Hello and Welcome to my first post,

I am as most of you will know taking on the trip of a lifetime around South America. My trip starts on the 24th October when i fly into Buenos Aires, Argentina. My return ticket from Buenos Aires is in 8 months time so what happens in the middle is yet to be decided.

As i sit here on my friends sofa in Toronto (which has been my bed for the last few days) I am filled with excitement and trepidation. The tickets were bought a long time ago and with it all happening in just a couple days the reality of this is starting to shine through.
