About this blog

Mission statement:

To document as accurately, and more often, quite in-accurately, (where the story needs a bit of extra spice), the dull, true, exciting, awkward, and hilarious. Stick around, things may get weird. This should be good...This is my planned year of continuous travel, covering a good deal of the Latin American continent. I will be stepping off first in Buenos Aires, Argentina. My only plans from here on in are loose, only bound by available funds and geographical proximity of each country.

My rough journey will take me from Argentina > Uruguay > Argentina > Brazil > Peru > Bolivia > Northern Chile > Northern Argentina > Bolivia > Peru > Ecuador > Colombia > Panama > Costa Rica > Nicaragua > Honduras > Belize > Guatemala > Mexico > Cuba > Mexico > L.A. > Home.

As I'm always open to being given money, and safe to say the following year will be no exception, I've made it quite easy for people to give me money should they feel the motivation to do so...up there in the right hand corner. I'm only half joking by the way...
