    Hi, I’m Kim Dixon Perez.

    I’m a freelance writer based in Southern California.

     

    On top of a train in Ecuador (2003)

     

    But enough of the official, let’s get to the fun:

    • Earliest travel memories:  camping with my family (once a month, every month, throughout my entire childhood)
    • Favorite camp spot as a kid:  Dinkey Creek (in the Sierra National Forest)
    • First career ambition:  truck driver (because they get to travel)
    • Longest time en route to one destination:  35 hours (California to Malawi)
    • Longest period of continuous wandering:  8 months (Mexico, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Ecuador)
    • Dumbest move:  knowingly running toward quicksand
    • Most predictable outcome:  sinking in quicksand (up to my waist)
    • Most trouble accessing cash abroad:  Nicaragua
    • Moment of whitest knuckles:  driving from Oaxaca to Puerto Escondido on a serpentine, cliff-clinging road
    • Most unexpected play date:  a two-hour encounter with a family of wild monkeys in the Ecuadorian jungle
    • Moment of highest anxiety on the road:  realizing I was in the path of a pack of wild dogs in Malawi, after deciding to forgo the rabies shot (thank you, baboons, for distracting them)
    • Times my luggage has been lost (but always found):  3
    • Favorite travel book:  “Vagabonding” by Rolf Potts
    • Other favorite travel book:  “A Walk in the Woods” by Bill Bryson

    Now tell me some of YOUR superlatives. Please share!

            I do not even know how I ended up right here, but I assumed this post used to be good.
            I don’t recognize who you’re however definitely you are going to a well-known blogger if you are not already.

            Cheers!

                                                Efficient, expansive travel requires less, not more. One bag that serves multiple functions. A sarong that's also a towel, blanket or sheet. Clothing layers that pack small and carry light. A daypack with one-reach access to essentials. A pocket for my Chapstick.

                                                can make me feel encumbered and anxious. But the lighter I travel the more liberated I feel (as long as my Chapstick and water bottle are within reach).

                                                "Less" requires planning. For me, honing the art of traveling light is a journey unto itself. And I STILL haven't found the perfect travel bag.
