Possibility of more content

I have realized that my blog here has gone greatly untouched this weekend but breaking my laptop, sketchy internet connection, and general laziness added up to fewer and fewer posts. I wish that I was still on the travel in many ways although I do have to admit to enjoying my time near home. The section of time from the time I returned to from England to what is now April has been spent relaxing and doing some minimal amounts of work. That said here is what I am looking into now...

I realize that I am going to have to actually stash a few more dollars into my bank account to actually afford the vagabond lifestyle that I have grown to love so I am currently mowing grass and doing yard-work to make a few extra bucks. Along with the yard-work I hope to be working for the US Census during the months of May and June. I am sure it will be odd to be back to work (granted I did work for 2 weeks this past winter at a pizza place.... not fun).

Other than that I am planning my escape from the country again. I doubt I ever mentioned this in the past because it was in the works but I had a job lined up for February of this year to Teach English in South Korea, but that fell through at the very last second so now I am looking for more work abroad. I have started dropping applications to South America and spending some time boning up on my Spanish repertoire.

Hopefully I can try and post some of my adventures around here to regain my knack for blogging and get on the road to somewhere with "international" flavor by July.

That said, wish me luck and thanks for reading.

Rain Gear Call to Action

Before heading off on my South American Adventure (yes, that was over 5 months ago) I purchased a simple raincoat in Florida because it was on sale and I had packed nothing like it. It has now been in the rainfly compartment of my pack for past 5 months and never used (neither has the rainfly on my bag). Today with the rainy weather I remember that it was still packed in the bag so it has emerged and will face its first test today.

The coat has been in 13 countries so far including the one I purchased it in and this is its first taste of the elements.

The Epic - 30 Min Video of South America

So I mashed up all of my videos from South America to make just one for the entire trip. It lasts 30 minutes so I applaud you if you make it the whole way through and I apologize for its length.



Now to start looking toward Europe. The Jonnywalkeradventures will be heading East as early as January to check out new places. Wish me luck.

On my way out of South America

Now that I am closing out this leg of my adventures in South America in Lima and doing such wonderful things such as talk down the price of bootlegged DVD down to under 70 cents American at the massive Polvos Azules *Similar to a black market... I am ready to go home.With my camera still down I will just boost some random pics and show some airport shots. I fly out of Lima's airport at Midnight tonight en route to Fort Lauderdale, Florida.



Six hours to go until American soil... wish me luck.

Then just the 12 hours or more in a car to be i West Virginia again.

Getting Ready for My Trip

Tomorrow morning I am heading to Florida to catch my flight on Sunday to Lima Peru to start my South American adventure. In recovering from the leg injury I packed on some pounds so I decided to weigh myself pre and post-trip to see if I can bring it down ore ultimately end up getting bigger.

It says 170.2 on the scale for the pre

I also don't want to waste time with getting haircuts so I buzzed the hair down to nothing so I am back to being a cancer patient for a while.

Well the trip starts tomorrow so keep checking the blog and jonnywalkeradventures.com
