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.

Later Cartagena


          Two weeks in Cartagena was long enough for me.  I could not handle the humidity any longer.  I also had done and seen everything after 3 days.  I did two weeks of Spanish school at Babel Language Institute, by far best lessons I had received.  I thought about staying longer in Cartagena but decided I needed to see more of Colombia before I flew south to Uruguay.  So I hopped on the shuttle and set off for the cheaper and less humid coastal town of Santa Marta.
