“At the end of the day it’s not about what you have or even what you’ve accomplished, it’s about who you’ve lifted up, who you’ve made better, it’s about what you’ve given back.”

My San Pedro Getaway

May 14, 2022 by etchedinadventure

Day 1 in Corozal, Belize [crossing the Mexican-Belize land border] (4/5/22-4/10/22 -I made my way by taxi through the Mexican-Belize land border this morning without issue. Showed them my passport, my vaccination card, and filled out two immigration forms. I am currently in Corozal waiting for my water taxi to the islands.-First impressions: the food and drinks here are out of this world.-I can’t understand anything anyone is saying. In Creole English and Spanish there is so little enunciation that […]

My Vienna Bucket List

January 23, 2020 by etchedinadventure

Vienna is on numerous lists for best places to visit in the world, especially in Europe. Why? There’s a lot to do and something for everyone no matter if you’re a foodie, artsy, or a partier. In addition, it’s not nearly as expensive as countries in western or northern Europe and the city center is very walk-able whilst also having safe, affordable, and efficient public transportation. Food-wise I ate mostly at their amazing Naschmarkt and top ranked Christmas markets and […]

A Portfolio of Poetry (2018)

January 7, 2019 by etchedinadventure

Battling the Demons It seems there are times more often than I’d like to admit, That I spend watching the ice melt, Into the caramel color, And the pile of ash and embers grow into a mound.   I think of my failed dreams in the cage, How a head kick and a right hand, Shattered my pedestal, That was already fragile.   I miss the restless nights in the gym Suffering in beautiful agony, As we sharpened our swords, […]

Saying Goodbye to Taiwan & Paragliding in Puli, Taiwan

November 17, 2018 by etchedinadventure

Taipei: During my several months of living in Taiwan I ventured in Taipei twice for the weekend. The first time was to see my mother who was visiting me from Singapore, the second was to see about a girl. I didn’t explore that much of Taipei because to be honest I was all but done with big cities. I’ve come to the point in my life where big skyscrapers, fancy bars and restaurants, and big chains of hotels and fast […]

Exiting Japan: Tokyo

August 4, 2018 by etchedinadventure

Tokyo was my last stop for my Japan trip and I had some reservations about going. I was growing tired of big cities, debating an over-packed itinerary, and was worried about being overwhelmed by a city even bigger than my old home of Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. So, I just stuck with my instincts: check out a neighborhood a day at a time, relax at night, and just ride the wave. It was also the first time I decided to […]
