Rooted in Nature, Adventure Lived.

Jungle Lifestyle

Living 4 years in the jungle has given me a few insights and lessons on calling Belize home. I have recently creating guides and instruction on living in the jungles of Belize. Living in the jungle is not easy. If jungle living is calling to you, I strongly suggest you browse my posts.

Life in Belize

My first visit to Belize was in 1997.  Later, I bought a house in the Community Baboon Sanctuary in 2003.  As of now, I live in Belize on a 42 acre farm in the village of Scotland Halfmoon.  Every day is an adventure and I do my best to document it along with lots of photography.

Belize – Flora and Fauna

On any given day, I come across creatures that I have never seen before, as well as creatures that I see on a regular basis.  Typically, one of two things happens: either my favorite photos get lost in the hundreds of photos I take on a monthly basis, or, after getting help with identifying an insect (for example), I have forgotten what it is six months later.  Therefore, this page helps me keep my best photos all together and serves as an easy reference for me to re-identify an unusual insect or creature that I have found again.

2019 – 2021 Bike Ride

On November 12, 2019, starting from St. John’s Newfoundland, I embarked on a journey, biking 12,340 kilometres across Canada during the 2019-20 Canadian winter and Covid-19.  After that, I continued south through the USA biking almost 8,000 kilometres along the Pacific Ocean and Southwest.  Then, upon entering Mexico at Mexicali, I biked another 6,000 kilometres south and across Mexico to Chetumal, arriving at my home in Belize on November 25, 2021.

Bike and Camping

Biking 26,000 kilometres gave me some insight to a few challenges and experiences about bike touring in general.

Personal Journaling and Reflections

This category is a work in progress, and at this point, I’m not sure what this will look like or where it’s going.  To be honest, the internal works of my mind is not a pretty sight.  In a addition, I also enjoy collecting quotes of wisdom and reflection, especially those that inspire better questions.  With that in mind, I hope to explore that here as well.

Poetry

For me, my poetry is largely an observation of an emotion and not a cry for help, as most people would assume; therefore, I rarely share my poems on social media anymore. I don’t need words of comfort because I simply wrote a poem.
