I just realized I'm 24 and I've never been out of this hemisphere. What the hell have I been doing all this time?
I aim to resolve this, in Fall '07 or '08, or Spring '07. I'm considering the logistics of a trip southward, one that would combine my primary pasttimes.

• The trip down would be coastal, allowing for a thorough sampling of Pacific surf spots, from Baja to Chile.
• There would be an excellent photo account of the trip.
• We'd ride.
• (I'd bring a gameboy for the downtime.)

There are some clear incompatibilities, such as:

• You can't carry a board on a bike.
• Bikes are easy to jack, your camera gear would be unprotected.
• Pricey camera gear doesn't do well in South America.

Well you can't spell 'adventure' without the... errr... p-r-o-b-l-e-m-s-o-l-v-i-n-g.

But in the end it's doable and would be fun, like that movie Easy Rider. Except replace the chrome with KLRs (pictured), coca with immodium, hippie commune with surf shack, N'Orleans with Rio, hairy naked chicks with smooth naked chicks, and downer ending with ice cream.
