San Ignacio, a charming little town in the heart of Baja California Sur, will forever hold a special place in my heart—and an even bigger place in Jonas and Mathilda’s. Because this is where they found their soul. No, I don’t mean that in the Eat, Pray, Love way where people “find themselves” by drinking […]
Yes, yes, I know—we’re much further down the road than Mexico, but the blog is just catching up to the pace of Shevanigans. And if you know anything about Shevanigans, you know that means my blog writing is even slower than my van. But rest assured, dear readers, we’re back, and this part of the […]
Yes, yes, I know—there’s been a gap. And no, it wasn’t because I fell off the face of the earth, though if I had, I’m sure Finn would have made a great Lassie-style rescue attempt. The reason behind my radio silence will come up in future posts, but for now, let’s pick up where we […]

I mean, where else can you be stuck in a traffic jam caused by bison, then five minutes later be staring at water boiling out of the ground like it’s auditioning for a part in Jurassic Park? It’s […]
From the wide-open arms of Vancouver, I headed south to Seattle—a city that I thought would be just a quick stop on the itinerary. Turns out, the universe had other plans, and I ended up staying far longer than expected. Why, you ask? Because in a stroke of serendipity, I finally managed to get a […]
