Hay lobos aqui   What's up, everybody. Alright, it's starting to feel a little hot with all of these tropical tales! Let's take it back a little further. October 2017. This here – this was a damn good year. This was my last semester of college and I had no idea what the future would have in store, but things were looking good. Friends were good, school was too easy ( obviously – I graduated with a literature degree ), and I was feeling inspired. Travel has been a motivating factor in my life for a long time now. Hope you guys enjoy this one. October 2017 How this plan came to be is now a little fuzzy, but I'll tell you what I do know and you can piece the puzzle together yourself.

Qué onda amigos! So first things first, I haven't been on social media for quite some time and some of you are probably wondering, "Do you think that Caleb is dead yet?" And the answer to that question is, thankfully, "no." This blog isn't intended to fill in all the gaps, but rather hit some major points to allow me to share some of my stories with friends and family who care to listen. J-Trees be wack -- Cool pic by Dani    Now I understand that some people who may end up reading this blog haven't seen or heard from me since high school – maybe longer, who knows? So here's how things are looking as of October 2019: My name is Caleb and I am currently living in Barra De Navidad, Jalisco, Mexico. Things are really looking good in my life right now! I am currently unemployed ((by choice (don't worry, Mom, it'll be ok.)) I have a lot of mental, physical and spiritual goals for this year. But this blog probably won't get too deep; j...
