Walking the Earth Alone… And So It Begins!

Almost 6 years ago I started this blog to add humor to the online travel writing community. Unfortunately, due to my wifes illness, I didn’t get to travel as much as I was hoping for. So today, I am re-starting my travel goals. Quite possibly, if it’s Sunday morning when you read this,  I’m boarding a flight to Mexico.

I’m looking to move to another country. Previously I had a job that had a fair amount of travel and I got to see some of the world and I loved it. I’ve spent 99% of my 60 years on this planet in the United States and  I’ve never lived outside of  upstate New York, which can be beautiful at times, but it can also be a cold, frozen tundra in the winters.

I’ve chosen Mexico as my first look-see trip because it is close to the United States and if I lived there it would allow me to easily visit my kids that live in the States. I’m going to tell you something that I haven’t told anyone yet. I’m a little terrified about my Mexico trip. I’m going alone and I’m not staying in a resort. I want to see what it’s like to live in Mexico, so I rented two AirBnb’s. Four nights in each in different parts of Mexico.

Cozumel will be my first stop. Cozumel is an island renowned for its stunning coral reefs, world-class diving and snorkeling, and beautiful white-sand beaches. Visitors can also explore Mayan ruins, and , indulge in authentic cuisine, and enjoy a lively atmosphere. 

I would wager a guess that most of you don’t remember the launch of my travel blog. On the first day of Philliver’s Travels, I interviewed Bel Woodhouse, a photographer and writer for International Living, an online magazine that helps people decide where else in the world that they might want to live.

That’s Bel there and she’s going to take some time to show me around the island this coming week, for which I’m trememdously grateful. You can read my first interview with her HERE. I’ll try to write this week but I can’t promise how often. Follow me on Instagram at Phillivers_Travels to see what I’m doing this week! C’mon, follow me. I don’t want to walk the Earth alone, I want you to come with me!
