cheapbackpacking: October 2009
http://cheapbackpacking.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 16, 2009. To be honest, one of the reasons I sometimes go alone is simply that it's tough to find people to go with, especially on short-notice. So reason number one is just the sheer necessity. But that is not the only reason to enter the wilderness by yourself. Alone, you become very aware of your surroundings, of the clouds forming in the sky, of any little pain in your foot or back. It is an awareness without worry. This in-the-moment experience is worth having. Fortunately it has bec...

Winding down (and the death of a volunteer) | Richard's Reckless Travels
https://goggins.wordpress.com/2010/07/02/winding-down-and-the-death-of-a-volunteer
Richard’s Reckless Travels. A journal of my global shenanigans. Winding down (and the death of a volunteer). I’m always up for saving. I had yet another day of work to do with the trainees on Saturday and then headed to Leon where I met up with Luis for one final round of shenanigans. We’d planned on going to a movie, butit just didn’t happen. We were just too beat I even convinced Luis to go cheap on dinner. It was my first (and not the last) rotisserie chicken I’ve ever gotten in Nicaragua. Which makes...

Another book | Richard's Reckless Travels
https://goggins.wordpress.com/2010/07/06/another-book-2
Richard’s Reckless Travels. A journal of my global shenanigans. Go figure – of course I read another book (I should knock out another one before I leave). The Secret History of the American Empire – A. A book about the corruption and pressure that results in corporations essentially “running” the world. It scares the crap out of me.

Small projects with big outcomes | Richard's Reckless Travels
https://goggins.wordpress.com/2010/05/14/small-projects-with-big-outcomes
Richard’s Reckless Travels. A journal of my global shenanigans. Small projects with big outcomes. Due to the lack of projects going on, this weekend I spent an inordinate amount of time in the cyber. Some of these days I would sit back and think, What am I doing? Here I am in another country why don’t I take advantage of my last months here and get out and visit with the people? Why don’t I go start something new? What will I be doing? What do I want to do? This has been the initial idea the NGO had when...

E. Coli but not E. Coli | Richard's Reckless Travels
https://goggins.wordpress.com/2010/06/05/e-coli-but-not-e-coli
Richard’s Reckless Travels. A journal of my global shenanigans. E Coli but not E. Coli. While Friday nothing exciting went down, things finally started rolling on the 15. I woke up and caught the 5 AM bus to León, only to find that there were 3 busses instead of one. It turns out that 2 of the busses were for the university students. If you’re in a hurry you can take the expreso,. I’m not in that much of a hurry. The next morning, I grabbed breakfast while I waited for Carla (Brie’s old neighbor in Malpa...

WHAT is this?????? | Richard's Reckless Travels
https://goggins.wordpress.com/2010/06/08/what-is-this
Richard’s Reckless Travels. A journal of my global shenanigans. This bug flew into my house the other night and just would not leave. It was so big I thought it was a bat, I trapped it under a container before throwing it out in the yard, but it definitely made me even more jumpy. Those tiles are 4 x 4 inches square.

Richard’s Reckless Travels. A journal of my global shenanigans. Rene, Kelly, and Sarah (Rene owns the bike shop I hung out in for my first couple months of service). Me - What are you doing? My neighbors - the only time my neighbors are serious is when they re taking a picture. Go figure. Lucia (works in the MINED), Jim (my sitemate), Keyla (the 6th grade teacher I started my spelling bee with). Me and my counterparts (once again, only serious in photos).

cheapbackpacking: September 2009
http://cheapbackpacking.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 27, 2009. Tip Travelling Third World Country. Budget travelers will often choose third world countries as their destinations because of the radically different experiences they offer and the lower costs involved. It will be useful for the new traveler to take these suggestions into consideration:. 1 Don't always try to spend the least amount of money. It feels good to pay the full price in appropriate circumstances (such as encouraging a local economy not run by multinationals). While i...
