Now that I have a blog title...

It's mildly embarrassing to admit that I struggled to come up with a title for this blog for the better part of a week. Having settled on this masterpiece, I can finally get to the important business of introducing this blog and beginning to document my suddenly interesting life, at least for the next nine weeks.

For those who may have stumbled across this blog without a direct invitation, allow me a brief introduction of the author. I'm a 23 year old American, I just left my very boring desk job yesterday, and tomorrow night I'm leaving on a jet plane for Buenos Aires with a very good friend (for now), Dylan.

We will be traipsing around the South American continent - including stops in Argentina, Uruguay, Chile and Peru - looking for lost cities, pretty girls, and the meaning of life. If that all sounds a little cliche, that's because it is. But it's almost definitely better than what you're doing this summer.

GW Law School waits for me in August, and I hope to use this trip as a final chance to clear my mind before embracing the very demanding stage of my life that comes next.

As you might expect, this blog will be both a travel journal and a personal journal. I will endeavor to keep the material at least mildly interesting to those following along, but I hope you'll forgive me if I start to wander off now and then.

My next update will be from Argentina. If you're wondering, mi espanol esta mejorando, pero es basico todavia. Lo estudio desde Marzo con unas clases sobre mi iPhone. Espero que no me averguenze demasiado.
