Hey, my name is Collin and I am a 20 year from Fairbanks Alaska. I am a student at Western Washington University who is taking these next several months to NOT be a student and just travel. Whoo!
I'm starting on my bike in Quito Ecuador in September, and hope to make it to Costa Rica by August 2008, with a quick stop in Patagonia in between. Yep, hope all goes well.

EDIT:I think I might stp biking in March and start volunteering in various places for longer periods of time. I LOVE my bike, but I think I might want to slow down in a bit. In Santiago right now, next is Ushuaia, Argentina!

Hey Kids!

Hey Collin,
Have been enjoying reading of your adventures, though some obviously more challenging than enjoyable. (e.g. Chilean wind, lost camera, stolen wallet). How good is your Spanish now?
Hope you make it back none the worse and more enriched from the experience.
Best wishes for 2008.

COLLIN!
Your trip is sounding more and more amazing as it goes along. I can't believe all the stories, I LOVE THEM! I hope all is well and that the holiday time isn't getting to you too much.... I'm thinking of you, and I can't wait until we are all back in the ham swapping stories!
Love, Meghan

Collin,
I ran into your dad today at a truckers' memorial for Dale Harris. Dale (Joe Harris' dad) died in a trucking accident. There were nearly 100 semi-trucks in the parade.
WAY TO GO with your adventure! I wish you the best and enjoy every minute of it. Some day an adventure like yours, maybe a little smaller, will come my way. I am scoutmaster for troop one which keeps me busy and gives me gray hair. I love working with the youth.
Be safe and enjoy life.

COLLIN!!! Wow. You look to be a having a truly awesome time down south. You are way rad. Stay safe, stay strong and keep fighting the big F... You've got a fan right here. You gotta tell me some stories someday! I also still need to hear about the time you hitchhiked across canada!!

Haha! Collin, your travelblog sounds like something out of a Lonely Planet adventure book. That must mean you are doing something right! Keep it up! And never forget your towel!

Collin, Got the dinosaur up and running and the connection is decent today. Have only had to reconnect twice so far. Pictures are great and this site is pretty slick. What a great way to keep up with your adventure. Warmed up to +20 here today, no new snow. Wonder what your day is like. Have a good one. DAD

Collin! You're awesome! I was just thinking about you today, and then I checked the WWU Cycling messageboard and saw your post. Cool stuff, it looks like you're having a grand ol' time. Keep the posting coming, it's great to experience another traveler's journey secondhand..except for malaria pills. I don't have any desire at this juncture in life to experience those quite yet. But all the rest, the firehouses, the Incan ruins, and all of the llama (or alpaca) pics that you want to include. The more the better!
Anyway, I'm writing from Lisbon, Portugal at a time when I should most definitely be sleeping, so I'll stop here. ¡Que te cuides!
Tchau!
Erin Okay, here, you just look like a political prisoner.
