Since I last wrote, I’ve been staying busier than I’d like with school and work. However, we’ve also had a few grand adventures, listened to/read a few good books, completed another semester of school, and taken a road-trip to Washinton state and back.

I figured I’d write a few shorter posts and schedule them over the next month with a few highlights from each thing I mentioned above. Not the most exciting content to read, but I want to write about them nevertheless. I suppose you might say I’m writing more for myself as a way to remember my life than for an audience, but if there is enjoyment and value that can be found here for others, welcome!

Currently, I’ve been staying entertained reading a few books by Martijn Doolaard, a Dutch adventurer who has spent a few years traveling long distances by bike. His first book, “One Year on a Bike: From Amsterdam to Singapore” and his second book “Two Years On A Bike: From Vancouver to Patagonia”. I read his books in reverse, starting with his journey through the Americas and his experiences bikepacking through my home country and a few of the latin American countries I’ve visited.

Since learning about this adventurer, I’ve learned he has created a series around his life in the Italian Alps repairing a few old stone cabins. If you’re interested in home restoration, you can watch his beautiful work here: https://www.youtube.com/c/MartijnDoolaard

Thanks for reading,
