The final farewell for our Balboa group. We survived 52 weeks together. 55 started and 44 remained on what was the craziest adventure any of us had every been on. Strangers now family, we sadly were at the end of our trip. Ten countries lived in and many more visited. Too many memories to count … Continue reading The final farewell: Balboa Out

Ending the journey in Mexico City
Many countries fall victim to this but Mexico might get it the worst. Most people from the States have been there. They've went to an all-inclusive resort in Cancún or Cabo for Spring break or a quick weekend away. They got shuttled straight from the airport to their resort where they drank their sorrows away … Continue reading Ending the journey in Mexico City
Mountains and Korean BBQ – A match made in Chilean heaven
Chile was another country that I've always wanted to visit. I don't exactly know why but I just remember wanting to go there one day for a number of years. With us being stationed in Córdoba, Argentina for the month of October, a trip to Santiago was at the top of my wish list. I … Continue reading Mountains and Korean BBQ – A match made in Chilean heaven
Finding sense in the middle of Argentina- A month in Córdoba
Our eighth month was spent in Córdoba, Argentina. Córdoba is Argentina's second largest city and it is smack-dab in the middle of the country.

You are kind of secluded here but it is also just a … Continue reading Finding sense in the middle of Argentina- A month in Córdoba

Throwing misconceptions out the window in Istanbul
This past weekend I took a side trip to Istanbul with three other Remotes. Istanbul is a city I would recommend everyone go to. Its tough with all the terror attacks there recently and I feel bad for the locals there as tourism has gone down as a result of this. As we have seen … Continue reading Throwing misconceptions out the window in Istanbul
Sunday Funday- a hike through Rila Lakes National Park
One of my favorite things about Bulgaria so far is the amount of outdoor activities. The city has many parks and this month all Remotes get a sport card that gets you free access to many gyms across the city. Also, our tracks this month (activities RY sets up for the community. Everything from short … Continue reading Sunday Funday- a hike through Rila Lakes National Park
Portugal. a love story
We made it Portugal! Almost our whole group was relieved when we made it to the land of 75 and sunny, ocean views and pastel de nata. Even though many of us, including myself, loved Prague it was such a nice uptick going to nicer weather. For a guy from the south, there is only … Continue reading Portugal. a love story
Morocco- Camels, Riads and Fresh Threads
I've heard more and more about Morocco over the last few years and it seems to be a growing destination for tourists. Early on in our trip, the group decided we would take a side trip to Morocco while we were in Portugal since it was a short plane ride. To be honest, when I … Continue reading Morocco- Camels, Riads and Fresh Threads
