Who would have thought that a city that was once the largest beer producer in the world could make you feel like a kid again? Well, Milwaukee has plenty of ways to do just that… oh, and they still have beer! 1- Ride a Bike – Yes, I know that adults ride bikes. However, I…

Sportsing at Miller Park in Milwaukee
You read the title right, yet again I was sportsing. My summer has been full of new experiences, but the amount of times I’ve found myself participating in or spectating sports-ball matches is the most surprising. In case you couldn’t tell, I know exactly 0 about sports. I learned literally all I know about baseball…
What To Expect From A Fathom Cruise The Dominican Republic
Back in April I was all packed up and ready to be one of the first passengers aboard the Fathom Adonia as she sailed into the Dominican Republic for a week of “impact travel”, whatever that meant. Of course, that voyage was not meant to be and lead to a great adventure in Colombia. Fast…
Confessions of Entitled Millennial Traveler
I am entirely sick of this “entitled Millennial” BS. Millennials are certainly not the first generation that their predecessors have decided weren’t quite up to snuff and in a few years I’m sure our children won’t understand our struggles or how those struggles have made us somehow superior to them, what with their time traveling…

The Asociacion Panamericana Para La Conservacion, or APPC to minimize confusion, is a wildlife rehabilitation facility in the Gamboa Rainforest surrounding the Panama Canal that takes in all manner of local wildlife, from porcupines to jaguars, and a whole lot of sloths. The APPC takes in a number of animals due to problems like loss…
Magnolia Inn- Casco Viejo, Panama City
Similar to what I found in Cartagena, Panama City is divided into two major sections, the old and the new. The newer section is much like any modern city full of fancy hotels, casinos, and sky scrappers, while the old section trades some of the big city glitz for historic buildings, charming streets, and museums. …
Eastern State Penitentiary- A 200 yr Old Look at Justice in America
Apparently there was a time in America when punishment for your crimes was that you get to go live in a castle for a bit. Of course it was not all that glamorous, but the exterior of the Eastern State Penitentiary is stunning. Eastern State created the penitentiary system in which inmates were kept in…
Leaving Room for Serendipity
Someone once told me to, “Plan enough to cover your ass, but leave room for Serendipity.” I wish I knew who to attribute that quote too, it’s just something that’s been buzzing around in my brain for a while and obviously speaks to me. As a terrible planner, the latter part of that comes a…
