a brief making of an interview, with Sara, Medellin, March 15, 2018
It still happens. I continue to meet people and listen to their stories, and laugh! Time is the only scarce resource but I’ll catch up on editing them one by one. @with Sarah, Medellin, March 15, 2018
Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, Costa Rica, February 16, 2018
In Costa Rica, most tourists visit places close to the Pacific ocean, which was also my case three years ago. Making use of the fact that it was my second time to the country and that I had a car, I crossed the country along the Caribbean coast this time. The differences were visible. It was even more humid and lush green and it rained several times a day. And I noticed an increase in black population and their cuisine. Puerto Viejo de Talamanca is a...
Good people after an accident,Taraza, Colombia, March 10, 2018
I had an accident two days ago. I hit a cow on a highway while driving. Fortunately, no one was hurt and even the cow seems to be doing okay. Although I am even grateful that no one was hurt and that I learned some valuable lessons, I’ve been feeling emotional weight since the accident, as I am in constant contact with the Police and the cow’s owner, figuring out the best option for all. And today, as if some supernatural force decided to cheer me...

parque nacional Tayrona, march 3, 2018
Getting to the picturesque beach at Cabo San Juan required some efforts. We woke up at 7:30am, walked to the city center, took a bus to the entrance of the Tayrona park (1 hour), and hiking in the forest for 2.5hrs. It seems that we took a rougher hiking course than what people usually take – it ended up taking almost 4 hours which involved half-crawling below big rocks and frequent jumping from one rock to another. The beach area was very beautiful. Usually any beach...
with Juan Arrieta and Brett, Cartagena, Colombia, February 27, 2018
When Brett and I were people watching inside the campus of Universidad de Cartagena, Juan came to us. He expressed that he wanted to show us around the city center and it took us awhile to understand his genuine and friendly intention. A law student at the University, he is a native of Cartagena. In fact, he told me he had never visited other places other than Cartagena. I appreciate that he took up courage and expressed that he wanted to know about us, especially because...
Darien crew, pollo Broaster caliche, cartagena, Colombia, February 28, 2018
Darien Gap, the impassable roadblock between Panama and Colombia let us get together and enjoy fried chicken today. Alizee and Stevy (left) are from France who started their overlanding journey from Canada. Brett (right top) has ridden his motorbike from Nebraska, US. When we were in Panama, there were two ships to choose from to send our vehicles. Alizee and Stevy chose the “right ship” – theirs arrived in Colombia on time and the rest of other tourists, including myself, were told that ours is delayed...
E2. Interview with Brett Anderson, Casco Viejo, Panama City, Panama, February 24, 2018,
In the very first video that I uploaded, I talked about why I decided to travel. However, I continue to get asked on a regular basis, “Why do you travel?” by people that I meet on the road, and I suspect this will continue throughout my travel, or even after I finish it. I am curious to observe if my reasons for traveling change or evolve over time, and sometime in the future I plan to shoot another video in which I review my motivations. At...
