Floating Market in Bangkok, Thailand 🇹🇭

I went on a boat through one of the floating markets in Bangkok. It reminds me of a farmer’s market, but with stores on and alongside the river. As you ride through the river, you can buy stuff off of other moving boats or storefronts facing the river. If for whatever reason I ever live in Thailand, then my plan will be to put an ice cream shop on a boat. I think the community would like it.

Day 1 in Bangkok, Thailand 🇹🇭

As my sabbatical is about to begin to start to come to a spot that is getting closer to the ending, it’s not lost on me what a blessing it is that I’ve had the opportunity to experience this special chapter of life. I’m grateful for all 17 of you who have allowed me to take you out to the Camino, as well as everyone who follows along on FB & Instagram and shows the page love. Also, I’m very grateful for my friends and family who support and encourage me to pursue WOTW. One of my best mates ( ) once mentioned to me that in the U.S.A, he feels that people are more likely to chase their dreams compared to his home country of Spain. Not that there aren’t plenty of Spanish people who will go chase their dreams, but he says to me that they are more risk-adverse or fearful of how the public may perceive them. Although When On The Way has never been a full time gig, Ive never felt anything but love and support in my mission of sharing travel with others. I appreciate everyone who encourages or supports me in any way. Even in the small ways. There was alot going on while I was on the motorcycle, but travel has always been a medicine for me in a way. Having this opportunity to take time to go and experience the world has been special in more ways than I can count. I’ve been able to add this chapter that has allowed me to slow things down, experience different parts of the world, and think about what I truly want to accomplish in the future. Without When On The Way, and those of you have supported me. This chapter wouldn’t have existed. So, thank you very much. I look forward to returning to the USA in the next few weeks. I’ll be excited to share what my plans are for 2026 soon, but until then I’ll continue to share my travels.

Thank you 🫶🏻

These videos are some of my favorite footage I captured at Chobe national park of the wildlife in the park. It’s tough to see, but in the 9th video there are lions on the shore.

Zip Lining over Victoria Falls 🇿🇼🇿🇲

We had a really close encounter with an elephant today. Definitely a little too close. I’m roadtripping through Botswana, as we were driving along the highway of Chobe National Park we saw this guy. I pulled the car over to him, and he seemed pretty calm. Until we got too close. I learned my lesson!

I left Namibia about a week ago, but here were some of my other favorites from my time in Windhoek & Swakopmund. I was very grateful that two British families had “adopted” me for the trip. It made my travel feel as if I was at home in a way. We went 4-wheeling in the Namibian desert, and we went sledding down the dunes. As I continue to travel, there’s this really tough mix of wanting to see new places, while going back to enjoy places you’ve already been to. The Camino is a great example. I absolutely love the Camino, and I hope it’s something I can do several more times. But, it’s really neat to go and see new places as well. I didn’t know what to expect out of Namibia, but it’s been one of my favorite places I’ve ever been. I really hope I will return back and hopefully soon.

Buen Camino

I have now moved from the lodge to Swakopmund, Namibia on the coast for the roller hockey Africa cup. I wanted to show more of the lodge though so here’s some drone footage of the lodge with the wildlife I posted in the last post. It will give you a good idea of what the environment is like here. I didn’t take these shots, but I thought they were really neat. Also, I wanted to talk more about the safari. It has surprised me how safe the bush seems in the part of Namibia near Windhoek. When you drive down the highway, you’ll see people just walking through the bush or making fires on the side of the road. Despite this next comment, there are plenty of dangerous animals in parts of Namibia. I would proceed with a lot of caution if you go. There seems to be not as many predators as I thought there would be where we were at in this region of Namibia. Besides seeing the Giraffes, Zebras, & Lions, there were springbok, kudus, jackals, warthogs, baboons, wildebeest, ostriches, and a few other species. The main predator on the lodge is one leopard that patrols the area. It made me a little nervous to leave my cabin to walk to the bathroom at night. The animals seem to have a unique relationship with humans. If I were an animal, I would attack humans. Physically the human is so much weaker than these animals. However, the animals show a lot of respect to humans. I’m guessing it’s a technology thing. It’s a very interesting dynamic. The giraffes are the only animal on the safari that do not dash off when they see us or hear the car. We got very lucky, because normally the largest group of giraffes they see are six giraffes, and we counted 17 in one group. Also, the Rhinos are fed by the lodge workers, which makes them friendlier than most rhinos. I would not recommend going up to a normal rhino. It’s very dangerous. You could see in the photo with the rhinos that their horns were cut off. In 2019, poaching was at an all time high, so to discourage poachers they would cut the horns off. This may not be true, but I was told if someone poached on your property in Namibia you can kill them. It’s not murder or criminal at all, which would also keep poachers away.

Safari in Namibia! I am currently about 10 miles from the capital city of Windhoek in one of the most bare countries in the world when it comes to people. I hope you enjoy the pictures and videos 🫶🏻

Switzerland 🇨🇭

Switzerland has been one of my favorite countries I have been able to travel to ever. We spent time in Lucern area & Sion area mostly. We went to Mt. Rigi & the largest dam in the world made by hand (285 meters deep). It’s the perfect place to go if you love the mountains. But, Switzerland was also by far the most expensive country I’ve been to as well.
