Wiped Out After A Journey Across the Earth

November 9, 2022July 12, 2023 Michael Green

Traveling across the earth threw me for a loop. There was not a thought about being on the receiving end of extreme jet lag. When traveling across time zones, odd fatigue and not being able to sleep at night are often a given,

As the subcontinental railway is the pulse of colorful India, the refurbished former US school buses are the man-made vibration of greenery-laden Guatemala. Shortly after arriving at the Guatemala City airport, I was on a 45-minute shuttle bus bound for Antigua, Guatemala. Upon

Mayan Time Travel at the Ruins of Zaculeu

September 17, 2022July 10, 2023 Michael Green

Unplanned until the evening before, I found myself wandering the grounds of the smaller than average, ancient Mayan site of Zaculeu, in Huehuetenango. Because Guatemala’s second biggest city of Quetzaltenango hosts a huge celebration for the country’s Independence Day, I was forced out
