On a lighter note of all thats been happening, staying tuned into http://1adventurelife.blogspot.com

This my blog of near future travels, experiences, exploration and kayaking ventures as I go back to South
America to the Futaleufu valley in Chile. The heart of Patagonia.

Over the course of the season in South America I will venture North of the Futa valley to the Creeking destination
of Pucon and towards Peru's historical sanctuary of Machu Piccu. While on the famous Inca Trail.

The adventure starts 7th of December

Stay tuned on http://1adventurelife.blogspot.com

I haven't asked a question recently and I thought well why not talk about what's really on my mind, first off I want to ask do you ever find your life inspiring or do you get inspired by things just random things, do you think you have a purpose to fill that you always knew you should have done or do you ever consider yourself lucky to have the life you have the point I'm trying to get at is do you ever feel like you fufilled your dreams or passions or are you looking for something more, I'm 16 and I have just been overwhemled with life and just how inspiring it can be but also how diffcult it can be sometimes and I find i hard to not think about the past cause I had a lot of freedom and adventure back then life was fun and somedays I find hard to not think about the past but also I don't know if I'm really getting to a point or not but I just keep having these weird images in my head like visions of what my life is or could have been and I wish these visions were real cause they are so amazing they are like dreams that I wish could come true. I just get inspired by art,music,movies and random things a lot that I kind of know what I want my life to be like, the reason I think about the past is because things were better and also I was younger back then and things seemed more carefree and adventureous. I also feel I need to become famous so I can show everyone what a passion I have to do things I do and inspire others to really enjoy and become the best they can be, it's something I can't shake for some reason, maybe I need it or really want it. I just think people around me, especially my family don't enjoy life or get inspired it's really sad, sometimes I feel hopeless. I also feel I could do so much better with my life.

Follow the link.. Check out the video.

Through good friendship has led myself to this point in my life, that I have been granted this life. Without
the encouragement and advice from my friends, I don't think I would be where I am today.
Through the Shackleton Course, I have found ambition and it has opened a door of possibilities in the outdoor
industry.
And kayaking has given myself inspiration to continue with this sport and on the journey which I have decided to
follow.

Well folks it took a while to get here but I finally did. And what an amazing place this is.
I'm working for Heidal Rafting this season so, if anybody is around the area this summer. Drop by and we'll
go for a paddle.
But for now.. I hope to make you all jealous with some sweet kayaking I've had here so far.
Clean lines everbody.
Have a good summer

Enjoy -
