Bill Carmody shares a deeply personal spiritual experience while in Machu Picchu. Sometimes prayers are answered in the most mysterious ways.

Bill Carmody begins his three day adventure to Machu Picchu. Why three days? That’s how the Peruvian government prefers it for maximum tourist revenue in the town of Machu Picchu.

First day in Cusco, Peru, and Bill Carmody went from exploring Saqsaywaman (a national park) to horseback riding while exploring nearby ruins. Not bad for day one in Peru.

Bill Carmody receives a personal training lesson from master Pilates teacher, Adriana Montoya, who methodically trains on a reform machine. Bill says goodbye to his new friends from Bogota.

Bill Carmody writes and receives a letter of love on the same day. Coincidence? Not likely. The universe has a way of balancing the scales. You get out (more than) what you put in. That’s been my experience.

Santiago Bravo introduced Bill Carmody to Biodanza conceptually, and today I had my first official class. It was a new and surreal experience with my bilingual teacher, Leticia Ospina. I really enjoyed this kind of experience and am grateful to share what it was like.

Bill Carmody meets up with new friends from Connecticut in a Metro Gondola while traveling to Medellín’s most famous Cloud Forest, Parque Arvi.

I mean it’s 740 steps up and another 740 steps down. When it’s not crowded (like this morning at 9:30am), it takes about 15 minutes. But with crowds, well it can take a lot longer. Either way, the view is totally worth it. Spectacularly so.

Felipe welcomes Bill Carmody to his gorgeous home and gives him a spectacular tour of this part of Colombia including the flower growers next door.

From Monserrate, you get a bird’s eye view of Bogota, Colombia. Felipe and Bill Carmody explore this site together to get a full picture of all that Bogota is today.

Bill Carmody explores the Museo de Oro — Bogota’s Gold Museum — and enjoys the deep dive into this cultural heritage exploration.

Bill Carmody finally meets Gina and John. Gina is Claudia Barbey’s cousin and both she and Scott Barbey urged me to meet up with Gina when planning my trip to Bogota, Colombia.

Santiago Bravo is one in five-hundred million. He was first told this by his doctor when discussing a rare medical condition. Perhaps he’s starting to truly get just how special it really is. I certainly know this.

Bill Carmody, guided by Felipe Uribe Papa Susie, visits two cultural icons in Bogota: (1) The Salt Cathedral, and (2) Andres Carne de Res. Yum to both.

As Will and Bill Carmody exit Mexico, Bill reflects on his time with his son, Will, and feeling grateful to have only been scammed twice during his 2.5 week stay.

For Will’s last day on this world tour, Bill Carmody joins for a full day adventure at Xplor; a sort of Cancun Disneyland with ziplines and cenotes.

Fun and bizarre scuba dive. Or were we actually underwater models helping to promote Cancun? Who can say? Will and Bill Carmody explore the strange coral reefs being developed in Cancun, Mexico and our dive master is all about the photos and video.

Cheaper to vacation in Cancun, Mexico than pay for proactive healthcare in the United States. Here’s what I did and how I save more than $6,000 in pharmaceutical medical bills.
