FAQ: You asked? Where am I traveling this summer?
Here is your FAQ response:
I start in Colombia, then Ecuador for Galapagos, then Peru for Machu Pichu, and then Brazil for some beach life in Salvador and near Rio. I will finish in Argentina’s Iguazu Falls, then return to Sao Paulo for my Cape Town, South Africa flight. I’ll be there for several days and depart from Johannesburg to Athens, Greece. After being there for a week, I’ll explore other parts of Europe, including Poland and Scandinavia. I’ll be there for a while, and then across to travel in Canada, hopefully Halifax and PEI, before I go home 90 days later via Toronto.
That’s the plan for the summer trip. I’ll be staying with families via Servas (World Peace) and at lower-budget hotels. I’ll book local activities where I can. I’ll have a small footprint and carry a pack that weighs less than 15 lbs.
Lessons learned from my 90-day trip in 2023
Most of them were about the wrong direction or the wrong destination. This time, I know that I may make similar mistakes, but I hope to make fewer of them. I have a hard time with remembering which way I came in, such as a hotel room. I need to be more aware of the physical presence, and take notes in my brain about them.
Today’s Travel Advice- I’m planning the trip daily now, and most of my decisions can be made from Europe. However, if I want to get a Eurail pass, I should do so before I leave the USA.

I am concerned about how the world sees the USA these days. I will never be alone. I’ll always have God with me. I’ll be praying every minute, as best I can.
