Central America, once home to the Mayan Civilization, offers a Wander-worthy mix of old and modern.
First Impressions of Oaxaca City
Intro We knew we wanted to visit Mexico for Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) a joyful holiday to remember lost loved ones, but the question was, where in Mexico did we want to celebrate it? A quick Google search came up with the same answer over and over again.

The Wanderer
Life without my dad has been almost painfully normal. I’ve always thought about him in another era, one ancient and primal where he belonged, wandering an unknown world. I think he was one of the last of a certain kind of person, and the mundane world I was raised in was crushing at times for him. He was the odd one, the one who lived for extremes and wild places, and telling stories about him sometimes feels like fiction, even though I was there and I know that some people really are the main character, gloriously flawed and inherently special.

Xochimilco Canals — Party Down the Floating Gardens of Mexico City
Intro This was the one thing in Mexico City that I was truly excited for, the Xochimilco Canals. A boat party and I don’t mean the kind of boat party you might go on in Malia ala the Inbetweeners. No drinking fish bowls and throwing up overboard, before snogging a questionable stranger. No, I mean a Mexican Fiesta onboard a trajinera! Xochimilco is a world heritage site. The waterways are left over from what used to be a vast lake used for transportation during the pre-Hispanic period. It is a charming scene of intense greenery and the wetlands are a habitat for migratory birds.

My Adventure in Central America
Man, these sure have been a tough couple of years! Out of the many, many inconveniences and restrictions brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic, I’d have to say that the worst part for me was having been deprived of perhaps my one true passion – travel. Oh man, how I love to travel. Be it - sailing through the vast oceans of the world, or watching as the clouds drift by at 40,000 feet as you go halfway across the world; hiking up a mountain until you can barely breathe, pushing your way through the thick, untouched vegetation of the jungle, or lying on a tropical beach somewhere with a cocktail in hand – it is everything. It’s what makes me feel alive!
