Our Mission Statement

We travel because we found ourselves unsatisfied, the taste of what we were supposed to do had gone sour in our mouths. We wander because we can, because we were no longer comfortable in our comfort zone. We move so that our minds may never turn to stone as we sit and follow orders. We embark because we do not need anything we cannot carry on our backs. We travel to feel the fear of the unknown and the freedom of knowing nothing. We travel to learn, to love, to experience. We Go to taste a little of South America and bite into the unknown.

the commune

the last five days have been spent living as true communists. We have gotten jobs painting murals for a hostel that is not open yet. in exchange for our work we recieve a free place to live and three meals a day. we wake up in the morning and head up from our tent which is set up under a roof type structure to the main house. a rivers' large boulders, crystal clear aquamarine water and humming insects  create a constant background song. We eat breakfast with about 10 men and one woman. 6 of the men are german, 2 american, and one australian. The woman is the only local colombian in the group. We spend the day painting our murals of different jungle scenes and spend our evenings cooking or relaxing with our new short term community. the artwork is a slow process and there is no knowing how long it will take. in the meantime we have found a truly beautiful place in the hills of san rafeal to spend a few weeks.
