I just wrapped up my trip to Medellin, which was an absolutely amazing time! And, I’d have to say that Medellin has been my favorite city out of my entire trip!! With that said, I’m down to my last few days here in Colombia and I cannot put into words how much I love this country, and I'm already kicking around ideas in my head about moving here at some point down the road.
So I’m headed back to the US in a few days for approximately 2 weeks of much needed rest. I’ve been on the road for 5 months now with out any sort of a real place to call home and I’m pretty well spent. Believe it or not, traveling for an extended period of time is a lot harder than you think.
So, after spending the next 2 weeks recuperating in So Cal, I will be flying to Buenos Aires to spend a month or two eating steaks and drinking fine wine to round off my trip. It looks like, including my 2 week break, my total travel time will be estimated at around about 7 months, which I’d have to say have been absolutely fantastic so far!
Ok, so its time to say so long for now, and see you in Buenos Aires…
PS. I’ve posted a little farewell video to Colombia below which was recorded recently during on one of the many rum filled nights during my trip… Enjoy!
I am writing this not for the eyes of the many, but for yours alone: for each of us is audience enough for the other.

And so there is no reason for you to think that any man has lived long because he has grey hairs or wrinkles; he has not lived long—he has existed long.
The wiseman lacks nothing but needs a great number of things, wheras the fool, on the other hand, needs nothing but lacks everything.
- Chrysippus
"Look, one day I had gone to a little village. An old grandfather of ninety was busy planting an almond tree.'What, grandad!' I exclaimed. 'Planting an almond tree?' And he, bent as he was, turned around and said: 'My son, I carry on as if I should never die'. I replied: 'And I carry on as if I was going to die any minute....' Which of us was right boss?"
- From Zorba the Greek
I wasn't born for one particular corner: the whole world's my home country.

For in his mind our profits underwent marvellous transformations: they became travels, women and new adventures. He was waiting impatiently for the day when he would earn a fortune, when his wings would be sufficiently big- "wings" was the name he gave to money- for him to fly away.
