traveller...mos def. punk...not so much.
headed down to guatemala in about 3 weeks. i'll travel and work in various central/south american countries for as long as my checking account will take me. (thank the airline gods for open-ended and open-jawed tickets.)
i'm a vermonter...after quitting art school after first year i decided to try to release myself from the ignorant grasp of the western world...or something. i went to nepal for 3 months. i worked with a volunteer agency for the first 2 mo. then left them and went out on my own...very fufilling.
seems to me there are a lot more people travelling around europe than elsewhere...but i'll take what advice and wisdom i can get.
keep moving....
