Nope. No foreign travel for me this past year. A tri-country tour was supposed to happen but my gut told me early on it will not happen. And it didn’t. More local trips were in store for me. More unchartered domestic destinations uncovered. I fell […]

So somewhere up north I was able to cross a hanging bridge above a free-flowing river from the jungles. I vividly remember the slightly swaying steel rods as it groaned under me and Hazel’s weight. Rusty and worn-out, the bridge could use a new smudge […]
