Hello from lockdown! I’ve been dealing with a rather strict lockdown for the last 2 months. I basically spend my time doing my online jobs, trying to make my step count, and promising to work on new skills but ending up watching 90-day fiance instead.

Yondering Yangon
Hey fellow cadets! As I mentioned in the last post, I can’t travel! I am also exhausted in putting my two cents forth in global events, So I am going to reflect on some travel from the past. I’ve been craving an Asian trip for the last couple of weeks, so here is a piece…
The cadet’s two cents on Artsakh / Karabakh
Covid has taken a monopoly on global issues. The western world is too preoccupied with the neverending US election.

Autonomous region hopping: Gagauzia
Facebook memories during this particular time can be a bit torturesome. I know this is unfair to those that are undergoing real torture. But to someone used to being able to go where they please for the last decade and find themselves with their wings clipped in their hometown when all is going wrong in…
The space cadet is back in the south!
After cross-examining every scenario and situation that was possible, I ended up getting on one of those state department flights offered a week or so later than the first batch. I had to sign a promissory note to the state department that I would pay them back. It was only a better idea in the…
Ways to help Guatemala’s tourism industry in the time of the coronavirus
Hola! Well, it looks like I was not successful in getting out this week. I am just going to hold off now to see what happens. I feel I have elaborated enough about my problems and have neglected to speak about a significant problem Guatemala is going to face during this pandemic. Yes, the pandemic…
Should I stay, or should I go?
Well, not much progress has been made, I am still in my lovely apartment, but I am really agonizing about that is the best solution for me. It has not been easy. I have been very torn about what to do and how to make this decision despite being well versed in risk analysis. I…
