Almost on my way...

Hey there!

If you're reading this now, you have successfully reached the blog of Maya's adventures in South America. I'm still in New York, but I leave on Friday to head down to Buenos Aires, Argentina, and then on the 10th I fly down to Patagonia. Now some of you may be thinking, "hey- wasn't she supposed to be on her way to Sydney?" You're right, but not updated as to what I am doing with myself. In a surprise turn of events, I decided during finals week to forget about Sydney and instead take the semester off to travel South America with my friend from Israel and a few of his friends. They're going on their after-army trip, and I'm tagging along on my instead-of-army trip. This promises to be the adventure of all adventures.

Our itinerary is very wishy-washy right now, but it may or may not go something like this. We are flying down to Patagonia next week (as I already said), and then we'll hike north through Argentina and Chile. Eventually we'll make our way to Buenos Aires and the rest of northern Argentina, and then I imagine we'll go to Brazil for some time and then some other countries. Vague, I know, but it's the best I can do right now. My flight is currently home from Lima in mid-May, but who really knows how long that will remain the plan. So stay updated.

I should be writing in the blog whenever we find some internet, so keep checking it on a semi-regular basis. If I were you, I might very easily forget about it, which is why I was hesitating to blog at all. So in order to avoid forgetting about me completely, sign up to get an email reminder whenever I post. Apparently there's a setting in which you can do that.

Okay I think that's it for now. I'm all vaccinated, I have my backpack and hiking boots (and other gear), and pretty soon I'll be ready to go.

Hasta luego!
