In this episode I pick up where I left off in the last episode after safely getting out of Nicaragua during the attempted Coup and into Honduras. Once I was safely in Honduras I could breath again and let out a huge sigh of relief and was free to continue on my solo journey back in to Mexico and onward to Mexico City to explore a friendship that had become romantic with Mexican Socialite Claudia Padilla who I had met on my first trip through Mexico City on my way south to Costa Rica.

After an afternoon showing my Moto some love (gave her a much needed and thorough cleaning) I felt inspired to talk about my 2013 Triumph Tiger Explorer 1200 that I took on my solo trip all the way from Toronto to Costa Rica and then back to California where she and I now reside.

All in all, we visited 9 Countries, 21 states and 6 Provinces!

Oh the stories she would tell if she could talk!

I hope this story inspires you, I hope it motivates to trust your intuition and I hope it inspires you to “Face Your Fear, Learn its Name and Love it out of YOU!!”

Much Love!
