start to starve and act like I’...

Fav Colombia Street Food Champions

Unlike most adults in my age that seem to have figured out their lives, I somehow still struggle to understand some basic knowledge, like understanding the four cardinal directions and deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger (but then again, aren’t we all?).

Cartagena

I have been sitting in front of this screen for damn too long trying to sum up our last week in Colombia, which we spent in Cartagena. I just don’t know where to start. Cartagena was magical, there were so many awesome things happening when we were there around Christmas. I thought the city would be...

Rio Claro

I noticed that itinerary of what they called “the road less taken” or “off the beaten path” are à la mode lately.
