So I'm sitting in the Toronto airport killing time before my flight to Lima. Since I am travelling again people have asked if was going to do a journal or send out e-mails and I thought, "hey is that live journal account still active". And so it is. It might take me a bit to refresh the memory on how this works and of course review the posts I made ( Read more... )

For those of you have not travelled or spent some time in a foreign country, my relationship with fellow countrymen might be a bit difficult to understand. In South Am. gringos are tourists who are not from S.A. its more like a nick name in general. Now because I am from Can. I too fit into this category, but I have also been living here for 3 ( Read more... )

I have some how ended up on a island, or perhaps a continent where the people are so used to conflict it is the only thing they know. I was doing a good job of staying out of this, but now I'm thrown into a situation that I have no choice but to deal with. How do you know which people you can trust??? In general this is a difficult thing to judge, ( Read more... )

So it's been about a month since I've had time to actually sit in front of my laptop and update this journal. Sorry. So the question now is where to start ( Read more... )

Last week was my first week working at the Programa de Salude Williche. Which is a health centre run by the Indigenous community. The program offers about 5 different forms of treatment, from medical doctors, aromatherapy, natural medicines and reiki. The people who work there are really nice and the centre is built on ancestral grounds, or land ( Read more... )

Another weekend of exploring has passed here in Chiloé. “We make some party tonight”, was the question put to me, but of course. I picked up an excellent bottle of Cab. Saug. from a local store which cost me a whole 8$ can. ahhh Chile! My flatmates had their picso but as previously mentioned I need to into introduce this slowly. The disco itself ( Read more... )

So this is Castro! The town I live in is around the same size as Sydney and very quaint. The country side is loaded with small fishing villages, cows and oddly enough Dandylions, Daisys and Buttercups. I moved to the other end of the world and see almost the same scenery. I know this Island is a bit more diverse in it’s geography than home, I just ( Read more... )

After a very, very, very long flight I finally arrived in San. on the 1st of Jan. That's right my new year started in Chile. For those of you who wondered, they did serve free Champagne on the plane and there was very few people on it. Since I had spent many a gross hour in airports that day (not a big fan of JFK) I wasn't exactly in the festive ( Read more... )

I feel that I'm starting this journal at a point in time where I am in the middle of a journey, so I need to do a bit of back tracking. Graduation May 2006, an interesting time, four years of work equals 3 sec. on the stage. Congrats, here yah go, and keep on walking! Fortunately enough I was able to attend a grad party that lasted the rest of the ( Read more... )
