Love the the update! Hiking and touring wine country... not a bad way to spend the holidays. The writing is great too, love hearing your inner commentary throughout your travels. For the record, I'm still not convinced you're only 24 ;)
Stay safe and continue focusing on the positives of your journey. As I like to say say, bad decisions make great stories. Terrible times also make great stories. Can't wait to hear more.
How exactly do you think you’ll determine when it’s time to leave a place? Do you have a general road map that you want to follow or just going with the flow?
I think that was one of the only things I didn't like about studying abroad in Spain was that dinner was from 8 to 10 so I had to wait until that time for a host family cooked meal :(
Hard to believe that even with the J-term in Mendoza I never tried Maté!
Maybe young Argentine romantic lives is determined by the dream of moving abroad eventually. I see inflation can even have romantic life impacts!
Hope you keep enjoying your travels! I like pairing travels with others best by visiting the city they are based in that way there is greater in a way freedom to decide the specific shared activities I'm most interested in participating in with them there!
A great question! I'm still learning the right balance of planning and flexibility to feel like I'm experiencing as much as I can/want to from each place without leaving too soon or staying longer than needed. For instance, because I planned to reunite with Hannah and Malte in Mendoza, I definitely did not spend as much time in the far north of Argentina as it deserved. On the flip side, there are a couple cities I spent more time in than I needed to because I didn't really have a clear path beyond it. So it's a challenge!
As far as a general road map, I believe I will be in South America until July, so I am slowly but surely heading north. Beyond that, I have no plan! That means I won't cross paths with you if you are in Colombia in January, but I would love to find a way meet up another time!
