johnrogers’ posterous - my stories of travel, adventure, and learning
« Back to blog

Hello and welcome!

I have invited you here to keep up with my upcoming adventures.  You can use the links to the right to subscribe via posterous, e-mail, or RSS.  Also there is a link to my SPOT GPS locator, which will show my most recent location from anywhere in the world.

As of the beginning of December I will no longer be a working stiff.  By choice, I am resigning from my position at Strands to embark on a 3 month journey though South America.  By January 1st I will be arriving in Lima, Peru, where I will join a few good friends to expedition through the Amazon, hike Machu Picchu, swim in Lake Titicaca, and visit the ancient cities of Peru.

By mid-January my friends will have returned Stateside, and for the months to come I will be living out of an 65L pack, backpacking through South America... alone (for now).

I speak 0 Spanish and have never traveled outside of the U.S. (Canada and Caribbean don't count).  This is certain to be a life-defining experience, and I will be using my posterous to share pictures, stories, and videos of my adventures.

Considering there will be mixed company reading my posterous I will do my best to keep it appropriate for all, so please keep the comments appropriate as well.  If I cross paths with some topless natives in the jungle, however, don't be surprised to see some a picture of John + 2.

Be well,
