The door where it began

"The road goes ever on and on down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the road has gone, and I must follow, if I can, pursuing it with eager feet, until it joins some larger way where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say."

~Bilbo Bagginsss

So I decided to take a break.

I´m 34 years old and it´s time to see the world..

Not easy at this age to put everything on hold for a while. It took weeks to organise the equipment and put (almost) everything in order with the different authorities and entities that are part of my adult life.

When I told everyone that I´m planning a 5-6 months backpacking trip in South America, I was surprised but the most common response was not "why?" but rather "I envy you..." but still, here is why:

1. because I want to

2. because I can

3. because the time is right

Now that "The Why" is behind us, and after a Business class flight to Lima, 2 days unplanned stay in Lima because the Airline company misplaced my friend's backpack (how typical...) I got on a bus to Huaraz where the adventure will begin..

First step out there and way...
