"People don't take trips . . . trips take people".
John Steinbeck
"How beautiful it is to do nothing and then rest afterwards".
Spanish Proverb
There is no other way to say this, so I will just say how it is: I am back. Dramatic, huh? Well, I know that many people did not even think that I would be back anymore. But after exactly one year being in
I changed my RTW (Round the World) trip to RLA (Round Latin America) about half a year ago; I was intending to see it all. I have realized however that it was not possible, even a lifetime is not enough to see the entire LA wonderful world. But after a year being out there, spending my nights looking up the unfamiliar sky, walking the unknown streets, talking to “single serving” friends, eating strange food, I gradually grew tired.
Out of this 12 months I probably spent weeks, maybe months on buses and trains, boats and yachts, trucks and cars, planes and other means of transportations some of them were so bizzare, that there is no even a name for them in English. I slept in strange beds and floors, I slept on the ground and on the beach, on the rooftops and porches, and I slept in hummocks and on benches, plus countless hours in terminals and airports.
I have seen so much. I have learned a great deal. I have missed home. I have returned.
Thank you everybody for your support.
P.S. Hopefully will be posting my travel stories in this blog, now that I actually have time to write it… Don’t get any ideas - I said hopefully.

Молодец, красиво написал. Романтично так. Ты завёл себе акаунт на Одноклассниках? Я там кучу людей своих нашёл. На асю тебе скидывал дрянь всякую, я не знаю - ты пользуешься ей вообще.
Interesting. I am just starting my trip on Monday. Let's see how long I will last.
Hi,
My name is KC Owens, I’m a college student and I love to travel! While cruising the Internet, I found your site and really enjoyed reading your posts. I have been to countries all over Europe with just my backpack and a camera. Since I am a college student and I have significant bills, it can be difficult to find ways to travel the world. However, I have done this several times, with less than ten pounds of luggage and while on a college dime!
I was hoping that you would allow me to write a post for your site to share my tips and tricks with your readers. I put a lot of time into my traveling, it is my biggest passion and I would love to inspire others by sharing my stories, mistakes and triumphs. I look forward to hearing from you!
Best,
KC Owens
