Santiago’s Turn Deja Vú I’d been to Chile once before—ten years back. Nice enough. Iquique had the sea, the sunshine, the breezy, sandblasted charm of a city that minds its own business. But I knew then, quietly and inconveniently, that I hadn’t scratched the surface. Santiago still waited. And now, en route...

Sasabe, Sonora. A border town half-forgotten by the map, but not by its people. Dust hangs in the air like memory. The streets are quiet, but alive — a wave from every passerby, dogs trailing behind like old friends.

I’d heard stories of recent violence around here and couldn’t help but wonder if we were safe today — that uneasy balance between beauty and danger that lives on the border.

There’s a small plaza, a heartbeat of the place, and one little market where we grabbed some sweets and snacks. Nothing fancy. Just simple moments that remind you why you travel — to find life in the places everyone else forgets.

I’ve stamped every passport page, crossed every border worth crossing. But now it’s time to turn the lens inward—to shine a light on the stories hiding in our own backyard.

Wisconsin Breakdown 45 days. No sweets. No treats. Dropped 15 pounds and feeling smug as hell—until Milwaukee happened. More specifically, Leon’s Custard. A temple of temptation disguised as a roadside stand, lit up in enough neon to guide ships home in a storm. It broke me. Back to the Future Inside, it....

I really try my best not to bad-mouth any country...but they asked!
