17. Rely on others. Without them, you wouldn’t be able to achieve all that you have until now. Don’t be foolish enough to think you are better alone. We live in such an individualistic society that it’s easy to take credit for most of our achievements or at the very least show a strong desireContinue reading “17 Days”

18. Be the best version of yourself. People will notice and you may even inspire others to do the same without words. I’ve been very fortunate in this aspect, I’ve had so much glowing support during this trip from loved ones back home and also from people I’ve met throughout. You never know when youContinue reading “18 Days”

19. Be uncomfortable. When you find out what your greatest weaknesses are, you will discover your truest strengths. You only need the courage to see yourself in the mirror. At one point, I was thinking to do a walk on the edge of a platform atop a skyscraper as an excursion. I was nervous butContinue reading “19 Days”

20. Trust your judgment. More often than not, you are smarter than you look. On the first flight of this trip, me and my friend asked about where we needed to pick up our bags. They told us in our final destination, Cusco. But questioning this advice we decided to check in the Lima airportContinue reading “20 Days”

Eventually it will pay off, either as a lesson or a memorable moment. I would use this trip as the example. I was scared atContinue reading “23 Days”

24. Patience is key. The right opportunity or thing may not come right now. But if you make the most of what you have and trust that what you really need will come to you when the time is right, pleasant surprises will abound. This could not be more true in situations both large andContinue reading “24 Days”

125 days down, 25 days to go. Oh what a magical time! My first 4 months have been something of whirlwind of adrenaline and running from one amazing place to the next. Don’t get me wrong, I stopped to smell the roses PLENTY of times. Just ask many of the tours I went on whereContinue reading “25 Days”
A New World: Argentina
Colombia was a wonderous place but I was now on my way to Argentina. Flying from Cartagena through Bogota to Buenos Aires, I felt a bit uneasy. I had become so comfortable in Colombia and with Vanessa that even though it would only be 1 night on my own I immediately became fearful. I wasn’tContinue reading “A New World: Argentina”
