Lazy days in Puerto Escondido, Mexico

Posted on November 3, 2012 by The DromomaniacNovember 7, 2012

     It’s a thoroughly unenjoyable seven-hour ride from Oaxaca over the mountains south to Puerto Escondido. The views are great, but it’s impossible to enjoy them through tinted windows as you cross over your 5000th speed bump and the driver is … Continue reading →

Posted on April 11, 2012 by The DromomaniacApril 11, 2012

     It’s been an enjoyable winter being home, watching the Republican presidential candidates try to out-Neanderthal each other. It would be more enjoyable if I didn’t fear one of them winning in November, but it’s time to leave that behind, pack … Continue reading →

Mombasa, Nairobi and my last gasps of Africa

Posted on May 16, 2011 by The DromomaniacMay 19, 2011

     I can’t remember if I said anything about Philip, my Couchsurfing host in Mombasa. Everyone who comes in contact with Philip is taken by his infectious positive spirit. He should work for a suicide prevention hotline or Microsoft customer service, … Continue reading →

Fear and loathing in Kenya

Posted on May 11, 2011 by The DromomaniacMay 13, 2011

     I hate matatus (vans that act as local buses) with a fiery passion. I hate everything about them. They alone can make me lose my enthusiasm for Africa. I hate the economic sense behind it where the drivers have to … Continue reading →

Goodbye San Gil, Hello Bogota

Posted on April 17, 2010 by The DromomaniacApril 20, 2010

One month on the road as of now, but it hasn’t been much road.   On the one hand I am a little embarrassed that I have stayed in San Gil so long.   It goes against the norm for me, and … Continue reading →
