Vacations Seem Impossible
It's been a year and I haven't had my own car. I know lots of people don't have a car and that should be no big deal, but I'm just not the same without my own car. I accepted that I couldn't afford it anymore. I'm old, on a fixed income, and I just don't have the spending money like I did way back when. Plus, I've never known anything about fixing cars, and they all break down at some point. It was driving me insane - literally. I would get so depressed. Though I am happier that I'm not spending a fortune on a car, I haven't gone anywhere in a year. Nowhere. The most exciting trip I've been on in a year is to the local Walmart. That's pretty pathetic to me, especially when I know that I suffer from Wanderlust. Oh yeah, I got bit by the Wanderlust bug big time back in 2018. I've always loved traveling, but when I got into Road Tripping, I fell in love with travel even more.

Americans Are Traveling Like Never Before in 2025 — Here’s Why
Something’s happening out there. Airports are packed, highways are jammed, and “sold out” signs hang at hotels from Miami to Maui. Americans are traveling like never before, and not just for the usual reasons. It feels bigger, more emotional. There’s a hunger to move, to escape, to make up for lost time.

The Whisper of the Cuckoos
For more than six years now, I’ve had the great privilege of visiting the beautiful mountain ranges of Córdoba — one of Argentina’s many stunning regions. Along winding roads, picturesque villages, and fresh mountain air, nature blends with history and the traditions of the hills. Every corner invites you to discover a different story.

Among Tin and Shared Dreams: Life in the "Conventillos" of La Boca
I was born in Buenos Aires, but I have been living in Turin, Italy, for six years. Today I can say, with my heart in my hand, that I know what it means to be an immigrant: the obstacles, the sadness, the joys… and, of course, the dreams that live in the soul.

Any Tampa Bay Area Parties for Halloween?
Oh oh! Only 13 more days until Halloween. I hear spooky music. The door just closed on its own. Etcetera. It's October and spook lovers are vibing to the monster mash and looking for festivities. Moms and Pops with the little ones are either throwing home parties or have already found a family-friendly place to gather and collect treats. Churches usually have a pumpkin patch or a trunk-or-treat thing going on. But I'm sure there's also a bunch of Tampons like me wondering what to do for Halloween. Should we go out there? Can we hide behind a costume and mask and have some fun for once in our boring old lives? Can we get some candy and relive just a bit of those fabulous glory days while we can still carry a plastic pumpkin? I think so. I hope so. I've got my costume ready just in case.
