…on our travels Written by Miro: I have gotten interested in folklore lately and I have found some pretty creepy stuff. Lets start with Spring-heeled Jack. Spring-heeled Jack was first encountered in England,1837 when a business man was walking home from work. On his way home, he saw a man jumping over a 9 ft. fence into a graveyard. Springheeled Jack was said to have un-humanly features, like large and pointy ears and nose. He was also said to be semi-muscular, skinny, and tall. He traveled all around England with a campaign of terror, …

March for Stronger Laws to Protect Animals & Prosecute Abusers Sunday, February 6, 2011, an animal rights protest was held in Medellin. Miro and I were send an email from an amazing woman who read about us in Gente and knew we have a deep love for animals and thought we’d like to go. She was right. Here is an except from this wonderful email from Patricia who lives in

Art is a creative expression no matter the form. I’ve always gotten to know a city by it’s street art and advertising, both visually communicating more to me than words ever could. I don’t like it when it’s referred to as graffiti, which has a menacing overtone, which I simply don’t think fits. Maybe it’s the relationship with the word, maybe because of the subversion. Either way, the label tends to downgrade a wonderful express that reflects the culture. The problem lies herein: From Wikipedia Controversies that surround graffiti continue to create disagreement …

Lainie and her son Miro began their open ended adventure in 2009, starting in Central and South America. They are slow traveling around the globe allowing inspiration be their compass. The pair is most interested in exploring different cultures, contributing by serving and connecting with humanity as ‘global citizens’. They invite you to travel along with them, share their experiences, on the Road of Life.

Friendships, Love and Goodbyes on the Road of Life Nothing makes the earth seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance; they make the latitudes and longitudes. ~Henry David Thoreau As a traveler, it’s hard to ignore we experience friendships a little differently on the road. Our connections tend to be much quicker, and much more intense. Last year, we had a “proper going away picnic before we left with our friends in Los Angeles.

Written by Miro: Facepalm. After 18 grueling hours on a freezing bus, we arrived in Medellin. We were (or at least I was) happy to get out of the freezing climate of the bus, Medellin is like spring all year long, or, that’s what the locals say. We explored bits and pieces of Medellin, we went to the hands on science museum, botanical garden, few art museums, and the night life area. I really liked the hands on science museum except that it was kind of a rip off, since you had to pay …

(Aversion of this article was featured as a guest post on the CheapoAir blog ) Volcan el Lodo del Totumo Bathing in a mud volcano (Volcan de Lodo) in Colombia, just north of Cartagena sounded like a great idea. This “mud spa” was created by natural gases emitted by decaying organic matter underground. The mounting pressure of these gases pushes the mud upwards where it hardens above ground, creating a miniature mud-filled crater. The volcano’s cool mud runs down into the earth about 2000m. But you float, really (especially if you have boobs). The opportunity to roll around like a pig in mud was high on my lists of things to do, so you can imagine how excited I was when I discovered it was possible in Colombia! Located halfway between Cartagena and Barranquilla on Colombia’s Caribbean coast, El Volcan del Totumo has the honor of being Colombia’s tallest mud volcano. It’s only 20 meters, but it contains enough mud for 50 or so wanna-be piglets to play in it’s troff.

La Boquilla – An Authentic Slice of Colombia’s Caribbean The historical walled city of Cartagena de Indias procvides the perfect backdrop for a bold tale of allure, lust and adventure, leaving no doubt why the 80′s blockbuster Romancing the Stone was filmed there. Miro and I strolled wide-eyed in the old city, soaking in the pastel facades covered by bright bougainvilleas, people dressed in brilliant white bustling between shops, and primal drum beat Afro-Caribbean music throbbing in the streeets. Sucked into the city’s swirling energy, Miro and I spent several days exploring …

Or did they? …because sadly, they seemed quite prepared. Miro and I stumbled into the museum commemorating the history of the Spanish Inquisition as it took place in Colombia, centuries ago. I am not sure what I expected, didn’t actually expect a torture museum, perhaps a lighter version of something resembling the comedy of Monty Python to amuse me, to make light of the atrocities that took place during this dark period of

The Next Steps For the next chapter of our voyage, we are seeking an Intentional Community to live in, participate with and contribute to. The desire to find an Intentional Community has become a very strong impulse for me and as I desire for Miro and myself the opportunity to live in a village and give back. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from our travels so far is that feelings have always been the most reliable compass for us. I am finding it’s less about the places we go …

While the impersonal cold white tiles formed a continuous pattern of large square blocks, they retained the icy temperature of the early Panama morning. They weren’t designed for sitting nor invited a weary traveler to find comfort but that’s what a group of us were doing as we alternated between sitting upright cross legged to sprawling across our scattered luggage attempting to use the soft packs as cushions to create some sense of comfort.
