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.

Uruguay









            Uruguay is an extremely small country.  Not very much to see, they are famous for there two beach resort cities but its winter time so I had no reason to go to see them.  There is cool graffiti spread out around Montevideo.  The nightlife is horrible here.  I really wish I could’ve have been there during summer to visit the beach cities.  I was able to see Montevideo in a day then I took the bus to Colonia.  Unable to get a later ferry to Buenos Aires I was forced to immediately leave after arriving in Colonia missing out on the cool architecture there.  Not to happy about that because I could have taken the ferry from Montevideo and already been in Buenos Aires instead of wasting 3 hours on a bus to a city I did not even get to see. Then taking the ferry from there; I basically wasted a day and probably like $10.
