I´m outta here

Did i mention i quit my job last week and in a frantic rush to pack all my things away and head for the road?

It´s home time, and i never thought i´d feel the urge but after 7 years of being on the road, on and off (cos even in melbourne i was transient, owned a bed and that was all)i´m looking forward to being in my slow, peaceful and boring hometown. It´s gotta be done. It seems that in the last year all the things that excited me about this life of mine have taken a back seat, aren´t tantalising me, aren´t filling me with purpose and new insights. And all those other things, that were always there but they just weren´t important to me, have come to the foreground, like dirty lonely roads, incomprehensible behaviour, unatainable goals, terrible beds, and the endless stream of housemates..

i´m coming home to roost, is all.

But before that, with a mate, I´m going to one of the most fabulous waterfalls in the world, Iguazu, then hop around the north of Argentina, cross into the desert of Chile - yes again, but very briefly - to then enter Peru, skip into a couple of places in Bolivia, hense my frantic race to get vaccinated today, visit a mate, then back into Peru, to Lima, visit a friend and then perhaps hooking up with another couple of mates from here and make it to Colombia, where i can find lots of mates i hope, and then if i find i´m really blessed, Rio de Janeiro. Then again, i may get pooped after the first leg and just come home.

I´m off in 3 days, here it goes!
