... and so it begins

It is my last day in Santa Barbara. The move is bittersweet, but the sweetness overpowers the bitterness in the end. I am finally going to devote myself to the pursuit of my own personal legend and the desires of my own heart. I can only know if I am capable of living out this crazy life if I jump in head first with a one-way ticket to Santiago. Okay, there are other ways I could find out, but I have probably tried most of them. Now, car-less and (relatively) free of responsibilities, I head south in search of my soul amongst the volcanoes, lakes, and beaches of South America. Here we go!
