Last night I had an epiphany!

Yes, it’s true. Last night I had a “sudden realization or comprehension of the essence or meaning of something”. Took that straight from Wikipedia.
My sudden realization had to do with my desire to travel. I’ve decided I love it too much to stop forever and stay here in the US. As I laid on our blow up air [...]

Time to settle down?

Don’t get excited. I’m nowhere near done traveling. I love it.
But, Chris and I have found a house. Not to buy, just rent. And it fits all (most) of our wants.
It is by the water. Has a decent size backyard. Has 3 bedrooms. A good size kitchen. Meets our budget. And looks nice as [...]

A city with a mascot – Athens, GA

Chris and I spent New Years eve in Orlando and about a week afterwards. Now, however, we are staying in SC while we find a place to live. We have had a lot of places in mind, and one of those places was Athens, GA. So we went and visited this town, who happens to [...]

Back in the states, what?!?

So basically, this is how it happened.
After volunteering, Chris and I decided nothing would be better than to come back and surprise our families for Christmas and Chris’ birthday. So, without telling anyone, we bought tickets, pretended we were going to be bored on Christmas, and took a 10+ hour trip to Guatemala, where the [...]

The Moscow circus in San Ignacio

First impression
Wow! It is so pretty. Well, actually, its so different. Our whole trip we dealt with the coast. So imagine going from sandy beaches, palm trees, and islands to mountains, a chilly breeze, and palm trees. It was a lot different then what we have been dealing with. Not bad at all, just different. [...]

Volunteer Work at Libirty

Ladyville is a suburb of Belize City (which we hate) and relatively boring.
Chris and I spent a grand total of 3 days here at the wonderful Libirty Foundation (a school and home for abused and neglected kids).
The kids were amazing. There were 38 children from the ages of 2 to 15. All were sweet, even [...]

Belize City – Angry Face

Chris and I stayed here for one night, on our way from Caye Caulker to Ladyvile.
I only have a few things to say about Belize City.
1. Hated it. Everyone trying to sell you drugs, you are warned by everyone not to go out at night, and did I mention the crime?
2. Avoid.
That is all.

A few weeks ago we were on an island…

Here is a post I wrote a while ago, but since I’m still trying to do everything in order, have just now gotten to. =(
Its all about an island called Caye Caulker.
After the unevenful bus ride to Belize city we found a taxi and reached the water taxi in less than five minutes. And ten [...]

Andvntures in Orange Walk, Belize

Let me start off by saying Belize is filled with Asian places.
Seriously, Chinese restaurants are everywhere. Which is probably why this place is named Orange Walk.
Anyway, its a nice enough town but not a whole lot to do here. Granted, we were only here one day, but I think it wouldn’t be a place to [...]

Pictures from Tulum, Chetumal, and Corozal.

So since the last updated we have been in three different cities and taken even more pictures. I am so behind.
So tonight I am going to attempt to write up a post for Sarteneja, Orange Walk, and Caye Caulker. I will then post all three and hopefully be able to keep you up to date!
BUT [...]
