¿Dónde está Alyssa?

Looking for the next destination.....the hunger will never be quelled.

Breaking up...isn't so hard to do

JAPAN | Thursday, 13 Sep 2007 | Views [265]

As you may have noticed I've been ignoring this blog.  I've found that I've been increasingly losing interest in updating this site. The time has come to break up with worldnomads.  I would like to say it's been there for me in good times and bad but ... Read more >

Uso-mitai!

JAPAN | Sunday, 26 Aug 2007 | Views [999] | Comments [2]

This is too good to be true....I'm living on a tropical island in southern Japan, eating cheap fresh sashimi and being greeted by the cutest, friendliest Japanese children as I stroll the street. I don't think life gets much better than this. After ... Read more >

The Adventure Ends

ARGENTINA | Friday, 22 Jun 2007 | Views [284]

Well, it's officially over...I am back in southern California, sitting on my king-sized bed, freshly showered (without wearing flip flops for the first time in 3 months!) and unpacking the contents from my overstuffed backpack into my old dresser. It ... Read more >

The Countdown Begins

ARGENTINA | Thursday, 7 Jun 2007 | Views [407] | Comments [2]

That´s right, we´re looking at just 13 days left of this Latin America Adventure before both Trishy and I get on our respective flights out of South America back to our home countries.  By this point I think we are both ready and our minds are definitely ... Read more >

Thwarted!

CHILE | Friday, 1 Jun 2007 | Views [278] | Comments [1]

It´s official: we are STUCK in Chile. We attempted to leave San Pedro today and sat on a still bus for 3 hours, hoping the highway would open.  Apparently there has been heavy snow in the Andes so the pass we need to drive through to get to Salta, Argentina is ... Read more >

Stuck in the Chilean desert

CHILE | Thursday, 31 May 2007 | Views [287]

I suppose there are worse things than being stuck in San Pedro de Atacama.  The sun is shining, the food and coffee is quite good and it feels familiar, almost like a mini Santa Fe, New Mexico.  But when you have four days to kill and not much to do ... Read more >

No Peace in La Paz

BOLIVIA | Monday, 21 May 2007 | Views [493] | Comments [5]

Well I promised I would write about everything, so it wouldn´t be true to form if I didn´t create an entry about the past few days in La Paz. However, let´s first go to happier times, 4 days ago... Trishy and I left stinky, dirty Puno, Peru on an ... Read more >

Breathless and blistered for Machu Picchu

PERU | Tuesday, 15 May 2007 | Views [4263] | Comments [4]

I can't believe that in the last 4 days I trekked 32 kms hiking through the magnificent Peruvian Andes. I trekked through a pass at an elevation over 12,000 ft, camped at freezing temperatures and felt all wonderful types of altitude sickness... all ... Read more >

Are we in Peru yet?

PERU | Sunday, 6 May 2007 | Views [416] | Comments [1]

Yes, we are. It took over 24 hours broken up into 3 days but we made it. I would write more but just as I was about to finish a well written entry about my last few days in Ecuador and my first impression of Peru we had a black out. An hour and a half ... Read more >

Galápagos galore

ECUADOR | Tuesday, 1 May 2007 | Views [959] | Comments [2]

Once again, I´m back in Quito. I still feel like I´m on the boat as I sit here typing. I can still feel myself sway from the sea... Just a few days ago Trishy and I met up with our Intrepid group to embark on our Galapagos adventure. We were all dropped ... Read more >
