關於這個網誌
原先這裡只關於南美。
由2013年6月開始在南美的森林和原野遊歷，雖然錢還是有，但總有盡時。從此為了省下食住行，住沙發，截順風車，打工交換住宿。有機會時再賺點零錢。
始終，還未看夠。
原本無想過要開 blog，因為懶。17個月後才開 blog，因為得閑。
兩年遊過了哥倫比亞，厄瓜多爾，智利，秘魯，玻利維亞，阿根廷，巴西，烏拉圭，巴拉圭，直至2015年的6月。
連最想去的南美都去過了之後，我應該怎樣？
我應該繼續去其他還未去過的地方，繼續邊旅行邊工作，繼續在旅行中生活。
所以由2016年開始，這裡的一切都不再只關於南美。
我走到那裡，她就關於那裡。
關於我和旅行這回事
那年跟一個小時候的好朋友重聚閒聊，他說：
「以前你曾經說過要去流浪，想不到你真的去了。」
有嗎？我有說過「要流浪」嗎？我想我只是搞錯了旅行和流浪吧。
不過，旅行這回事原來是我小時候的「我的志願」。

1997年
看完了春光乍洩：
我要去世界盡頭，我要去布宜諾斯，我要去伊瓜蘇，我要去南美！
。。。
1999年
第一次獨自上路，去英國，航空公司遺失了我的行李，害我衣衫單薄地在寒風中向母親大人報平安時，哭了。
。。。
2002年
在蘭州火車站跟好友分道揚鑣，瞞著家人，開始自己一個人的旅行
。。。
2005年
正準備著年尾辭工去南美，母親大人卻拿著一篇報章報導跟我說：
「不要去南美。你看，澳洲原來有工作假期這回事，它有年齡限制的，再不去你就超齡了。先去這個，之後再去南美吧。」
就這樣開始了邊旅行邊工作這回事。
。。。
2009年
去過了澳洲，愛爾蘭，英國工作假期，原本想由歐洲去南美，卻因至親離世，匆匆回港。
最後既不旅行也不工作，去了瑞典讀書。
。。。
2013年
書讀完了，錢花光了，再回港工作過後又儲夠錢了，終於再無閒事掛心頭，起行去南美。
。。。
2016年
在南美的森林和原野遊歷了兩年，連最想去的地方也去過了，我應該怎樣？
不如我哋由頭嚟過？
又由歐洲重頭開始
去其他還未去過的地方，繼續邊旅行邊工作，繼續在旅行中生活。
The beginning of Living in Traveling
I started to travel South America since 2013. At the beginning, I traveled like most backpackers, staying in hostel, taking public transport, paid everything by my saving money and moving to different places every few days or a week or two sometimes. It’s fun to travel like this but my money was running out quick in this way. Also, there were lot more places that I wanted to go than I planned. I still had money but it couldn’t last forever, especially after I entered into the most expensive country in South America, Chile. I knew it’s time to change my way of traveling if I wanted to keep going.
I started to do couchsurfing, volunteering and hitchhiking to reduce the traveling cost. But to make my trip endless, I also looked for some paid jobs too, especially after my unhappy event in Argentina.
To travel in this way, my traveling pace had slowed down a lot. Not only I would never know how much time I needed for hitchhiking, I also spent months in different places for working and volunteering. But then, I knew more local people than just meeting fellow backpackers in hostels before. I had more time to wander around different corners of a place than just sightseeing. It’s at this time that I started to feel like living while I was traveling at the same time.
After 2 years living in traveling Colombia, Ecuador, Chile, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay, I went back home, Hong Kong, to see my family and work a bit. But my traveling story is not going to just stop here. So I’m hitting on the road again in 2016. This time, it’ll all begin from Europe.
This blog is just about every little bit of how I live and travel the beautiful South America and Europe now, and hopefully more to come later.
