Author Archives: Here I am, for only a second time in Mexico, having my senses utterly overwhelmed again by the traffic, dirt, taco stands, street dogs, garbage, potholes, and staccato Spanish of another Mexican town. After spending over a year in Europe, Canada, and the United States, Mexico has come as a shock – even if it is just Mexico-light, as they call Baja California.  Bruno and I are not the only ones who live their lives on the road: introducing a couple of young Greek overlanders we met three years ago at a little campsite in Kenya, and who have continued their travels in two vehicles, 40+ countries and 100,000km! They’ve just written an e-book about their lifestyle, with tons of practical info on how you, too, can live the traveling life of your dreams!  This month, Bruno and I have continued working full-time on our bus conversion, but from Baja California, Mexico, rather than Arizona, USA. We’ve gotten a lot of important tasks accomplished – so much so that we’re just about ready to hit the road in our new home-on-wheels!  An honest take on what it’s like to be a HelpX host – the good and the bad. What it’s like to host strangers, what I’ve learned about being a good host, and whether or not Bruno and I will ever host again.  The most unbelievable thing happened today – Bruno asked me to go for a walk along the nearby beach with him. This post gives an update on the work we have done on our bus conversion in the last few weeks, and explains why Bruno’s request to walk along the beach signifies an important turning point in our project. |
