This weekend I took off on a last minute trip down to the deep south of Argentina called Patagonia and had some incredible encounters with some of Earth's rarest and most precious natural wonders! Here's a little what I experienced...

"Here I go. There's no turning back! My great adventure has begun!"
Thank you Sutton Foster and Little Women the musical for gracing my mental sound track right now. I feel incredible. Heart pounding, flutters in my stomach, tingling in my veins kind of incredible! I'm doing this! Saying piss off to the world and school and money and lets go get ourselves broke exploring frozen natureland all by ourselves with no one tagging along, holding us down, or helping us out. I'm sitting in this tiny Aerolineas Argentinos plane about to leave BsAs with $200 in my bank account and a carryon of stuff. I just love this anticipatory feeling... like knowing I'm on the verge of something unknown and feeling so empowered, so monumental that my own daring to stand on this edge overrides whatever fear I feel looking over it. I think that's the rush I'll miss when I go back home. But the perspective I'll have gained and the courage! What can't I do after Argentina? I have no excuse to ever be afraid or doubt myself ever again. That's the feeling of travel that I just can't adequately communicate, that I wish for people back home to know.
