My ABCs of Travel
[23 Jan 2012 | 4 Comments | ]
My ABCs of Travel

We’ve been officially tagged in a game of ABCs! No, this isn’t an unschooling alternative,  it’s travel bloggers equivalent to a chain letter. So, let’s play!  One of our favorite blogs Familyonbikes.org tagged us. We like them. We like them a lot, even did a podcast with them with one coming up shortly. But for now, Miro took the lead with this meme and decided to tackle our ABC’s of travel. His answers are definitely a unique spin on this meme, but we’re happy to play along.
At the end of this post, we’ve passed …

23 Things Traveling Has Taught Me

23 little things
Written by Miro Siegel
My Mom made me write this list. But it’s all true. (Sort of). But the cool thing is, traveling has taught me a lot. I’m a lucky kid. So what have I learned?  The top 20 things below:
1.  I have learned a ton of Geography.
2. I have learned to speak Spanish.
3. Grubby bathrooms at the bus terminals have taught me to always bring toilet paper to the bathroom in public places.
4. Travelling has taught me to bargain.

5. I am no longer afraid of the unknown.

Magic Water in Lima

Magic Water in Lima

Magico Circuito del Agua
Written by Miro:
The other day my mom and I went to the “Magico Circuito del Agua” park in Lima, and let me tell you people, it was really great. There were tons of fountains everywhere and some of them were so huge that you would get soaked just by standing near it. We witnessed an amazing water show with a large fountain, lasers and a video projector. It happens every night at around 7ish. There were also many fountains that shoot water out of the ground and …

Infected-Chapter 4

written by Miro
Chapter 4
Road Trip
“Where are they!?’ She franticly walked around throwing pillows and cushions off a couch. It seemed like she was looking for something.
“I can’t believe those idiots left me to die.” She continued to dismantle the room.
Russel heard a slithering sound in the next room over. He tried to get Sunny’s attention, but she was to busy making a mess of the place. He realized it was probably wild life taking the city back over. Sunny stopped moving.
She had found something. A note addressed to her:
“To Sunny. We have to go. The undead our knocking on the …

Infected-Chapter 3

written by Miro
Chapter 3
Sunny Days
Russel looked around and noticed that the city was chaotic. It always was chaotic, but not in the same way. There was blood everywhere, and the occasional corpse. There was a a deformed man up ahead. The woman accelerated and hit him dead on. Her motor cycle had two katanas pointing outwards. The walkers pale flesh was pierced by the two samurai swords.
She hit the brakes and the zombie slid right off and hit the ground. Russel nearly fell off the motorcycle when the woman drove over the body. It was still alive. After a couple minutes of …

Living Without the Norm
[21 Nov 2011 | 22 Comments | ]
Living Without the Norm

Written by Miro Siegel

So, what do I live without, really?
After travelling for almost 2 and a half years I’ve come to realize I am unique. I am unique in the sense that I don’t have a schedule. I am unique in the sense that the rules of society don’t apply to me. I am unique in the sense that I can be spontaneous. I’ve also realized that most children (or people in general) don’t ever get a chance to break free from the system.
So, what do I live without, really?
All of that clutter. The things I …
