Bucket List Things: 12 AM Swimming on a Private Beach in Teotepeque
The sea, the ocean, extensive bodies of water, they’re breathtaking sites but terrifying. Though it may appear as if I’m continuously doing some water-related activity, the reality is, I’m incredibly dreadful of massive bodies of water. The fact that the majority of water is undiscovered, the strength of the current, and combine that with me…

A Horror Story: Mistakenly Renting a Stolen Car in Central America
I’ve never rented a vehicle. I mean, my sister and I always get a rental wherever we go. But, I have never been of age to have anything in my name. This adventure was not dull in the slightest. From locating to returning the rental, the stories are too insane not to share.

El Salvador Series: Four-Hour Hike To and From Santa Ana Volcano
I told them, I swear I did. My friends downplay how adventurous I tend to be. I warned them that this wouldn’t be one of those cute girl trips where we sit by the beach or pool and do nothing but drink and take selfies. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. But, you can…

Aruba Aloe
The aloe museum, factory, and farm was a satisfactory experience. I’m not quite sure what I expected, but it wasn’t that. I’m a plant mom of many babies, so I looked forward to this. The idea of taking a peek into the factory that turns a plant into many cosmetic products was interesting to me.…

Arubiana’s UTV Rental
Renting a UTV for a day to go around the island was one of the most enjoyable things we did on this trip. We explored areas that we would not have been able to get to with our car. I thought 8/9 hours would be more than enough time to do everything, but it wasn’t.…
