Not a Good Time to Be a Nomad

So this is a pretty bad time to be a nomad. The husband and I have had to deal with this whole Covid-19 thing while we are basically homeless. We have recently been taking a break from travel, spending the last six months in Guadalajara, Mexico. We had been switching from Airbnb to Airbnb, seeing…

Anybody Else a Fan of Velvet?

I originally started watching Velvet (a series from Spain) in an effort to improve my Spanish but then decided that I should switch from Velvet to a show from Mexico, since it seemed to make more sense to focus on trying to understand a Mexican accent.

So I initially struggled along with a backpack that was too small for my stuff, with the seams on said backpack eventually splitting. However,…

Shopping for Vintage Clothing in Chiang Mai: Part Four

The husband and I recently rented a condo in Chiang Mai, Thailand for about five months. OK, maybe not so “recently” but recently enough (late 2018/early 2019) where this blog post is somewhat timely. Anyway, we had a great time and I was quite happy to be in one place for awhile. Chiang Mai is…
