A hallmark child of the nineties, various phases and interests piqued my interest per year, some sticking through time more than others. There were, of course, the fads that found their way more universally among my peers: pogs, Beanie babies, Tamagotchis and Lisa Frank merch. I shared in those. Then there were the other phase obsessions that found their way to seemingly me alone, for whatever reason. One of them was wolves. Wolf posters and plushies abounded in my bedroom, howling under full moons or huddling in their dens. Another was an unslackable interest in Switzerland (and the Alps, in general). A small Swiss flag sat in the cupholder at my desk, next to Rainbow Brite magnets and Lisa Frank erasers. Exactly why the interest took hold, I will never be able to say for sure, though I have a few suppositions. There were the NOVA specials on PBS I would watch with my Dad in the evenings, showcasing breathtaking landscapes, biomes, flora and fauna across the globe, some of which featured the spanning panaroma of the Alps. There was my copy of the National Geographic Society’s book on the Alps (prepared by the Special Publications Division), with its cover showcasing the snow-peaked Matterhorn mountain in all its majesty. And there was of course the movie, The Sound of Music, with Julie Andrews. One of my fondest memories of my Mom: a summer of nights making make-shift quilted forts in the living room while we ate raspberry sorbet out of the carton and watched the timeless film.

Spirit Island
2021, fresh out of COVID territory, my Ex and I decided to go somewhere after spending the year in lock-down while going through his cancer treatments. It was a trying year and we both were in desperate need to live again. He decided upon Calgary, Alberta – specifically to visit the Canadian Badlands in Drumheller, Banff National Park and Jasper National Park of Canada.

¡Viva Mexico!
It was while on a weeklong visit to a Cancun resort in the district of Quintana Roo, my sister and I decided to take an excursion one hundred miles inland to Chichén Itzá. The trip to the Mayan city was not my sister’s first, but it was mine, so I was excited. The day of the planned excursion, we climbed into a van with six other tourists at sunrise around 6:30 that morning, each of us sleepy but eager for the sights to be seen. Within moments, we drove away, leaving behind the comfort of a plush, comfortable hotel and luxurious beach. I, for one, was unaware of what I would see in Chichén Itzá - or even on the trip along the way.
