I met Onawa in 2014, it was early spring and the warm air inspired a nice long walk around the neighborhood with my big dog Ouroboros. We were almost home when we spotted a young girl with a stroller. We both curiously looked inside it and saw a batch of eight tiny puppies. Their eyes […]

Onawa’s Zagreb Addison’s Disease
We arrived in Zadar in June 2019, Onawa was tired and lethargic the first two days. I thought it might be overheating from the difference of temperature between Tara, Bosnia and the Croatian coast. I took her on a few walks, but she wasn’t herself. On the third day of being in Zadar she stopped […]
Meet Ouroboros
In February 2010 I was living in Hollywood Florida with my ferrets Baby and Lola. I had a meeting in Miramar with my business partner of the time. On my way home I saw a dog in the road, a big red dog. I got out and yelled at him to go home. He looked […]
Transfăgărășan
Try pronouncing that one! Trans [over, across] + Făgăraș the mountains) or Highway DN7C. This is a cool road! The paved mountain road starts off the main highway. It takes you gradually from wooded forests into a lake with an amazing dam and up and up as the roads switchback all the way up. Eventually […]
Relieved in Romania
I gathered my friend and mother for a road trip from Bulgaria to Romania over the summer of 2018. We took a small bus to Bucharest where we stayed for three nights. I wanted to organize our stay there for a break between the road trips. The plan was to go to Sibiu and the […]
Spring in Michigan
We arrived in Traverse City Michigan in April 2018. The drive from New York was long, but the food along the way made the ride easier. We had hoagies in western Pennsylvania, I tried my first pickled egg. I had no idea pickled eggs were good! In Ohio we had chicken fried potato wedges. We […]

In July 2018 we visited our friend Mike in Del Norte Colorado. A place we learned was our Apache heritage’s old home before they were pushed out by another tribe into New Mexico. We were driving west from Michigan on our way to Denver which made the stop to visit him for 4th of July […]
Route 66 to AZ
We didn’t plan to drive on Route 66, it’s just one of those things that just happens when you start a road trip. In June 2018 we left Michigan two weeks early due to the Airbnb having a water leaking problem and mold growing. We happily packed the van with all our stuff and headed […]
Grand Canyon and Monument Valley
My brother, mother and I left Sedona Arizona in June 2018, we then drove to the Grand Canyon, but before entering the famous national park we stopped at a memory from childhood. Flintstone Land is still outside of the Grand Canyon and dogs were allowed! Once entering the Grand Canyon National Park, we hung a […]
Key West
I’ve been told, everyone who ends up in Key West has an interesting story about how they moved there. Settling in Key West usually isn’t premeditated- it’s typically random. The same could be said for the expats in Belize; part of my attraction and most of my brother Ivan’s attraction to Key West is the […]
