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.

El Santo

 
            My first night in Santa Marta some Australians invited me out to dinner to El Santo.  The acid tripping Irishmen recommended it, so I was hesitant at first to eat there.  However El Santo proved to be one of the best restaurants I have been to in my life.  An Argentine steakhouse in Colombia located a few blocks from the seafront in the old town.  A very simplistic menu but everything was amazing.  I ate here 5 days of the two weeks I was in Santa Marta.  A 450mg steak with mashed potatoes and ratatouille was only $12.  The meal I ate would easily be priced well over $40 if it were served in America.
