Soumaya Museum in Mexico City Post three of my 100-post challenge. An attempt at putting my driving experiences into writing.

Also adding some of my own doodles to the post. One interesting element of driving in Mexico is the use of hazards indicators while driving.

Socorro, NM It’s my birthday again. My second as a nomad and my first in a relationship. Some reflections on life, inspired by this past year of adventuring across the continent.

Also very excited about no more young driver’s fee on my rentals.
