Spin the globe: Bogota

Mar 24, 2024

Back to Bogota, for the first time since 2016. Feelin the love, reliving the past, catching up to today. Filled my soul right up!

More Mongolia

Oops in a remote corner of Mongolia

Jan 22, 2024

My first 18 hours in Mongolia were eventful, evocative, awe-inspiring, and ultimately divine. Thank goodness for cold weather gear… and yaks!!
