ROAD TRIP OF A LIFETIME, 16 STATES IN 40 DAYS.
Visiting places like Oakland, San Fransisco, New York, Miami, San Diego, Los Angeles, Chicago, and everywhere, from Vancouver to LA. I have seen my fair share of the United States. I finally fulfilled my Southern States Everywhere tour in April of this year. It is no secret the South is known for its food, music […]
A GENUINE ONE IS LOST, THE LUNATIC THROWS SHADE
To the wise, avoid travelling with people you don’t know. This story starts in Vancouver, BC. I chose to live in this city for most of my adult life because of its mild winters. I met this musician named Roache and went on a few dates. The second time we hung out, Roche mentioned his […]
MY LOVE FOR A THRILLING STRUGGLE, AN L.A. STORY
Chasing summer has been one of my favorite pass times. I was never a fan of cold weather. Being in Canada during the winter months has never interested me. I often say I was born on the wrong continent. To start our story, it was October in Vancouver. I looked out the window and felt […]
THE DISASTROUS ENGAGEMENT THAT QUICKLY FOUND ITS END
My family bought property outside a little fishing village called San Felipe, about a four-hour drive from San Diego. This small quaint town is home to 18,000 people and the world desert championship for off-road vehicles. There is tons of land available in gated communities if you are interested in building a home and options […]

IN LOVE WITH A RUTHLESS PSYCHOPATH
About six years ago, I moved to Australia. Looking forward to a year, potentially two-year visa. Almost immediately, I crossed paths with some unique humans from New Zealand. Honestly, they are the most genuine, lovely people I had the pleasure to meet. I quickly attained work at a tattoo shop in Fremantle called five-star tattoo. […]
HOW TO AVOID BEING ROBBED WHEN YOU TRAVEL
Being stolen from is the absolute worst! Luckily, for the most part. If you are aware of your surroundings and cautious, nothing will likely happen. In my experience, I’ve been robbed more times at home in Canada than when I was traveling. Never will I leave valuables in my vehicle again. Unfortunately, a lesson I […]
COMPLETE GUIDE TO LIFE IN MEXICO ON THE CHEAP
When I travel to Mexico, I generally want to remain there for the entire tourist visa. I am all about saving as much money as possible for an extended vacation. I don’t stay in fancy hotels or all-inclusive resorts. These things are a waste of money and could mean the difference between a two-week stay […]
ABOUT
Over the past 15 years, If I were in Canada, I would have stuck close to the mild winters on the West Coast. I loved that there were so many people from all walks of life in Vancouver. When I was younger, city life appealed to me in many ways. Although Vancouver never felt like my forever home. No matter what, I move on to the next place when those cold winds blow. I’ve come across some beautiful spots. But I still seem to be searching for a place to call home. Travelling has been my life for the past 13 years. Experiencing other cultures, ideas, and ways of living are essential. It has given me a different perspective on life in general. Living abroad and integrating myself into the community humbles you. It gives you a new understanding and peace. This is my style. You could probably pay me to go to an all-inclusive, but it just isn’t real. I’ve had to flee the country to protect myself, lived in my car in Los Angela’s, been robbed by Romanian gypsies, chilled with Israelian psytrance pirates, slept in the desert, sold art for gas, hopped a train, missed a tsunami by a few weeks The list goes on. Most of all my travelling I’ve done solo. Not every experience has been sunshine and rainbows. Unfortunately, things don’t always go right, but usually, it’s an excellent opportunity to learn a lesson. Without lessons, there is no growth, so I don’t regret anything that has passed because you always walk away with something. Whether it was the thing you set out for or not, life seems to have a funny way of working out. If bad times arise, I chalk it up to the universe, making it so for a reason. I have found peace and comfort in the words everything is precisely the way it should be.
About a year ago, I started thinking seriously about sharing my stories and experiences. People’s legacies, struggles and hardships are often lost over time. Maybe Maud had ten grandchildren, and at least 5 remembered one story about their grandma, but what if you don’t have kids? Then, who is going to tell your story? No one, that’s who! I may be going through a slight mid-life crisis, but hey, at least I’m not going out and buying a sports car. What initially gave me the idea to write was being told by numerous people, “Wow, that’s crazy, you could write a book.” After receiving this reaction multiple times, I realized that people would genuinely want to read about this. It has been a trip; I have acquired many life lessons from learning the hard way. But it has helped shape me into the charismatic, loving individual I am today. Financially speaking, travel is not a good investment, but emotionally speaking, it is one of the best things you can do for your overall mental health. I wouldn’t give up my experiences for all the money in the world. Having an outlet to document my travel correctly has given me a new lease on life. The amount of positive feedback and inspiration I have instilled in others was unexpected and rewarding. Thank you for checking out my website. I am constantly doing my best to keep the site up and post new content. Thank you so much for your love and support. So follow me as I take you through the stories and adventures that make up my life. This is a tale of an ever-moving stone picking up and losing pieces along the way.
A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS
I never thought of myself as a writer. My grades in English were subpar at best. I have not received formal training, and I am not a website pro. Drama, art, and gym were the only classes I received good grades in. Going into this, I had yet to learn what I was doing. It wasn’t easy by any means. Although, if you want to share your stories and get into writing, do it! You will get more done if you start now.
“I would love to have the means to make a difference on a larger scale. I’ve helped many stray animals get off the street and find love. Caring for animals has always been something I’ve been extremely passionate about. Being able to help animals and those who can’t help themselves would be a dream. There is so much money but few with big enough hearts to think outside themselves.”
If I had money, I would strive to be like the Mother Theresa of cats. I would buy massive properties and turn them into cat sanctuaries. It also supplies people with free housing cause the cats need humans around. Just huge cat mansions where you can work to live. I might also throw some cat cafes in there; it wouldn’t hurt. Greece and Miami are my first stops.
“I used to think a gypsy was a nomad who sold their wares. A person who survived and made a living on the road. Although some Romani people proudly refer to themselves as gypsies, now the word is considered derogatory. Most find it offensive and prefer to be referred to as Romas. I never wish to offend. But I swear I have gypsy blood running through my veins. This way of living embodies my soul.
