The Final Countdown

Still 5 weeks to go to my departure. I am getting nervous about all the things I still have to do, like getting injections against rabies, buying hiking material in a giant shop in Cologne (http://www.globetrotter.de/), getting my achilles cured (fingers crossed), finding a family to take care of my sweet dog... and of course saying goodbye to my hommies!

I am flying on the 3th January to Rio de Janeiro with one backpack and some guts. I could arrange a pickup in the airport by the mother of a friend in Belgium. I will be staying with this family for two days in a small village near Rio and close to the sea. I am so excited to live with locals!

After that I will go to Iguazu, the waterfalls at the border between Brasil and Argentina, to end up for three weeks in Buenos Aires. I had contact with a girl from Ferring, with whom I worked for four year and she is happy to show me around. At the beginning of February, I hope my (step)brother Sam will arrive in BA, so we can go hiking in Patagonia.

I am so looking forward to be in the amazing nature of the Latin America!!!
