The Gringa Trail: What’s with the Brit’s Obsession with Tea?
http://thegringatrail.blogspot.com/2012/04/whats-with-brits-obsession-with-tea.html
The random life of a single female traveler. Sunday, April 8, 2012. What’s with the Brit’s Obsession with Tea? British rule over India left the Brits with two things; curries and Tea. There are more varieties and better tasting curries in England than there are in India now. As for tea, it is to English as wine is to the French. Their water, lifeline, their obsession. Over my travels I have seen the English cherish a cuppa in a foreign land and pine for a nice brew but I just didn’t get it. Hug in a mug.

The random life of a single female traveler. Thursday, October 22, 2009. The Hippie Wonderland on Isla Ometepe. Isla Ometepe is Central America frozen in time. What you thought you were going to find instead of bustling cities, chicken buses and tourist traps. This is the real thing. An island formed by two volcanoes, Concepcion and Maderas, in lago Nicaragua. Made possible to get to by boats from both Granada and Rivas. Posted by Tracy Gaudreau.

The Gringa Trail: She’s Gone Country: Boots and Hearts Music Festival, Ontario, Canada
http://thegringatrail.blogspot.com/2012/10/shes-gone-country-boots-and-hearts.html
The random life of a single female traveler. Wednesday, October 10, 2012. She’s Gone Country: Boots and Hearts Music Festival, Ontario, Canada. Yes, even still I was reluctant to attend. Did I really want to go back to my roots from whence I left? Did I really want to be surrounded by drunks singing about their tractors? In the end I agreed to go. Maybe it was the sparkle shining upon me from the organizers pearly whites or perhaps it was because I am used to being a tourist in other countries and fi...

The Gringa Trail: A real Backup
http://thegringatrail.blogspot.com/2012/04/real-backup.html
The random life of a single female traveler. Sunday, April 1, 2012. Perhaps the best back up plan isn. 8217;t a boy because as we all know if one lets you down then the next just might as well. The tried, tested and true back up; a friend. 8220;What are you talking about! You are probably thinking at the moment because my last blog posting was Feb 29. So I have you lost don’t I? Well in the case of a. Momentous occasion like a birthday I was glad my backup was a friend whom I met in Colombia. We met.

The Gringa Trail: Leaving on a Private Jet Plane
http://thegringatrail.blogspot.com/2012/05/leaving-on-private-jet-plane.html
The random life of a single female traveler. Sunday, May 13, 2012. Leaving on a Private Jet Plane. Many people who know me wonder how the heck I can stand to stay in Canada for so long. I returned to this country last March from Brazil, went on a six week trip to the UK in October/November but here I am still kicking around. Got itchy feet, they ask me. You have no idea. What I got is more than just itchy feet! Twilight Zone of Great Abaco Island. Well my pilot friend had another offer of a random trip&#...

The Gringa Trail: Out of the Mouths of Dads
http://thegringatrail.blogspot.com/2012/04/out-of-mouths-of-dads.html
The random life of a single female traveler. Monday, April 16, 2012. Out of the Mouths of Dads. The thing is I grew up thinking these sayings were normal. I think the point when you know you have grown up is when you realize the shit your Dad says is actually shit he has made up and well your family it quite odd. I finally decided to just do a “Shit my Dad says” posting. Below is the word or sayings and beside is his translation. These are his exact quotes….not mine. Rinky Dink: Old person. View my compl...

The random life of a single female traveler. Thursday, April 12, 2012. Jobs of a Traveler- What's your list?

The Gringa Trail: Leaving England: "Interested in everything, committed to nothing."
http://thegringatrail.blogspot.com/2012/04/leaving-england-interested-in.html
The random life of a single female traveler. Wednesday, April 11, 2012. Leaving England: "Interested in everything, committed to nothing.". I left England very similar to how I left it five years ago saying goodbye to a lover in a train station. Only this time no hearts were breaking. I came over on a whim and on a chance that perhaps something could have come out of a spark that started in Colombia. Perhaps all us travellers have what plagued the main character in the book Shantaram in common. Oaxaca Ti...

The Gringa Trail: Why Peru: The Conclusion
http://thegringatrail.blogspot.com/2010/02/why-peru-conclusion.html
The random life of a single female traveler. Tuesday, February 2, 2010. Why Peru: The Conclusion. I would now be able to fully answer that question of why Peru but it isn’t a simple answer. Well why not see one bigger in Peru, with hot springs, condors flying above and Oasis’s? Discover the highest lake in the world, Lake Titicaca with islands to hike on and floating reed islands to enjoy. I could literally go on forever about why you should go to Peru, the mountain climbing, rafting, rock climbing, anci...

The Gringa Trail: Working in Canada Over the Winter: Random with the Rednecks
http://thegringatrail.blogspot.com/2012/04/working-in-canada-over-winter-random.html
The random life of a single female traveler. Saturday, April 14, 2012. Working in Canada Over the Winter: Random with the Rednecks. Instead of working at a busy ski resort and perfecting my snowboarding skills in Canada I have been staring out from my parent’s basement at rain and temperatures in the pluses. This is partly a good thing because my poor thinned blood from 6 years of endless summer does not agree with the cold. My prospects weren’t looking so good. Ou my reader this shit is messed up! Subsc...
