Living life to the fullest as I travel my planet with nothing holding me back



Europe » Ireland » County Dublin » Dublin » Ballsbridge August 10th 2015

The winter of 2014 in Dublin was no joke. Being from Chicago I figured I could adapt to the climate, however I came to terms that it was unbearably cold. Dublin was a very quick one day trip, so my apologies for those who expected more on this blog. Upon my arrival trinity college was my first visit, loved the architecture, but I was saddened to find that the library and the book of Kells exhibit was closed due to the holiday season. So off to a pub I went. Along the way I ran into St. Patrick's Cathedral, simply amazing! I've seen some massive churches in my day, but this one takes the crown. Outside from every angle, I tried to squeeze my body into the massiveness of the church when snapping a selfie, but ... read more

Europe » United Kingdom » Northern Ireland » County Down » Belfast December 18th 2014

I always wanted to go to Belfast and to see what this place is all about, well I always wanted to go to Europe and see a castle, and chase some sheep. They say it's always green year round here, which I had a hard time imagining this to be, but it is! It rains like every flippin day for this to be so! Anytime I travel to a new destination I get that -travelbuzz- feeling for the unexpected that awaits me, however I was a bit disappointed for the scenery was reminding. Being spoiled in Morocco, for every turn was an exotic adventure, made Northern Ireland look like just another city to be saw like home. None-the-less it was fun, I stayed with friends in the country side called county down. Sheep roamed their back ... read more

Africa » Morocco May 28th 2014

This was my first solo out of the country trip in which I planned to couch surf the country and figure out how to get around. Upon my arrival I happened to struggle a bit as I lost my wallet containing my ID, a bogus credit card and about $60 dollars, but even more of a headache, my airline left my luggage back in the states - thanks American airlines. I made do, and thankfully got my luggage back 3 days later, in which, my trip would officially begin. I started my journey in Casablanca whom my first contact met me and guided me to my hostel but was no longer able to host me the next day. So I went to my plan B - Hamdi, who was more than happy to host me in ... read more

South America » Peru » Cusco » Inca Trail August 19th 2011

In August of 2011, I headed to Peru with a friend to ultimately see Machu Picchu. Our journey would begin right out side of Lima in a ocean side suburb called Miraflores. The taxi was a bit lost when searching for the hostel, making wrong turns down dark sketchy alleys with looks given from the outside wasn't the most welcoming feeling to Lima, but we would eventually arrive to my first hostel of my traveling ventures. Miraflores is a very modern suburb with a lot of upscale restaurants and shopping centers that are perched upon a cliff that over looks the pacific. Surfers take wave during the high tides of the winter while paragliders sore over the cliffs taking in the ocean side view. Which was I to do? I figured it was a bit risky ... read more
