About Me

My photo
I am a bohemian nomad, someone who acts and lives free of regard for conventional rules and practices, but also one who moves according to the seasons. After traveling to over 100 countries and all 7 continents over the past 12 years I feel that I truly subscribe to the words of Mary Poxon, who said. "I sought to see the amazing as normal and the daily as unique, and in that swirling paradox I found the joy of travel." I will be forever in pursuit of new sights and adventures and hope that maybe I can convince a few more to give budget travel a chance. Budget travel gives those with little money an opportunity to travel and those with money an opportunity to travel longer.

Maderas Beach

Tuesday May 27th 

I took the early truck shuttle with 15 surfers to one of the best beaches to surf in Nicaragua. Another 25 joined a couple of hrs later. I watched for several hours and was amazed at the skill of many of these surfers. There was a crew videotaping what I assume were 2 Nicaraguan celebrity surfers. They were amazing. This seems to be the town to learn to surf. Private lessons are cheap and so are the accomodations.
