The Hat Trick of Failures!
Water outage, internet outage, power outage and yet it is funny how a hat trick of failures leads me to exactly where I should be and things always fall into place.
No Water Means a Night in a Hotel
What do you do when a city water pipe breaks and you have no water? Hotels.com…that’s what you do. Karisma Hotels & Resorts I am now a dedicated lifer to your hotels.
Cooking Class at SkyKitchen with Romario
A soul equally as full as my belly. Cooking is my art expression and ingredients are my muse. Cooking class at SkyKitchen…a million times #ItWasWorthIt
Real Talk: Grayl Water Bottle
Grayl Water Bottle Purifier vs. LifeStraw Filter. Both bottles are highly rated but are for different purposes. The key thing to note is that one is a ‘Filter’ and one is a ‘Purifier’.
Where to Stay & Go: Cartagena’s Neighbourhoods
Cartagena’s coolest neighbourhoods, either to stroll through and explore or to stay. I highly recommend all 3 of these barrios and each with a very district and unique vibe. There is something for everyone in Cartagena.
Finishing out the first work week in Cartagena
The lows of day 1 and the highs of day 2. I love this city, it has the entire recipe to restore a person’s faith in humanity.
Is the test mandatory? Test or No Test
Ethically you should test! Let’s face it, the test is not cheap and if it isn’t mandatory it’s a price tag that is hard to swallow…but Just Do It!
Travel Safety Plan
Planning for adventures is under control but what about travel safety for a digital nomad?
Planning for arrival in Cartagena, Colombia
Groceries and Tours for Days: It’s always tough on arrival day for what to do when you don’t get there until dinner time. First thing is obviously checking into the accommodations and figuring out what you are going to eat for dinner.
So that just happened
When lemons make margaritas! How the worst news is actually the best. 8 hours worth of phone calls and hold times and it turns out that the world has a plan for me and I am loving its plan…hiccups and bumps included.
Forbidden Vancouver Tours
I really truly highly encourage locals to indulge in these tours, not only does it support local businesses but it is also a COVID friendly social activity. The tours are all outside, you get fresh air and exercise and enrich your knowledge of local history. Win Win!
I blame my parents
What if our brains required activation? Instead of the constant activate state that it is. What I mean is that we don’t actually have to turn it on and off. If we had to actually switch it on in the morning and turn it off at night…would we still experience the auto pilot state?
Let the light in
I am not entirely sure the purpose of this post to be fully honest, I just know that I needed to assist my thoughts in escaping from my brain.
Sit tight folks…something is coming
Something is coming…but not yet. So cool your jets top gun…it’s almost time!
Why Malaga…you tell me
Ugh, Malaga, Spain….
Seville is the epitome of amour
You will leave Seville feeling seduced by the intimacy of this moorish influenced centuries old traditional city. This is one Spanish city that is 100% Jackelyn Approved. It’s been decided, this is my favourite city in Spain.

Comedy of Buses, Trains, and Rakia
Transportation in Bulgaria is a true adventure, from buses that feel like they’re one pothole away from a demolition derby to trains that stop more often than a confused tourist asking for directions. But nothing compares to the night train to Turkey, where the smells, sounds, and snoring neighbors will have you questioning if you’re on a train or in the middle of a surreal Bulgarian dream.
