My first two stops were in Quito and the Galapagos. I'm in the Amazon now. This is the first time I've had internet the entire trip, so I'll update on those two locations once I upload the photos.
This story is about expats, coming from point A to B. I've met plenty this year. One was a Japanese guy who went for his MBA in Barcelona and ended up in an internship in Lima. Another was a girl who left New Jersey to travel even more than I am, and another Jersey girl went to Quito for school, and wants to move to Oman next. Another guy was born in Hong Kong, raised in Ireland, and lives in Lima now. Plenty of my friends in Japan and Korea are expats, most of them saying they feel they can better identify with Asian culture than in America.
I've found my reason. The idea of living on a whole planet for 70-100 or so years (let's hope), without fully understanding how big and diverse it is, even if there are plenty of things you may not like, is just painful. My story is to learn about as many walks of life as I can, to avoid narrowing myself to my own hometown bubble.
