Two weeks, two countries, and one million feelings

When I was in the UK, I envisaged that in South America I would have so much TIME. I would be rolling around in it. The days would be slow. I would write, ponder my existence (only half joking) and plan my route.

How wrong I was! I have so many blog posts I would like to write, I just haven’t found the time. My time is basically split between sight-seeing, travelling to a new place and sleeping. It’s all really very tiring you see! I haven’t read my book in days, because I crash as soon as my head hits the pillow at night. I am still learning to carve out the time to do important stuff like book my accommodation and bus journeys, let alone time to write everything down and take it all in. It’s a full time job, I need an assistant! (Too far?)

Pre-departure thoughts

It’s Christmas Eve and two days until my big adventure. I am sitting in the UK with my second family as I write, having eaten loads of chocolate (already) and watched loads of Christmas TV. It’s the first time I’ve stopped in weeks and I feel so.tired. I’m currently the youngest person in this house, and was asleep in front of the telly at 9pm last night….

Between finishing up work, seeing my friends and prepping for my trip, I haven’t really had a moment to stop and take it all in. So this is where I launch the Travel Blog I keep talking about, and put all my #feelings in one place.
