Pulque and a True Locals Experience

January 9, 2019 By luvzog

Las Duelistas

Pulque and a True Locals Experience While on my Experience of the Teotihuacan Pyramids, I got talking (shocker I know) to a couple of locals and they told me that if I really wanted to try the true flavor of Mexico City, I needed to drink Pulque.

Loneliness of Long Term Travel

December 22, 2018 By luvzog

Bolivia Salt Flats

I had a conversation with my college roommate last night and she was quizzing me on my trip, asking a myriad of questions mostly focusing on why I'm doing it and how emotionally can I do it.

Heading to Munich for Oktoberfest but flew into Nuremberg from London & didn't want to go straight there due to the higher cost of rooms so I just picked a spot midway & ended up in Regensburg. I really enjoyed my short two night stay. Had a chance to walk & explore. I specifically … [Read more...]

One Year In…

May 5, 2018 By luvzog

One Year In… Well here I am, one year from the day I shut down my life and started on the “Experience of a Lifetime”. On May 5th, 2017, I had sold my house, quit my job, sold my car and put what was left into an 8x10 storage unit. From there I made the jump… Boarded a plane for Iceland and … [Read more...]

Where Am I And Where Am I Going – A Typical Day In The Life Of The Collector of Experiences…

April 28, 2020 By luvzog

The Where, How & The What… Usually at night around 20:00 when I get back to my flat (AirBnB, Hotel, Hostel, CouchSurfing, TrustedHouseSitters) after a day of wandering & exploring (I average walking @8km a day), I fire up the laptop, get online via free WiFi (I do carry SkyRoam, but I use that only […]
