I was disappointed and realized that I no longer had a place there, but the more profound realization was that I understood that I never had a place, to begin with. Knowing this made me feel homeless in an emotional sense and singed roots. So, I became like a propagated plant changing vessels as I grew but never able to be planted in the ground. This fact can be seen in my record of never living in a place for more than 3 – 4 years after the age of 18. Continue reading Tales: A Story I Couldn’t Tell (Act II)
Warning, this blog will be about me for the first time in a long time. Perhaps this isn’t the type of writing expected from me, but I desperately want to tip the bucket over to prove that looks and behaviors can be deceiving. Continue reading Tales: A Story I Couldn’t Tell (Act I)
Baumwipfelpfad Treetop Walk is 1,300 meters, which is about 4,265 feet, and is 25 meters or 83 feet above the tree line. This tree walk is shaped like an egg or oval, made out of wooden and metal reinforcements. The very top of this structure gives a breathtaking view of the forest, and on a clear day, the northern ridge of the Alps makes an appearance.

The prompt for Day 11 of the Bloganuary challenge is “What does it mean to live boldly?” To live boldly generally means to live a life without reservations. I use the word reservation becaues it will forever remind me of Anthony Bourdain. A figure who has inspired me to travel and start a blog that led me here. I would say Anthony lived a life … Continue reading Tales: Bloganuary # 11 (Boldly Living Bourdain-ism)
The prompt for January 9th is “What do people assume incorrectly about me? For me, it depends on when and where you met me. If you met me as a child in preschool to high school, the assumption would be that I was a loser, nerd, or just another non-player character existing in the landscape of the leading players. During this time, my idea of … Continue reading Tales: Bloganuary (Critical Assumptions End Here)
The prompt for January 8th is “What do you like most about your writing? I wonder how many people found this prompt challenging to respond to in the briefest way possible. I love writing and have a long list of reasons I am drawn to it. That previous statement would seem even more bazaar if I told you that I am dyslexic. I was not … Continue reading Tales: Bloganuary (Writing is a Superpower)
Day 7 prompt was What makes you laugh? This topic isn’t something that I think of very often. I can say that there are no actual defining criteria on what makes me break out in joyful laugher. One moment it can be because I am watching scenes from the old Dave Chapelle tv show and then its becaseu I watched a videos of people falling … Continue reading Tales: Bloganuary (Laughing at the Comment Section)
The prompt for January 6th is “Who is someone that inspires you and why? This is another difficult prompt because we encounter many inspirations throughout our lifetime.

She is a Caribbean American author whose novel Annie John … Continue reading Tales: Bloganuary (Inspired by Jamaica Kincaid)
I am a day late and a dollar short, but yesterday I intended on posting the on 5th day of Bloguanuary, and it didn’t happen.

The prompt for day four of Bloganuary is “What was your favorite toy as a child?” I honestly wanted to skip this prompt today because I felt this topic was too basic and didn’t spark joy. But, then I started to wonder, why does talking about a favorite childhood toy prompt me to shirk away? In pondering this, I realized that I had no … Continue reading Tales: Bloganuary (No Toys for a Child)
The prompt for day three of Bloganuary is “Write about the last time you left your comfort zone.” I have been leaving my comfort zone for most of my life. As a young adult, I learned that in order to navigate the world, I frequently had to experience varying levels of awkwardness and vulnerability. At 18-years of age, I left my home and moved to … Continue reading Tales: Bloganuary (Leaving my Comfort Zone for Friends)
The prompt for day two of Bloganuary is “What is a road trip you would love to take?” If money was no obstacle and time was on my side, my road trip would be an exploration of the Caribbean by way of a sea vessel preferably a yacht , but I am sure if bridges connected every Caribbean island, I would opt for that road … Continue reading Tales: Bloganuary (Road Trip Caribbean Style)
It’s 2022, and I found myself trying to take pictures like I used to, but I feel a bit unsexy and more body-conscious than usual. This isn’t a new thing for me, but that single act of trying to take a nice picture led me to look at all my old photos from 2007 until most recently. I was shocked at how I’d changed, but … Continue reading Tales & Travel: Time Traveling to the Past
