I was heading north through Peru from Bolivia and had one day to catch my flight. There was a major protest south of Lima blocking the Pan American Highway and the only route into the city.

I began this indefinite travel hiatus 2 months ago in Mexico and have pushed down to Costa Rica thus far. Although I don’t have an actual budget, I do have a system. I don’t believe in strict budgeting because there are always so many unexpected surprises along the way that you will want to experience. [...]
In this latest chapter I found myself scouring the streets of Leon, Nicaragua trying to find a Santa costume to hand out presents to the local children.
