I am a terrible cook. I do not mean that I literally cannot cook anything. It is that I cannot cook anything beyond eggs, grilled cheese, rice and sauteed veggies. If a recipe has more than 3 ingredients or requires more than 2 pots or pans, I will not even attempt it. I am the […]
Take Off Your Shirt and Don’t Mind the Suction Cups
I decided that if I was going to be on a diet of steak, pasta, gelato, dulce de leche, pastries, cheese, cured meat, and wine for a couple months, I should probably look into joining a gym. I normally run outside, but it’s pretty freaking cold in Buenos Aires late Fall and Winter, especially if […]

Peanut Butter, I Miss You
It is Easter, and all I want is a peanut butter-filled chocolate egg. Peanut butter is hard to find in Latin America. They just don’t have a taste for it I guess. And when you do find it in a store, it is ridiculously expensive because it is an imported brand from the US. The […]

A Tourist in Bogotá: 1000 Photos in 5 Days
I am usually careful to distinguish myself as a traveler rather than a tourist. That may sound snobbish, but I think there is a difference. A tourist is someone on vacation.
