Travelling

I didn't initially plan on travelling, deciding instead to move to Vancouver three days after graduation to try living away from home. Absolutely hating Vancouver, I moved even further west with my first girlfriend, my high school sweetheart as it were, to Vancouver Island. It wasn't until we had found a place, and I had gotten a good job that I realized everything was happening too fast. I couldn't even legally drink but we were already looking at houses to buy. I panicked, bought a ticket to Peru and bailed. I quit my job, ended things with my less-than-impressed first love and met some friends from home who planned on backpacking across South America. It would be the first trip that wasn't a vacation to an all inclusive resort with my family. This was a four month adventure across an entire continent I had never been to before. There are a lot of mistakes we made and I learned a lot, both about myself and how to coexist with those around me. I would like to go back to most of the places I've travelled, mostly because I don't feel as though I've fully experienced them, or places I enjoyed so much that I could never visit enough. I've been robbed, ripped off, pick-pocketed, almost arrested, and resorted to sleeping in the street in no less than four countries. from seeing some of the most beautiful sights the world has to offer to attempting the "World's Hottest Curry" while experiencing altitude sickness and food poisoning. I'm nowhere near done travelling, and this travel blog is dedicated to both capturing my experiences and researching new unique experiences.
