Santa-Thelma Ranch
2008-03-19 » To those of you who actually read this blog, I'm sorry for having so completely dropped the ball. I'm going to try to do all of this in one more entry, from where we left off to being towed across the finish line, so bear with me. The night of my [...]
Fingering Chile
2008-01-21 » I get to use that crass title because that´s what they call hitch hiking here, "a dedo." So, I fingered Chile, I fingered Chile so good. I left the farm in El Bolson on the 15th and, instead of simply taking a bus South to Gobernador Gregores, decided to try [...]
Buenos Aires
2007-12-31 » Greetings from Buenos Aires, ¨the Paris of the South.¨ This city is a beautiful fusion of European tastes and architecture with latin culture. The streets are always packed with beautiful, European looking people but the night never really begins until 2am. Literally, bars will remain almost empty until that hour [...]
Epic Andes Trek part 2
2007-12-20 » So, we´re piled into the back of Cherubia´s sister´s pickup truck, straddling plantanes and backpacks.

Dawson, Permethius Dawson
2007-11-17 » Last weekend I rented a bike and rode out to a little farm along a river in the jungle near Canoa (the beach town where I can be found most weekends). The bike was a piece of shit with a seat that felt like steel but I made it there. [...]
Flaming balls of Death
2007-11-10 » I am now learning to both surf and fire dance ("poi"). Both are frustrating and painful but I´m determined to figure them out. I bought my surfboard on Friday, I´m essentially renting a really quality (but small and therefore hard to learn on) board and bag for $50 for a [...]
Reforestation and Surfing
2007-11-04 » I stood on my surfboard. Not on the land but while being pushed to shore by a huge wave. That´s right, after what seemed like hours of being thrown around by the waves like a rag doll and fighting to get back out behind them, I not only caught one [...]
Peru to Ecuador and back to square 1
2007-10-23 » On Tuesday the 17th I left Puerto Maldonado and started the epic journey to Quito. It consisted of 4 busses and over 80 hrs. on them... Puerto Maldonado to Cusco: Our bus broke down...4 times. The 3rd time, at about 2 in the morning in the middle of nowhere we screeched [...]
Puerto Maldonado
2007-10-13 » Hello friends, here's an update that, given my lack of traveling, will be brief. The past 2 weeks I've been living with the old Spanish couple, Pepe and Therese, and their 14 year old son Sergi. Life there is somewhat hard but wholesome, sweat filled but happy. In my time there, [...]
