My 10 Best Destination Articles of 2018

The year 2018 marked a milestone in my ongoing solo, nomadic world travels: As of May, 2018, I’ve been on the road for 20 years! Yeeha!

In 2018 I finished up my extensive adventures around Latin America. In total, I spent three years exploring Central America, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Cuba, starting in November, 2015.

In 2018 I ended up traveling even slower than usual, due to my huge hotel assignment reviewing over 100 luxury and boutique hotels. The first half of 2018 I spent visiting and writing about all those hotels in Costa Rica and Panama.

When I finally got out of Central America, I made a short visit to Arizona for an important family birthday party then traveled down through Mexico’s northwestern states of Sonora, Sinaloa, Chihuahua and Durango. From there I headed east to Mexico City, re-visiting two of my favorite cities along the way.

I spent October in Cuba then returned to the US to make sure I voted in the important midterm elections. I spent the end of the year and major holidays with family, while preparing for my travels in 2019.

As usual, I wrote regular destination pieces and travel tip articles about the many places I visited in 2018. I also wrote a couple posts about 20 years of world travels.

The following 10 posts are what I consider to be my most informative, interesting and useful articles of the year.

If you missed any of them and want to learn more about Costa Rica, Panama, western Mexico, Cuba or the world at large, now’s your chance to find out what I discovered during my nomadic travels in 2018. Maybe they will help you plan your own trips to the region.
