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.

I miss too many flights

            Stupid me decided to have my flight booked out of Cartagena to Bogota, which is 3.5 hour shuttle ride from Santa Marta where I was.  The flight was at 5 pm but all the shuttles were booked till 1230, which would’ve left me probably missing my flight.  So luckily “Shakira” my nickname for the front desk girl told me you were allowed to actually cancel your flight and get a credit.  It only cost $30 to cancel/change the flight to 5 days later thus giving me more time with my new found family and extra days of summer instead of my original plan to have my 5 last days in Bogota which is cold year round due to the elevation.
