The Genius Speaks

And by "genius," I do mean the one, the only, Tanya.  She has been sharing super useful links with me left and right.  So without further ado, here are her words.

"This link is probably the best link!  It tells you everything you need to know by country, you can look up the travel alerts/warnings to certain countries and why, you can look up visa info, it has vaccination requirements, and all sorts of other good stuff.  The tabs across the top are great... I wish I found this link sooner."

"This is a good website for Visa information and Embassy information for traveling to random countries."

 On this site, you can "compare and buy travel insurance based on your need."  Do not go without travel insurance.  Let me say that again.

DO NOT GO WITHOUT TRAVEL INSURANCE.

In other news, I still don't know Spanish.  But I am training for a half-marathon.  For three reasons.

• One, a friend and I decided to do this last August.  So I have to.
• B, I need to be ready for all the hiking and biking and physical exertion on the trip, most notably Huayna Picchu.
• Third, I want to be healthy and fit.
• Lastly, Tanya bought us a treadmill.

Happy trails, readers!  Make every day an adventure. :)
