The world is a book and those who do not travel only read one page...

The countdown has reached zero, preparations are complete, and tomorrow evening I board a plane for Lima, Peru. I have left everyone I know and the majority of everything I own behind as I begin my search for my personal legend in the South of America. I hope to use this blog as a record of my travels, experiences, and a medium for keeping in touch with all my friends and loved ones, as visits to places with Internet access will hopefully be few and far between. Beginning tomorrow, Microsoft Outlook, the monthly gross, and daily grind will come to a halt, replaced with travel, adventure, excitement, and not knowing what to expect when I get off the next bus.... With love, Ian
