Up to this point in my life, I haven’t had the pleasure of exploring a lot of South America. I spent two weeks in Ecuador in 2018 and went to Aruba once in college, but that’s it. One of my best friends is from Argentina and moved back after the first year of my career. I hadn’t seen her in person since. So we set out to change that!

How My Diet And Fitness Changed In Retirement
I was very curious when approaching retirement to see what kind of retiree I would be. Some people say that in early retirement they’re in the best shape of their lives and others seem to lean more into an “every day is a vacation” mindset aka “what’s a vegetable?” 😉 . So I was simply curious. And like most things in my life, the answer seems to be: it’s complicated 🙂 . Let’s get into it. Continue reading “How My Diet And Fitness Changed In Retirement”
The Month Of Acadia: October 2022 Recap
I feel like every monthly recap begins with me not understanding how time is passing so quickly…and I will not be breaking that streak today 🙂 . How is 2022 80% over?!? My brain cannot comprehend it. Well, another month is done, I experienced fall, and enjoyed some season-appropriate adventures. Let’s see what I got up to!
The Month Of Maine: September 2022 Recap
And just like that, it was fall 🙂 . I always thought of myself as a summer girl, but given that I can soak up all of the lessening hours of sunlight instead of dreamily looking at them outside my office window, I’m coming around to this season. It’s definitely more pleasant to run in, I’m enjoying the warmth of tea in my belly and a fluffy blanket on my lap when I (inevitably) read a book in one sitting. Consider me a changed woman 🙂 . So, let’s see what I got up to during this first month of fall!
The Month Of New Hampshire: August 2022 Recap
2022 continues to pass by with the speed of a bullet train. I guess I’m having too much fun 😉 . This month we continued our exploration of the northeast – we like to come here in the summer if possible since it’s cooler than other parts of the country. We started by saying “hi!” to family in New York State and then moved further east. So let’s see what I got up to!

Slow Travel Review: Seattle, WA, USA – The Land Of Flowers, Sea And Mountains
I’m writing this while watching birds chase each other around the neighborhood while gazing out at the Space Needle, Mt. Rainier, Puget Sound and downtown Seattle. I didn’t realize until I landed here how much I missed this city. Continue reading “Slow Travel Review: Seattle, WA, USA – The Land Of Flowers, Sea And Mountains”
The Month of Seattle: June 2022 Recap
2022 is half over…which is strange since my brain still seems stuck in 2020. Oh well. This month we headed back to the States for the first time in several months only for the supreme court to overturn Roe v Wade and take us back 50 years…Welcome back to America I guess.
