So.... here I am in Bariloche.... This is after 2 nights of flying from Alaska. A night of drunken sleep in Buenos Aires, and a quasi-sleepless night on the 20 hour bus ride to Bariloche which I didnīt sleep... Thanks Mom and Dad for the iPod... very sweet, but unfortunately I didnīt charge it while I was at the hostel and only had 2 iPod full hours of music before I had to watch movies on the bus... or read, which was what I mostly did... since movies like Biker BoyZ were not high on my list (sadly, I did watch about half of this movie).
I actually got here a few days ago, but I wasnīt up to making an update to my blog.... hopefully I will become more disciplined in this matter as I go along my journeys.

29 years old and already going through mid-life crisis.... or maybe just still trying to figure out what to do with my life. Which is it? Iīve worked for a big bad multi-national company for 4 years before deciding that I needed to do something different, for a change. Then I tried graduate school before deciding that it was for me.
So, what to do? Well, why not take that money that I earned while working for an extended trip to South America. My last assignment for work brought me to Ecuador for 2 months, so I figured I should check it out... and learn Spanish along the way. Well, I got stuck for a few months in Brazil due to romantic reasons and ended up studying Portugese instead. Well, after a while I got unstuck, so here I am... after some holidays back home in Alaska... still avoiding working for the man.
So, am I in early mid-life crisis?
