About this blog

My last trip was from the Venezuelan rainforest to Antarctica to Carnaval in Rio. In the fall of 2006 I am readying myself for a Round The World "go with the flow" trip of indeterminate length in 2007. I never had a trip that I didn't like and hopefully this next big one also fits into that category.
