There She Goes…

First off, I’m like one of the least Mexican people ever. I have flashbacks from my Grandma making fun of how I say my last name. “It’s GON-zales, not GUN-zales” she would laugh in front of her friends. My parents are both Mexican-American and both are bilingual. I, and my siblings however, are the most…… Continue reading My Mom is my chuper amiga. Do you have one?!

I had no plans to blog my full day in Montreal. To be honest, it was quite boring as I was severely lacking in sleep. Numerous opportunities presented themselves (ie, getting locked out of my AirBnB, forgetting to give the bride and groom their wedding gift, etc), but I resisted because all you’d get were…… Continue reading Au revoir Montreal, hola Houston?

On Friday, I took the train from Montreal to Ottawa. While en route, I got invited by Cate to her non-hen do/ hen do thingy. For non-U.K. people, that’s like a bachelorette party. I get the sense it was not a hen do because Cate values her sleep. As someone struggling with jet lag (the…… Continue reading #weddinggoals

Never in a million, gazillion years did I think I’d be back in Canada. For those of you that followed along last year’s Adventure, remember, I took the train from Vancouver to Toronto. This time around, I’m here in Montreal to attend the wedding of the century! I met Cate (the Bride) and her soon…… Continue reading Back in Canada! Eh:)

Coming to an end in 3 days. But it was WORTH all the stress, anxiety and worry, I promise. I admit in the beginning stages of planning this 2-Part world tour, that even I questioned my own sanity. I had a perfectly decent job (that is until they canceled my hard-earned promotion) and a pretty…… Continue reading 6 months’ vacation is…

Yesterday started off like every other day I’ve been hanging out here at the resort. I got up late, showered, put on a bathing suit because I haven’t actually been in the water yet and head to the restaurant for lunch. I’ve been having a larger lunch at the restaurant and then make a sandwich…… Continue reading Let’s talk about being extremely sick in a foreign country…

I’ve been at the resort for 3 full days now and I haven’t been doing much. And I must admit, it feels really nice. After arriving late Saturday, I borrowed a bike from the resort & headed out on Sunday morning to the grocery store. I am amazed at all the bike-friendly places I’ve been…… Continue reading You better Belize it!

And I didn’t really mean to! I thought I would end my 6 months of travel by laying on (or is it lying on) the beach. I figured, the money will come back and my time wouldn’t. Also, I kind of wanted to show up in San Diego with a wicked tan (which even for…… Continue reading I think I traveled rich. I have a housekeeper!

I’ve been to Budda Cafe twice now only because it’s the best quality, non-carribean restaurant on the island. Yes, this is an island only accessible by boat or by plane. And there are not a lot of options. So you stick with what you know. Also, I’ve seen the cute guy 2 days in a…… Continue reading It’s not wrong to fall in love with my waiter in Tortuguero, is it?

This is Costa Rica’s version! Let me remind you of the fact that Costa Rica is still a very wild and dangerous place. There are a lot of beautiful things here but there are also a lot of untamed things as well. My mom told me about the American tourist kidnapped/missing from San Jose (the…… Continue reading This ain’t no jungle cruise ride at Disneyland…
