I made the decision yesterday to do the trip to Argentina and Chile I have been planning for the past six months. I was very close to backing out and not doing it and after a phone conversation with my dad I almost believed I made a bad choice. I chose to go, come December 1st and by doing so I chose to pass on an offer to work for a great company in a new position. A position that I would excel at.
But the reason I chose to do what I am doing is because I have my whole life to work. Right now I want to explore while I have the chance. I want to be with people who are different and I don't understand. And I don't want to figure them out, I want to just be and react and have fun. I don't want to worry about a deadline. I can't remember the last time I didn't have a deadline decided by someone else for me. I had a deadline in 1st grade when Ms. Falls gave out my first book report assignment and I have had an assignment ever since.
I am going to have six months where I can do anything I want, it's up to me. And it's going to be incredible, its going to hard, because with unlimited freedom comes much personal responsibility. It's going to be completely unknown and I am scared and excited at the same time.
Think what you want about it. But I don't care. It might not be the smart decision, but its the decision I won't regret. I'm not looking for a paved road. I'm looking to make my own.
Here's the link to the Ranch I will be staying at from December 8th - March 2nd

And if anyone has any suggestions or tips for traveling let me know! I'm new to this so the more I can know the better.
