Laughing At Myself

A big thank you to Ken, whose comment on my last Blog entry brought me right back down to earth. For those of you reading this, I´d just like to acknowledge publicly that although this trip sounds super romantic and fun it had often been quite difficult. Anyone who has traveled for a long period of time knows that there are good days and bad days.

There have been moments where I feel like I am having the perfect trip- I picture a movie camera panning out as I stare out of a bus window or hike through the picturesque Andes. How romantico. But there are also plenty of moments where I feel frustrated and miss home because people don´t understand me, or I can´t change money for whatever reason, or I´ve gotten stuck in a crappy hostel with heaps of annoying foreigners...

Overall, things are wonderful and I am learning a lot which I will try and continue to record here. The challenge is not expecting too much and keeping it real :)
