15 December 2006
After coming home to Enrique’s apartment one night having finally made contact with a guy named Mauro who lives and works with kids in the favela of Parada de Lucas only to be screamed at by my host about being crazy for wanting to go into such a dangerous place and for not realizing that people from different social classes can never share a friendship, I fled Leme for Santa Teresa.

Wow. are you going to do now? This is such a 180 from your first post about Enrique.
Sorry I´m behind on reading your blog. Interesting experience with the host! I´m staying with my first SERVAS host in a few days in Lima. Jenny stayed with the same woman and seemed to like her. I suppose host families can be hit and miss.
Hi,
I'm leaving for my own Bonderman adventure this December, so it's been exciting and very helpful reading your blog. I have a few very basic logistical sort of questions for you. No rush, of course, but any feedback you can offer or any other general pre-trip advice would be much appreciated. Thanks so much. Hope post-Bonderman life is treating you well. Best, Jed Murr
p.s. I'm planning to travel for 4 1/2 months in South America and then 4 1/2 months in South and Southeast Asia (India, Nepal, Bhutan, Tibet, Vietnam), in case that helps.
What recommendations do you have for medical and travel insurance?
How much of my air travel would you recommend buying before I leave the US?
Do you recommend the "around the world" tickets or getting a series of budget one-ways through someone like STA Travel?
Do you recommend any homestay or couch-surfing services? Volunteer networks?
Travel pack or mountaineering style pack?
What basic thing do you wish you had done differently?
Any blog and/or online photo services you recommend?
