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.

Pit Stop Hostel Medellin









                 If you come you may get stuck.  Pool parties, Irish bar, movie room, Pit Stop Hostel is one non-stop party.  Located 10 min walk from Parque Lleras/Zona Rosa you are right in the nightlife zone.  Clean bathrooms, great atmosphere and crowd.  There are volleyball and basketball courts as well as steam room.  This hostel holds up to around 60 guests and was at close to capacity the whole time.  Always something going on or people interacting met a lot of people who planned for 3-4 days and had been there 2 weeks.  The wireless here is a little shotty and goes out a lot and it cost to use their computers.  They have a large book of things to do around Medellin and weekend trips as well as a to go order menu if you don’t feel like leaving the hostel.
