    End of Days in Playa Del Carmen And Where We’re Going Next

    Since leaving Canada in early December we’ve been hanging out in the warm weather of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.

    In the past few months we’ve enjoyed gorgeous beaches, interesting ruins, fabulous meals, snorkeling with turtles, hanging out in ecoparks, lounging in swimming pools, riding on buses plus pretty much everything else you would get to do living at home. It’s actually been low key compared to our previous trip, but we knew that coming in.

    We’re only a few days from our flight to Spain. With the weather cooler there than what we’re now used to it will be a wake up call once we set foot on the ground.

    We don’t have a lot planned so far, however I’m expecting we’ll spend a few days to a week checking out Madrid before heading south to warmer weather or maybe even west to Portugal. It should be a fun time regardless of where we end up and we’re looking forward to traveling Europe with our little ones.

    Where’s Home for a Barefoot Nomad?

    Where is home?

    Is it a place? The house you grew up in? Where you keep your most treasured possessions?

    Is it a country? Lines drawn on a map, forged by treaties and wars and negotiations?

    Once, home was what I knew, what was familiar, what was nearby. The world was unknown, full of places I hadn’t seen and unfamiliar people.

    We’ve been on the road, off and on, for over ten years now. First as a couple hanging out in dodgy hostels and hanging off the back of tuk-tuks in Thailand, and now as a family with two little travelers leading the charge.

    All those years have left an imprint: Home is a mosaic; a collection of places and people, tastes and sounds.

    Overcoming The Fear of Travel… Maybe

    When people ask us why we travel so many answers come to mind. Though rarely spoken, my initial thought is always the same, “How can I not travel?”

    Most hope for simple answers. Unfortunately I don’t have any simple answers for them, just a few questions and a lot of maybe’s….

    Do You See The World In Color?

    My world was once black and white. Then, one day, I stepped onto a plane that went half way around the world.

    Everything changed. Now, when I’m asked why we travel, it’s hard to explain in words. I’ll let the colors tell you…

    When It’s Time To Splurge

    Like most travelers, we aren’t made of unlimited money (wouldn’t a trust fund be nice!). We save cash a lot of ways, from traveling during shoulder season, to bargaining and living more like locals.

    There are times, though, that it makes sense to splurge a little and tell your inner Ebeneezer Scrooge to get lost.

    How do you know when to tell your inner cheapskate to take a flying leap?
