The Epic South America Travelly Thing
I rocked up to Buenos Aires looking every inch the tourist to begin my adventure around South America, my worldy belongings strapped to my torso and the "look at me, I'm totally lost and vunerable" look plastered across my face. I might as well have had "Please Rob Me" tattooed on my forehead. So I might as well stop insisting that I'm a backpacker, NOT a tourist and embrace the blank stares that being a tourist allows you to indulge in while I try and ditch the crowds, learn the language and find the path less trodden. No plan, just a map and a vague idea that South America might be pretty.
