Much has changed since my last post. I think I've grown a foot. Erin and I are no longer together. With that shock I decided that I could not longer pursue life in the States -- or in the very least needed a temporary break from the repetition of life in the small state.
I bought a one-way ticket to Bogota, Colombia without having any knowledge of Spanish or the culture I was about to jump into. (This should encourage anyone who wants to travel with only a backpack and some hiking boots.)
I'll have to post my pictures. In short, so far Colombia is brilliant. Although, I've only just started my travels. I plan on being gone for 5-6 months. The general thought is:
travel north from Bogota to Cartagena
spend 3 weeks with my two amigos, Zach and Jordan
fly to Quito
move south and meet Alex for 2 weeks
hit up the coast & attend a surf and language school
go south through Ecuador, taking the train -- wtf is the name?
see where I'm at and how much further I'm interested in going
Peru and Bolivia?
Keep you posted. Also, I'll edit this post, put up some pics and do a re-cap of Bogota and the finca in Alto Del Naranjo.
