I celebrated my 27th birthday three days ago (btw, everything should be celebrated on the beach) and I’m still sitting with the fact that I’m officially in my late 20’s. It’s a weird feeling because it’s the first birthday that I can remember that’s made me feel “funny,” for a lack of a better word. [...]

Allow me to be a jackass for a minute when I say that I’m tired of seeing events for Haiti relief and artists doing collaboration songs about it. Yes, I’m serious. I just don’t see the point. What happened in Haiti is a devastating crisis. Every time I read an article or see photos, a [...]

As you guys have noticed, I haven’t been writing as much as I used to, which is a pity because I have so much to say. I’ve just been feeling slightly unmotivated these days. Actually, that’s not true. I’m feeling very motivated, but I feel a bit lost and unsure of my purpose. So, I’m [...]

Before I settled in Brazil less than a week ago, I was all over the place: DC, New York, Atlanta, Ohio, and Jamaica. The great thing is that I’ve been able to see friends and clients that I’ve been working with for months. Everywhere I went, everyone asked me if I’ve lost weight and after [...]

It’s been quite awhile since I’ve written anything on here. It’s mainly because I’ve been in a new city every few weeks. Last night, I celebrated the new year in Brazil and it was great.

The other day I was thinking how great world peace would be. Not just for the traditional reasons, but for travel also. Can you imagine what it would be like to get on a plane without having to drag your shoes off at security only to show mismatched socks? Wouldn’t it be great to travel [...]

I’m getting ready to go back to Brazil in about a month. And I thought to myself….self, it might be good to get some extra cash. Days of searching on the Internet pointed me to Demand Studios. It’s a company that uses writers to produce content for sites like eHow, Live Strong and Trails. When [...]

American Airlines just launched a website for the black travel experience and I hate it. Now, I won’t deny that one of the reasons that I hate this thing is because I had a similar idea years ago that I kinda started so I know that this can be much better than it is. However, [...]

I’ve been working on a city guide to Bahia for a few days now and then realized that I haven’t looked at my photos since I’ve been back. So while I finish writing up all that stuff, here’s a small photo essay on Bahia.

For the past two days I’ve been pissed. It was a combination of things, but it all stemmed from feeling that my coupled friends didn’t respect me being single. Now, now, hear me out. (and please remember that I said awhile ago that we were free to say what we wanted here. Don’t hold it [...]
