Lake Atitlan Hideout is a private apartment nestled among pines and palms on the side of a mountain with epic and unobstructed views of the sunrise & sunset. It’s where perspective altering views meets pure living, deep sleeps and hammock relaxation. It’s a place to simply slow down, de-stress, discover the Maya, live incredibly cheap, and enjoy spring […]
If I Could Go Anywhere…
Where would I go? The answer for me is a simple one. The birthplace of my favorite explorer with whom I share the same name.

Is Auschwitz Worth Visiting?
To be honest, I didn’t really want to visit. I had been to the Holocaust museum in New York many times growing up. I didn’t want to pay 20$ for what I knew would be a depressing 5 hour tour. But my friends wanted to go and so I decided to follow them. First things […]

“So what will we do with you now? He said it long and slow, biting into W’s and licking his L’s. “Are you joking?” I said, my heart racing faster than it should of been. “Not joking you. You must pay.” All I could see was his big dumb polished head reflecting the bus stop […]

I Am Stronger Now
It’s 9pm in San Salvador. The streets are cast in dark shadows. A cool wind rustles tree branches and steel doors. I’m walking from my hostel to a store a few blocks away.
