My name is Carlos; I am a 24 year old third year law student. I caught the travel bug when I was 20 years old and sailed around the world on the MV Explorer from Jan. 2008 to May 2008. It was the most amazing experience of my life. I learned a lot about myself along the journey, I don't know if I would have the passion for travel I do now if it was not for that experience. Ever since I can’t get enough, going so many places I would've never even dreamed just a few years ago when I was complacently trapped in my American bubble. In what is presumably my last summer of freedom before I become imprisoned by corporate America, I am embarking on a journey through South America. Mostly to become fluent in a language I should’ve been taught a long time ago as a child being half Puerto Rican, but also to see, learn, explore and grow in a way only possible through travel.

Brown Cheese Just Aint Right


Chocolate con queso is a traditional Colombian drink.  Consisting of hot cocoa and bite sized blocks of cheese.  You drop the pieces of cheese into the cocoa then scoop them out and eat them with a spoon.  Needless to say I always try the local cuisine and drink whenever I am in a country but it should have been clear that cheese and hot cocoa don’t mix.   At least I was brave enough to try it, all the other people at my Spanish school refused except for Andres the Korean.  The teacher laughed at me after I made a sour face at the after taste of chocolate cheese.   Yea, definitely won’t be attempting that again.
